Smoked Salmon Wraps

January 23rd, 2010

Salmon is always one of my favorite – especially smoked salmon, and raw salmon in sashimi :)

I’ve just found this recipe about Smoked Salmon and I think I’m going to share it with you guys.. looks interesting.. so the next step is to try it by ourselves :)

Now.. I take this recipe from salmonrecipes.net which a great site for salmon fans like me .. they describe this recipe as “A simply devine salmon wrap with cream cheese, lemon juice, chives, bacon and salad leaves”

Salmon Wrap Ingredients:

  • 250g full fat soft cream cheese
  • 15ml spoon lemon juice
  • 15ml spoon freshly chopped chives
  • 2 rashers unsmoked back bacon, grilled and finely chopped
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 150g smoked salmon
  • mixed salad leaves
  • vinaigrette dressing
  • lemon wedges to garnish
  • fresh chives

Method:

Soften the cream cheese by beating well. Stir in the lemon juice, chives, bacon and seasoning to taste.

Lay a slice of smoked salmon on a flat surface, cut in half and place a rounded 5ml spoon of the cheese mixture at one end.

Roll up the salmon to enclose the filling and tie a chive around the salmon, like a string, to garnish. Serve on a bed of mixed salad leaves dressed with vinaigrette and garnish or serve with lemon wedges. Makes an ideal first course.

 

Ok, you have the recipe .. now… start cooking ! :)

Honey-Soy Broiled Salmon

December 4th, 2009

by EatingWell

honey-soy-broiled-salmon

Ingredients

- 1 scallion, minced
- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 pound center-cut salmon fillet, skinned (see Tip) and cut into 4 portions
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, (see Tip)

Preparations

  1. Whisk scallion, soy sauce, vinegar, honey and ginger in a medium bowl until the honey is dissolved. Place salmon in a sealable plastic bag, add 3 tablespoons of the sauce and refrigerate; let marinate for 15 minutes. Reserve the remaining sauce.
  2. Preheat broiler. Line a small baking pan with foil and coat with cooking spray.
  3. Transfer the salmon to the pan, skinned-side down. (Discard the marinade.) Broil the salmon 4 to 6 inches from the heat source until cooked through, 6 to 10 minutes. Drizzle with the reserved sauce and garnish with sesame seeds.

Tips

  • Tips: How to skin a salmon fillet: Place skin-side down. Starting at the tail end, slip a long knife between the fish flesh and the skin, holding down firmly with your other hand. Gently push the blade along at a 30° angle, separating the fillet from the skin without cutting through either.
  • To toast sesame seeds, heat a small dry skillet over low heat. Add seeds and stir constantly, until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool.
