Recipes with salmon from the Norwegian Culinary Institute

The culinary Institute in Stavanger, Norway, may not be so familiar, like similar institutions from France, but if you want to learn all the nuances of cooking fish and seafood, it is possible that it is the best school for this. Daniel Rouge Madsen (Daniel Rouge Madsen), chef-consultant at the Norwegian Culinary Institute , shared with us the secrets of working with the Norwegian salmon.





 

Daniel believes that it is best for the heat treatment of salmon (steaming, frying, grilling, boiling) coming back. "Backless round fish, in this case salmon, is one remarkable feature: the thickness of the whole piece is almost the same, so the fillets should be done evenly and the taste will be unified," — said the chief.

The abdomen is a great base for ceviche and sashimi. If the chef has a desire to use it to heat treatment, it is best to put two back together, put one piece to another. Thus we achieve a uniform thickness across the fillet.

If desired, such a dual fillet you can miss the mark between a prepared gelatin and cook for a couple at 38-40°C. When heat-treated gelatin "glue" the pieces together and the guest will get on the plate is beautiful and impressive filet.

The tail section is best used for stuffing.

As for heat treatment, Daniel Madsen believes that 40°C is the ideal temperature for cooking salmon. In this case, the fish remains juicy and not too dry. Daniel noticed that many guests are not happy, if the flesh inside is ready, served by the fish will remain pink. "Salmon and may be so, there is nothing wrong, of course, if you are confident in the quality of fish".

If the fish is prepared by frying, the skin on it you can leave, making the entire width of the fish fillets in a series of shallow cuts. Otherwise, when frying, the skin will shrink, to decrease, which will cause deformation of the entire piece of fish. In General, it is recommended that the skin be removed only when fighting fish, even the steam treatment does not require removal of fish skin. In addition, it can be removed before serving.

Marinated salmon





In Norway a very popular pickled and salted salmon. The chief explains that fatty fish, particularly salmon, is very well combined with something acidic, hence the use of vinegar and citric acid. The most popular marinade is Gravlax. His base: sugar (40%) and salt (60%). Most frequently they add fresh dill and freshly ground black or white pepper. Of course, the possible variations on the theme: gin and crushed juniper berries, or perhaps rice vinegar.

In a classic performance pieces salmon RUB sugar-salt mixture, sprinkle a fair amount of chopped dill and leave at 2-3°C for 6-8 hours. If marinated whole fillet, it must lie in the marinade for about 2 days. Often after marinating the fish is still smoked.

Daniel came prepared with salmon, he made Gravlax (without dill), pickled in her two-folded along the abdomen, I wrapped the fish in plastic wrap, twisted it tightly and put it in the fridge. Then got, after 5 hours, freed from the film sprinkled with dill, and sliced into portions, the "puck".

On warm toast chef put a scoop of mashed potatoes, whipped with Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar and Cayenne pepper on top of him — salmon and greens and around flavored olive oil, infused roasted garlic.

The result was very easy to prepare, original, and tasty snack.
