Salmon Oscar
This dish is decadent and delicious that gets prepared for special occasions, especially when you want to impress. It's my spin on a classic dish using salmon (instead of veal). It's easy to prepare and can be completed (start to finish) in about 30 minutes. The trick naturally is using a sauce packet for the béarnaise sauce. However, I would highly recommend making your own at some point, if not for the slight challenge, then to achieve the status / rank of a true cook!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Lightly rinse the salmon under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Brush the salmon with olive oil and top with a dash of the suggested seasonings. Set aside.
- 2
Prepare the side dishes of jasmine rice (or couscous), asparagus, and the béarnaise sauce. For timing purposes, the rice takes the longest.
- 3
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Season the butter with Old Bay seasoning, add the garlic, and sauté the crab meat for two minutes.
- 4
Place the crab meat in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil and set aside.
- 5
In the same pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. When hot, place the salmon fillets (skin side up) in the pan and cook for 6 minutes. Do not disturb.
- 6
Flip the fillets over with a spatula and continue cooking for another 3 minutes.
- 7
Preheat oven broiler.
- 8
If using an oven-proof pan, remove the pan from stove burner and top the fillets with crab meat. [Alternative to using a pan is to use a raised edge baking sheet, lightly greased]
- 9
Set the pan under the broiler (about 4”) for about 90 seconds to lightly brown the crab meat. Remove the pan from the oven and set aside.
- 10
You can either plate the dish individually or serve on a large platter for a group dinner.
- 11
Place the fillets on a bed of rice, along with the asparagus spears, and spoon the béarnaise sauce generously over the top.
- 12
Garnish with lemon slices and enjoy.

Summer Salmon Summer Salmon
At the market, the tomatoes are starting to look pretty good, so I picked up a few. I was in the mood for salmon and got a small tail-end fillet chunk. The salmon set me thinking that dill might work with tomatoes. I'm not sure why I thought to brown the butter, but it makes sense in hindsight. There was an element missing, so I found some Greek yogurt in the fridge and added dill, but it was lacking. Tried salt and pepper. There was a definite improvement, but not quite there. A touch of horseradish sealed the deal. It made sense to use the, "tomato story," bowl I got at Daiso, a Japanese dollar store near my house. Pretty satisfied with the results overall. I'd put it on a menu.

Salmon sarciado Salmon sarciado
Sarciado is one of my favourite ways to enjoy a simply fried piece of salmon. The slight acidic bite helps to cut the oiliness of the fish, while the sweetness keeps you coming back for more. I learned the basics of the recipe from my mum and my aunt. Unlike traditional sarciados, theirs don't feature eggs, so neither does mine. -

Salmon Salad Salmon Salad
So I made Vickys Lemon & Dill Salmon Skewers for dinner last night. They are delicious by the way and I highly recommend trying them!! I bought 4 salmon fillets, about 2 lbs and cut the cubes from the thick center portion of each fillet. This left the thinner edges of each fillet to do something with. So this morning I decided to make a quick salmon salad with the scrap salmon. I even had about 4 cubes of grilled salmon left over from last night that I added in to my flaked salmon. I used all my fresh dill last night so used dried dill weed in the salad, but fresh can certainly be used. Great use of leftovers.I'd add a link to Vicky's amazing recipe, but I don't know how!
