Hi there and welcome! I am still basking in my own joy because I have finally gone back to cooking!no more take aways. I just love how I can come up with different recipes, even better the web is full of them. I must confess I am yet to fully follow a recipe to the T, all of them so far I have made major alterations but that's ok that's called cooking (ha self praise). Now let me share with you my quick and easy salmon meal I had the last night.
Ingredients
Salmon fillets
Spring onions, chopped finely
Chilli, chopped finely
Lime juice (zest too if prefer) 1 tablespoon
Butter
Cooking oil 1 tablespoon
Method
Heat the cooking oil and fry the salmon for 5 minutes or till crisp and make sure you start with the skin part.
Once cooked or crisp, turn on to the sides and cook for 2 minutes each side.
... Put aside once done...
Melt a knob of butter in the pan, once done fry the spring onions, chilli plus lime zest (if included) for 3 minutes then add the lime juice.
Pour the sauce you just made onto the salmon and serve with either a salad or rice. I chose rice cause I needed a full and filling meal.
This is a light meal which can be eaten at anytime, it is easy to prepare and delicious. What do you think? Do you like salmon? If so how do you like yours cooked?
It looks yummy. I love salmon, it is one of my favorites. I steam or oven bake mine though normally
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicola, I just started cooking again so maybe next time I mighy steam or bake x
DeleteIt's lunch time (actually is 2.15pm so past lunch time, but I haven't yet eaten) and this is making me feel terribly hungry. I'm partial to a bit of salmon. This recipe looks scrummy! Tx
ReplyDeleteLooking at my pictures I am going to make another lol
DeleteI have a huge craving for Salmon lately, everytime I go shopping I end up with some Salmon in the trolley. Love the look and sound of this one, as always !!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sharon, I too love salmon but the cooking only started this week again lol
DeleteWhat a feast! My husband is a HUGE Salmon lover and would go bonkers over this dish :D
ReplyDeleteThank you it was a feast indeed x
DeleteMy fiance loves salmon, this might be a tasty treat for a special dinner soon.
ReplyDeleteI actually have never liked Salmon which is unfortunate because it seems to be like the healthiest food out there!! Your recipe looks tasty though, maybe I need to suck it up and try to find a way to enjoy Salmon!
ReplyDeleteThanks and let me know when you try it, I think sometimes we just need the courage to try something new x
DeleteLooks delish! I don't really love salmon - it's tasty but I'm always so put off by the ridiculous amount of bones you have to take out of it as you eat it. Ruins the whole experience.
ReplyDeleteUgh! That's so avoidable and hopefully you don't have that experience in restaurants. It's a sign of a lazy cook/chef.
DeleteI agree with Amby its sign of laziness in the kitchen if the chef serves salmon with bones in it. This one I bought from sainsburys has no bone what so ever x
DeleteWow, delectable photos of the salmon! It looks delicious! <3
ReplyDeleteThanks Taneja x
DeleteYour photos are great! I am not a huge salmon fan myself but can fabricate the heck out of a 25 pounder! hehe!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha I love that "fabricate the heck out if a 25 pounder" I might just need to see that lol x
DeleteI love salmon too! I usually brine it with olive oil lemon juice and herbs and cook both sides lightly- this looks absolutely delish!
ReplyDeleteI am so gonna try that on Tuesday night, thanks x
DeleteWe make salmon at least once a week. Either raw as sashimi, or pan fried and then served over rice or udon noodles. My hubby also makes it with parchment paper in the oven, which has a steamed effect - delicious. We make extra pieces and then eat it cold with potatoes or salad - we eat a LOT of salmon!
ReplyDeleteI was planning on having it potatoe salad, thanks x
DeleteLooks like I know what I'm making for dinner this week!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness this looks yummy! I love salmon!
ReplyDeleteThanks x
DeleteLooks super tasty - I'm a big fish fan and have it almost every day for lunch, so this would work perfectly for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I want to incorporate it more in my diet
DeleteOh my gosh! This looks SO GOOD! I LOVE salmon! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather x
DeleteWow it looks like you are a good cook. It looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks Karissa appreciate that
DeleteI wish I liked fish, this would be such a healthy dinner option.
ReplyDeleteLooks good, even though I don't eat seafood! haha
ReplyDeleteThis looks great really simple and delicious :-)
ReplyDeleteLove salmon and am always looking for a new recipe. I'll definitely be trying this one!
ReplyDeleteI too love salmon and thanks x
DeleteI enjoy grilling salmon then squeezing lime juice over it when done. Your recipe looks like a great one I can try in the kitchen. :)
