Salmon is rarely seen in our country, and though you’ll find some threadfin salmon in the Philippine market, most of what we have are imports. Although salmon si increasingly becoming popular to Filipinos, they are still pricy to the average incomed people in the country.
Salmon is known for its protein, omega-3 fatty acids and other dietary nutrients, which apparently helps control heart disease, not mention other good benefits form it. Besides providing nutritional benefits, we have become a fan of salmon. My favorite salmon dish is frying lemon-baked salmon leftovers. Millie has a very simple, but tasty recipe for it. Check out her deliciously Fried Dill Salmon recipe. You can also choose to bake her dill salmon.
Ingredients: 2-3 servings
3 slices of filleted salmon
1/2 tsp dried dill
1 tsp garlic powder
salt & pepper to taste
Cooking Preparation:
- Simply rub entire fish with salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried dill. Let it marinate up to 30-45 minutes.
- For frying, place the seasoned fish on a heated skillet. Fry it for about 15 minutes or until the fish looks flaky. Remove from heat and serve this deliciously fried, dill salmon warm, with rice or mashed potato and beans.
- If you choose to bake it, heat the oven to 375F. Place a foil on a baking sheet, put the seasoned salmon on it, then cover it with another foil.
- Place it in the middle oven rack and bake it for 15-25 minutes. Baked salmon appears pinkish and flaky-soft when done. To be sure, use a fork with your mitten to check it the texture. Turn off the oven and take the baked dill salmon out and serve with your desired side dish.
- Side dish suggestion: Rice Pilaf , Green beans, and Mashed Potatoes.
Tip: Do not overcook or overbake salmon. It will not only lose its dietary nutrients but it will taste dry, chalky and therefore, you lose it normal delicious taste.
