Simple Salmon
I’m pretty fussy when it comes to where I buy fruit & veg, fish, meat and chicken from. At some time or another I have bought some of all these things and they have been such poor quality or so far beyond their use-by/best-before date that I’ve had to throw them away, and that bothers me more than just about anything (yes, I try to get refunds/exchanges whenever possible). So most of the time I stick to a couple of trusted suppliers and tend to shy away from the big supermarkets and bulk-buying butchers.
I’m particularly fussy when it comes to fish, but when I was at Costco the other day they had some salmon that was labelled as packed on that day. And it looked pretty good. I took a chance and bought a whole side of salmon, skinned and pin-boned. I think I paid about $30/kg for it, which is good.
Well, it was delicious. Definitely fresh, and the flavour was superb. I cut it up into 180g pieces, wrapped each one in a couple of slices of prosciutto, pan-seared them for two minutes on each side then finished off in the oven for about 7 minutes to cook them right through. Since the oven was on, we had them with roasted kipfler potatoes and a quick green salad.
Looks lovely! I don’t have a Costco membership but occasionally go with a friend. Last time we went, she convinced me to buy the salmon (she said it was awesome). I was skeptical but it was. Awesome. And so much more affordable. Next time I will try it the way you made it. It looks delicious.
YUM!!!
what a great way to serve salmon. How lovely!
