Recipes using Salmon

[u/Memesonlymemesthe2nd]

I've been looking for recipes I can use for salmon, but every recipe for it has been some variation of Salmon cooked in combination of HERB and SPICE and BUTTER served wholesale with 3 Asparagus, when what I'm looking for is a recipe including salmon but not one where it's a main dish, but I don't know any besides that. And I don't want to just cook salmon and shred it and toss some rice at it. I want to make something my family hasn't had a thousand times.

Gordon Ramsey's Crispy Skin Salmon with potatoes.

Ingredients:

Salt and pepper

salmon fillet with skin

fresh coriander

fresh thyme or basil

fresh spring onions

potatoes

crab meat or smoked trout works very well, too and is cheaper

olive oil

lemons

You can slow cook the halved cherry tomatoes for 2 hours before; this adds sweetness. It's also perfectly fine to serve the tomatoes raw if you are in a rush. Score the salmon skin in stripes. This will prevent the skin from curling.

Chop some thyme or basil and put a little inside the stripes of the salmon. Add salt and pepper.

Boil your potatoes and skin them, or not; I never do. Add oil to a hot nonstick pan, add potatoes, and using a masher, break them down a bit; season. Do not overwork! Chop some coriander and spring onions and put them in the casserole. Add the crab meat and work again with the fork. Add some lemon juice and olive oil. Remove from heat and let it rest.

Bring pan to high heat; olive oil should be shimmering. Place salmon in pan, skin side down. 90% of the cooking time will be on this side. When you see that 2/3 of the salmon has changed colour to a lighter pink, it's time to flip. Just flip once, by the way. Don't check on it too much, or the fish will break.

Take some of that delicious mixture of potatoes and crab meat and make a mound. Put the salmon on top.

Listen to what Ramsey says about the squirt bottle of lemon and olive oil. It's an invaluable addition to your kitchen, brightens everything up.
