Salmon Sauce Recipes
Salmon is a popular, delicious, protein-rich, less fatty, healthy fish that is easy to make. The presence of omega 3 fatty acids in it is known to protect heart diseases.
Salmon sauce is something very tasty and is great fun when a big family sits down to have a meal together. Salmon Sauce recipes originated in the West Indies. Salmon sauce recipes involve soaking dry cod for many days to remove the salt and make this fish a little tender. Once you perfect the salmon sauce recipe, then it turns out to be something very tasty and it does not need too much time to prepare. Of course, one can make this using live salmon also – that would be tastier and it will be quicker since the fish is already tender and so soaking is not needed. Different people use different and unique ingredients to make the dish tastier.
The basic ingredients and method for salmon sauce recipe would be:
2, sixteen ounces of Red Salmon which should not be drained Two large yellow onions which should be sliced and peeled 1, ten ounce bag of sliced, frozen, okra 1, ten ounce bag of frozen corn 1, green pepper, julienne which should be finely sliced 2 garlic cloves which should also be sliced finely 1 bay leaf 1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs 1 teaspoon seasoning salt 1 teaspoon ground white pepper Olive oil Half stick of butter - if it is salted, it is alright.
Take a large skillet - in it, lightly sauté the onion, bay leaf, green pepper, okra and garlic in the olive oil. With the help of a large wooden spoon, toss it lightly until the onion is lightly caramelized. Take care to see that the bay leaf does not break apart in the process of cooking - after this, add the salmon, tomatoes, corn and butter, all the while stirring lightly and this should be followed up by the seasoning and the herbs. After this cover and simmer on low heat for approximately 20 minutes. Pepper and salt may be added only if needed (for this, you can taste it to see if salt and pepper is needed).
What turns out now is not a very wet sauce. It is best served on top of white, steamy rice like Thai sauce recipes are served. In the Barbados, it is usual to serve salmon sauce along with corn meal cou-cou which is similar to polenta.
