Salmon With Tequila Cream Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• On top of a layer of aluminum foil and plastic wrap (enough to make a pouch), put the salmon on a baking sheet skin-side down. Pat the top dry with paper towels. Combine the coriander, mustard and cumin seeds in a small saute pan over low heat and toast, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove, let cool slightly and coarsely grind in a coffee grinder.

Combine the salt and brown sugar in a bowl, drizzle with the tequila and then spread evenly over the salmon. Tightly wrap the salmon in the plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Place another baking sheet on top of the salmon and weigh down with bricks wrapped in foil or a heavy cutting board. Refrigerate for 48 hours.
• Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and scrape off the curing ingredients. When cured, the fish should have a raw appearance and a firm but not hard texture. Slice the salmon against the grain paper thin and serve with accompaniments of choice.

Cook for 10 minutes, until the stock starts to reduce. Remove the chilies from the bag and peel off the skins, slit and scrape out the seeds. 3. Stir the cream into the onion and stock mixture. Slice the chili flesh into strips and add to the pan. Cook over a gentle heat, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and white pepper. 4.

Brush the salmon fillets on one side with a little of the remaining oil. 5.Heat a frying pan or ridged grill pan until very hot and add the salmon, oiled side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the underside is golden, then brush the top with oil, turn each fillet over and cook the other side until the fish is cooked and flakes easily when tested with the tip of a sharp knife. 6.
