Fish
People who know me can tell you that I don’t eat fish. It’s the regular cooked ones that can make me sick. I can take McDonald’s Fish Fillet easily, but not other kinds of fillet. Fish fingers are ok, while fish cakes are not. Too fishy if you ask me.
I became fond of sushi and sashimi many many years ago to the
shock of family and friends. WHY??? It shouldn't be a shock, should it now?! It really doesn't taste like fish... well at least, it doesn't taste like cooked fish.
I have
never cooked fish. But it seems that, whatever inspiration I have now, is introducing itself to hunger. I don't know why I am thinking of grilled salmon.
I can actually take cooked salmon, but it
would usually mean that I would have to stay off fish for about a month or so, to recover.
I am not sure whether I could actually enjoy this.
Grilled Salmon.
Get a nice (I don’t know much about fish, remember!) portion
of salmon.
Crush half of a clove of garlic and massage gently with
olive oil onto salmon.
Salt to taste, sprinkle freshly crushed black pepper on one
side.
Put in hot grill / pan / skillet thing. Grill for a few minutes making sure not to
overcook. Put in some chopped red shallots in skillet.
When done, put immediately on a warmed plate and put some
place warm. Pour in mixture of water (or favourite / appropriate stock), soy sauce, honey and mustard into the skillet and reduce mixture. Add in corn starch solution if sauce needs thickening.
Pour sauce onto fish, sprinkle with finely chopped spring
onions. If sauce needs muting, or for any excuse to use cream, place a table spoon of heavy cream on the side.
Serve with oven grilled potato cubes, seasoned with sea
salt, virgin olive oil and herbs.
I seriously don’t know how it would taste, and if it’ll work
with other fish. I’ll try it out one day… and tell you if anything needs to be altered. I might even have some of it… but I’ll make sure that I have a medium rare fillet mignon as my backup. I am sure N
and Azmina would appreciate having fish for dinner – cos they haven’t, in a very long time.
