Salmon for Summer Entertaining
Posted By Helen Jackson On December 4, 2013 @ 12:08 pm In Features,Loving Food | 9 Comments
At this time of year – called the silly season for good reason – we have loads to do and relatively little time to do it
With end of year activities for work and school along with the pressure of gift shopping and holidays to plan, the thought of hosting a dinner can just about tip the scales.
With that in mind we have for you some very delicious and incredibly simple recipes, perfect for entertaining. Be it a relaxed barbecue or Christmas dinner, a side of salmon is a natural choice. And of course as with all things, it is important to choose a brand that is high in quality and popular with both chefs and home cooks, being Regal Salmon.
A side of salmon looks good, tastes great, goes with a whole pile of different flavour combinations, and best of all, once it is in the oven (or on the barbecue) dinner is cooked in 15 minutes or less, needing little attention from you!
So, all you need now are some new potatoes and a crisp green salad and there you have a splendid dinner.
Pin boning a side of salmon is quite simple. Just run your fingers down the length of the salmon along the centre seam. You won’t find bones towards the tail but will find them as you move towards the head. Simply remove with tweezers or a paring knife against your finger.
Portion size: When choosing a side of salmon work on approximately 175g per person.
Cooking methods and time: A side of salmon cooks in 10-15 minutes in an oven set at 200°C. Ideally it should be cooked on the outside but still pink in the centre but this is a personal preference so adjust cooking times to suit.
To barbecue, cook for 5-7 minutes, skin side down and then turn a cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
