I love bargains!
We bought 2 pieces for salmon fillet for less than AU$19/kg . The usual price is $32/kg. It was fresh and pink. I haven't had salmon for ages! What a bonus.
My mind began to twirl. Miso salmon? Butter garlic Salmon? Grilled? Baked? Steam? The possibilities were endless.
In the end, I decided to keep it simple.
Spiced Grilled Salmon with Bean Salad (serves 2)
2 pieces of salmon fillet
2-3 tsp of chili flakes
2 tsp of cumin
1 tablespoon of olive oil
2 tsp of minced garlic
Marinate salmon with spiced mix and olive oil. Season if needed. Heat grill pan to hot. Grill salmon both sides for approximately 3-5 minutes.
Bean Salad
1/2 cucumber chopped
1 can of butter beans
2 tsp of sesame oil
2 tsp of sesame seeds
1 tsp of lemon juice
Toss ingredients together. Serve with grilled salmon!
Yummy salmon! :) Love it.

ReplyDeleteSome say that brighter-colored salmon has been artificially processed - is that true ?

ReplyDeleteukp10/kg is abpout the normal price for us here but I seldom use salmon as it is relatively expensive compared to cod. I have tried your method of cooking, although with different marinades, but maybe will try salmon with a lighter marinade like yours as it has a more dinstinctive flavour than most other white fish.
ReplyDeleteDelicious! I love salmon, it is so fresh and yummy!
ReplyDeleteSingairishgirl- me too! ^5
ReplyDeletebeachlover- it does go well together! Clean and simple I suppose. How did yours go???
Mochacholarata Rita- Dessert follows the main meal so that's enough! hehe. I can't remembered if that was AR's or my portion but most likely it's his. Go for it! EXPAND IT!
lia- hi lia! Welcome!!!
bigboys- yeah! Keep it simple ya =)
tigerfish- I like the black pepper and lemon juice suggestion! I used to do that as well. Does the colour depend on where it is farm? Maybe deep sea fish is pinker than those farmed one?
