With its soft texture and the rich flavour, salmon is loved by many and can be prepared in creative ways to satisfy every palate. In this article, we suggest five unmissable recipes that will delight your senses and make every dish unique.
Baked salmon with herbs
One of the simplest and tastiest ways to prepare salmon is to bake it in the oven with a mixture of aromatic herbs. Prepare a seasoning with parsley, thyme, garlic, olive oil and salt. Spread this mixture on slices of fresh salmon and bake in the oven for a tasty explosion of flavours.
First, mix the chopped fresh parsley, thyme, crushed garlic, olive oil and salt in a bowl. Spread this mixture over the slices of fresh salmon.
Place the salmon on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 15-20 minutes, until the fish is tender and lightly browned.
Grilled salmon steaks with lemon sauce
Grilling salmon is a method that brings out its flavour. Marinate salmon steaks in olive oil, lemon juice, chopped garlic and rosemary before grilling. Serve with a fresh lemon-based sauce for a touch of freshness.
Mix olive oil, fresh lemon juice, chopped garlic and rosemary.
Leave the salmon slices to marinate for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the grill and, once hot, cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a lightly golden crust forms.
Serve the salmon steak with a fresh lemon sauce that you can prepare with lemon, oil, salt and pepper.
Salmon marinated in soy sauce and honey
An intriguing alternative is to marinate fresh salmon in a mixture of soy sauce, honey, grated ginger and garlic. Allow the fish to marinate for a while, then pan-fry it to create a caramelised crust that will make every bite irresistible.
Mix together the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger and garlic. Marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Heat a non-stick frying pan, add a drizzle of oil and cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes on each side over medium-high heat. This will give the salmon a caramelised crust and an irresistible flavour.
Fresh salmon salad with avocado and mango
If you love light, fresh dishes, try a salad with pieces of fresh salmon, diced ripe avocado, sweet mango and a few fresh mint leaves. Dress with a delicious lime and olive oil vinaigrette for a tropical flavour combination.
First, cut the salmon into cubes and mix it with ripe avocado (also cubed), pieces of sweet mango and fresh mint leaves. Prepare a vinaigrette with lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Dress the salad with this fresh and light vinaigrette.
Grilled salmon with butter and herb sauce
Use a hot griddle to cook the salmon steaks, adding a simple sauce of melted butter, garlic and herbs such as fennel or dill. Cooking quickly on a hot surface will give the salmon a crispy crust.
Melt the butter in a frying pan and add some chopped garlic and herbs such as fennel and dill. Heat the griddle well, add a drizzle of oil and cook the salmon steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side, creating the usual crispy crust. Serve the salmon with the butter and herb sauce.
