Salmon Three Ways

Feb 10, 2014 17:00

I dug the second of the two farmed Chilean salmon sides (1 1/2 pounds), I bought a while ago, out of my basement freezer and after letting it thaw, I trimmed it and portioned the best part into 4 servings to marinate for a nice Sunday dinner ( Read more... )

It's been so long since I've shoveled snow. I'd like to say I missed it but sadly, I don't. :) I love that you turned treasures from your freezer into not one but three nutritious meals. I like them all.

Thank you. It's hard to be creative when the weather is so miserable and you're trying to keep purchases of new ingredients to a minimum. Though I want some fresh fruit ie strawberries, blueberries or raspberries for garnishing desserts.

Now that looks yummy, but I never would have thought of serving coleslaw with salmon. It looks yummy...

You serve fish and chips with coleslaw. Why not salmon? :)

I don't, but I know some people do. I prefer hush puppies with mine. Just never thought about it as I never serve salmon (it's one of the few things the Big Guy really doesn't like it, so I don't serve it).

Salmon has grown on me as a fish choice. My favourites were orange roughy, now no longer available locally, and sole which is very mild. I also like cod and haddock served at local Sir Cedric's Fish and Chips restaurants.

I like hush puppies ... a lot but can't find them served in restaurants locally.. First had them in Raleigh at a fish market restaurant with clam strips and eventually tried to make them myself. But only once. Between the need to deep fry, which I don't like doing, and the results being dry and not very tasty, I've not tried making them again.

Your use of salmon is so creative! I like the way it looks with coleslaw's red cabbage bits (or is it red onion?). Sissi

Thank you. I'm going to do something else with the salmon in the next couple of days. I was inspired last night. :)

It's red cabbage, part of a pre-shredded coleslaw mix that I buy for convenience.
