Salmon crusted with crispy potato & pepperronata

Recipe for salmon from Norwegian Seafood Export Council and celebrity chef Karl Dobler from Au Petit Salut

Norwegian salmon crusted with crispy potato and pepperronata

Serves: 4

Approximate Cooking Time: 15 minutes

4 Norwegian salmon fillets (each 200g)

1 tsp sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

2 potatoes, peeled, grated and water squeezed out

20ml extra virgin olive oil

Pepperronata

30ml extra virgin olive oil

80g onions, peeled and cut into chunks

2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped

1 tsp chopped red chilli

150g (each) red capsicums and yellow capsicums, cut into chunks

1tsp sea salt

Methods

Season the Norwegian salmon fillets with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Press a layer of grated potatoes (about 1-cm thick) onto one side of each Norwegian salmon fillet. Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan and sear each Norwegian salmon fillet potato side down until crispy and golden brown, for about 4 minutes. Turn the Norwegian salmon fillet over and sear until cooked, for another 20 seconds.

For the pepperronata: Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan and saute the onion chunks and chopped garlic until fragrant, for about 30 seconds. Add in the chopped red chilli, red and yellow capsicums chunks and mix well. Season with the sea salt and cover to cook slowly on medium heat until soft, for about 5 minutes.

Place the pepperronata onto the centre of each serving plate and top with a crispy potato crusted Norwegian salmon fillet.

Chef's Tips

There are many varieties of potatoes, which can either be categorised as starchy or waxy. Russet potatoes with their starchy white flesh work best for this recipe.

Nutrition Tips

What a good idea! "Sweating", or slow cooking of vegetables with little oil brings out the natural sweetness without adding any sugar. This is a creative way to introduce colourful vegetables into your daily diet.

Salmon infused with jasmine tea, shitake mushroom & ginger jus

Recipe for salmon from Norwegian Seafood Export Council and celebrity chef Karl Dobler from Au Petit Salut

Norwegian salmon infused with jasmine tea, shiitake mushroom & ginger jus

Serves: 4

Approximate Cooking Time: 15 minutes

4 Norwegian salmon fillets (each 200 g), boneless and skin on

1 tbsp (each) light soy sauce, sesame oil and shredded old ginger

300 ml water

3 jasmine teabag

Ginger Jus

1 tbsp (each) sesame oil and vegetable oil

1 tsp shredded old ginger

100 g shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced

120 ml chicken stock

1 tbsp light soy sauce

2 tbsp sliced spring onions

1 tsp butter

Methods

Marinade the Norwegian salmon fillets with light soy sauce, sesame oil and shredded old ginger in a mixing bowl for about 15 minutes.

Heat 300 ml water to a boil in a saucepan. Add in the jasmine teabag and set aside to infuse. Steam the Norwegian salmon fillets skin side up in a prepared steamer for about 4 minutes (for medium doneness). Remove the skins just before serving.

For the ginger jus: Heat the sesame oil and vegetable oil in a frying pan and saut' the shredded old ginger until fragrant, for about 20 seconds. Add in the sliced shiitake mushrooms and deglaze with chicken stock and simmer until sauce has reduced. Add in the light soy sauce and mix well. Off the heat, whisk in butter just before serving and add the sliced spring onions.

Place a steamed Norwegian salmon fillet on the centre of each serving plate and drizzle over the ginger jus.

Chef's Tips

Please ensure that the steamer is big enough to hold all of the Norwegian salmon fillets. The fillets must not touch each other to ensure that all parts of the fillets are cooked evenly.

Nutrition Tips

Mushroom goes well with salmon. Mushrooms contain a natural flavour enhancer called glutamate, a perfect complement with salmon. Creatively put together with steaming and the infusion of aromatic jasmine tea is a great plus towards healthy eating.

Kimono figurines

Well, this is interesting, but expensive. You can order your face for the doll(s). Again, the face of the models here are not beautiful enough :(

This is Yuki and partner (Yuki is wearing Yukata)

Three choices of kimono

The old one suits Yuki's father and the other one I think is meant for groom? (not too sure though)

Figurines for Takuya Tosha

Well, I would explain in more details when I finish writing the supplementary novel of Sakura Bersemi di Yokohama. (No promise when I will finish writing it). Takuya Tosha is Yuki's childhood sweetheart, when both of them did not realize the mutual attaction was there. He is well versed in all sorts of martial arts... from kempo, taekwondo, karate, etc.

Too bad the faces of the figures here are not handsome (later, if this novel is filmed, it should be replaced with a much more handsome man as Takuya-san).

Will be updated: sakura in San Francisco and Cupertino

Greeting from Cupertino, CA. Well, I was not aware that when I arrived here, it was the right time to see cherry blossom until I saw the brochure in a hotel magazine... So over the weekend I went to SF and caught the Cherry Blossom festival - literally it was waaayyy tooo late, sakuranya sudah berdaun, dan tidak banyak. Then the following weekend, I went to Golden Bridge Park - there is a Japanese park - not bad, but please do not compare with the real Japan...
And I went to Cupertino memorial park before the Cupertino Cherry Blossom Festival...

I have transfered the pictures to my laptop, but I am too tired now - dunno why perhaps I feel sad leaving Cupertino and will be flying 19 hours plus back to Singapore tomorrow afternoon... and the weather here is pretty cold, so I feel sleepy almost all the time.

See you in the next posting with pictures. I wish I will be back to Cupertino soon! ^_^
