So, you’re in your kitchen with your fresh salmom, a bunch of different utenils and condiments. What do you do next? It is difficult to know how to begin. The microwave appears to be an option, but is ultimately cast aside. There are many options for dinner — how about salmon? What if I Broil the salmon? Can you even fry fish?! There are online resources for everything — even for feeling faint and dizzy. Before you collapse, go online and check them out. You can go to http://www.bassonhook.com/fishforfood/fishcookingtechniques.html They have many options and they explain all of the different ways that fish can be cooked.
You may also want to use different zests to give your salmon that extra kick. Squeeze a lemon or two while frying your salmon to give it that punch. Another option is to coat your salmon in bread crumbs and your choice of cream sauce. Oh my gosh! I NEVER liked baked salmon recipe before – but this was SO good!! I doubled the garlic, halved the olive oil, and used 1 tsp dried parsley. After cooking the salmon for 45 mintues, I was concerned that it would be dry, but it was very juicy.
It was a tad salty (and I love salty food!), so I might decrease the salt to 3/4 tsp next time. Yes, I actually found a salmon dish delicious, and I’m sure I’m going to make it more than once again! (UPDATE: I have started using this same method for chicken breasts, and they come out amazing too!! I love to serve it over brown rice…the juice gives the rice a nice flavor.) With the 4th of July approaching, many of us are planning a traditional barbecue to celebrate with hot food without heating up the kitchen.
Burgers, hot dogs, steaks and chicken are the foods we usually think of when we contemplate firing up the charcoal; but for a wonderful change of pace, why not consider grilled salmon with sauce? Salmon fish has very tight flesh and stays properly on barbeque grill this makes it most suitable for barbecue. Simply choose steaks or fillets and cook over a hot, but not roaring flame until the fish flakes easily when prodded with the point of a knife. When nearly cooked, you can baste with butter and lemon juice.
Using a branch of fresh rosemary for the brush will also add a wonderful extra flavor to your feast. For a complete dinner, try this delicious salmon recipe. Add grilled skewers of fresh vegetables and potatoes and you’re ready to eat!
