I actually never had salmon before until I started living here. It's a super delicious fish. I cook it in various ways such as grill, pan fry, roast. This way is similar how my mother cooked fish for us. The taste of fish combines with the lovely smell of the cooked onions, tomatoes and lemons or other vegetables if you prefer. You can serve this with some potatoes or rice.
Serves 2
2 medium size Salmon fillets without skin
200 g of mushrooms - sliced
2 medium size red onions - round sliced
1 medium size tomato - sliced
2-3 slices of lemon
chili powder
salt and pepper
1-2 tablespoons of olive oil
Put about 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick pan and heat it up to medium high. Put the onions in and stir-fry them until they look a little bit pink. In the mean time season your fillets with some salt, pepper and chili powder. When onions are done, push them to the side of the pan and put the salmon fillets in. When the fillets are fried on one side, spread the onions back to the bottom of the pan and turn the fillets on the other side and put them over the onions. Add in the mushrooms right after turning the fillets. Salmon will cook quite quickly in about 10-20 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets you have. 2-3 minutes before you turn off the heat add in the tomato and lemon slices. Add some seasoning to the vegetables as well and enjoy your salmon fillets.
It was originally made with Salmon, but I had only Pangasius fish in my fridge but it still turned out so good that I had to write it here. I love Salmon more than any other fish here, but I thought I will try some other kind this time and that's why I ended up with the Pangasius fillets. I also tried my new and not so thyme-like, lemon thyme herb from my freshly re-done herbs garden. Only because it had a lemon-like smell, I thought it might go with fish. You don't really need to put that if you don't have it, but some fresh dill or even dry dill will go perfectly with the fish. If you need a light summer meal and you have some potatoes, some vegetables at home then try this one. I thought it was a great dish, because it was all-in-one meal. The carbs, veggies and fish baked at the same time without so much preparation beforehand. I love practical dishes for our weekday lunches and I really try to find healthy and simple dishes as much as possible, although I'm not always so successful at that. If you are a mother who has little time to cook, try this. Next time I'll be making this with Salmon. Yummy...
