Crispy Salmon.

Posted by Callista On Sunday, February 21, 2010 0 comments

Salmon is one of my favourite dish. It tastes good in raw, medium-rare or even well done. The aroma of the flesh itself isn't like any other fish, it's fragrant, juicy and tender. Do a bit of study on salmon, you will love it even more as it contains high protein, high Omega-3 fatty acids, and high vitamin D which is good for health.


This is a recipe of Crispy Salmon from Gordon Ramsay that we cooked.



Ingredients:
Salmon with skin

Garnishes:
Potato
Crab Stick
Chives
Lemon
Cherry Tomato

Instructions:
Vinaigrette:
1. Squeeze juice of 1 lemon into a bowl
2. Add in one table spoon of olive oil
3. Add some freshly ground black pepper
4. Add a pinch of salt to taste
5. Stir the mixture together

Garnishes:
Potato:
1. Cut potato into cubes and boil it until soft
2. Mash the potato, then add in minced crab stick and chopped chives
3. Add few tablespoons of vinaigrette prepared into the potato and mix well

Cherry Tomato:
1. Cut cherry tomato in half
2. Line a foil paper, add a few drop of olive oil on the foil
3. Line tomatoes on top of the foil and sprinkle some salt and ground black pepper
4. Cook in over for 15mins under 190 degree celcius

Salmon:
1. Marinate salmon with a pinch of salt.
2. Heat the pan and add olive oil to the pan, just enough to cover every edge of the pan.
3. Slowly slide the side of salmon with skin into the hot pan.
4. Cook until the orange color salmon turned pink until half of the slice
5. Turn it over to cook the other half
6. When the other half of salmon is cooked, turn it over again to continue to fry the skin of the salmon to keep it crispy

Serves the salmon with potato and cherry tomato. This crispy salmon is perfect to go with the vinaigrette as it creates the freshness after each mouthful of the fatty salmon. Delicious.
