i always do salmon in the micro. sometimes with lemon juice or wine or herbs. one of our favourite ways is to micro it, then flake it into a bowl. add cooked peas and /or sweetcorn, cooked pasta and a jug of made-up packet mix hollondaise sauce (with cream added if you happen to have any). stir it all up and serve as it is or with some broc.
coat lightly in liquorice powder and pan fry :-) i stole the rough idea from a heson blumenthal prog i saw and it was lovely
I like to make my own herby breadcrumbs. dip in egg then breadcrumbs then fry in olive oil. serve with a dollop of horseradish sauce.
Heat a heavy frying pan till it's very hot - you'll know when it's hot enough if you flick some water from your fingers into the pan, and it doesn't just lie there sizzling, but runs about in the pan in tiny balls.
Put a couple of drops of oil in the pan, and spread it around with a paper towel to coat the surface thinly. (Salmon is an oily fish, and will cook in its own oil).
Place the fish in the pan. It might well stick to the pan at this point, so place each piece carefully!.
Keep cooking, and occasionally shaking the pan until the fish no longer sticks. Then turn the fish over and do the other side, again until the salmon unsticks by itself. (Don't be tempted to use a spatula to unstick the fish, or the fish will likely break up).
The end result is salmon that's crispy crunchy on the outside, and deliciously different. You could dab a piece of lemon or herb butter on top if you're so minded.
Marinate in soy sauce,honey and Balsamic vinegar
Make a salsa of finely chopped tamatoes,and spring or red onions.
Bake the salmon in the oven for about 15 min...spooning the salsa over halfway thru.
Ooops..forgot...add some finely chopped fresh basil to the salsa.
Try placing 100g smoked salmon, 150g Philadelphia, squeeze of lemon juice, sprinkle of rock salt and pinch of freshly-chopped dill into food processor and whiz until smooth (or slightly coarse - depending on taste). Spread across Melba toast, garnish with a sprig of dill and a light dusting of paprika. Makes a great canape - especially when served with a glass of champagne!
