Rosemary Salmon with Citrus Butter Sauce

♥ It's fish time again! ♥

It's important to include meat in his meal to balance his diet.
And fish is definitely a healthy choice. Bought a slice of salmon and can't wait to share what I do with it! I love the cute little lime I used for garnishing, it looked like a tiny mandarin orange!

*Salmon is good for him, though a little more expensive than other fish, but it's worth to spend!

+ The herbs I used for this dish are also nutritious and acts as remedy! Rosemary is good for our nervous system and ward off sickness while thyme is beneficial for coughs which are related to colds and flu, as well as for asthmatics.

Pan-Grilled Salmon with Herbs

Yay..!

Proud to announce that yesterday I had cooked fish for the first time in my life!

Knowing that my dear darling had huge concerns on his hair, I browse through websites and found that salmon is among the top 10 food with hair nourishing properties.


I added some french beans as an edible side garnishing as it is known to offer cardiovascular protection, lower high blood pressure, promotes a healthy colon, have strong anti-inflammatory effects as well as preventing DNA damage and weakening of bones.


Meanwhile, enoki mushrooms has a protective effect against degenerative diseases like Alzheimers’ and age-related decline in cognitive function.

A recipe of my own, I prepared this dish called

Pan-grilled Salmon with Herbs

Ingredients

Salmon fish (about 3cm thick)

Garlic (sliced)

Shallots (diced)

Pandanus Leaf (Pandan Leaf)

Soy sauce

Green Lime

Thyme, Parsley & Other Herbs

A sprinkle of cornstarch

Sugar & Salt

Side garnishings

French beans

Enoki mushrooms (Velvet shanks)

Carrot (cut thinly)

Instructions

1. Marinate the salmon with some light soy sauce, sugar, salt, cornstarch (a little) lime juice,

    and sprinkle some thyme and parsley on both sides of the fish.

2. Heat a little olive oil in pan and fry some shallots and garlic. Add the pandan leaves.

3. Pan-grill the salmon on the garlic and pandan leaves to get the fragrance in the fish.

4. Be careful when flipping the fish as it flakes easily once cooked.

5. Dish out the fish and place the fried garlic on the fish. 

6. Use the remaining of the marinating sauce earlier and pour into the same pan. It should smell  

    fragrant as there are traces of herbs and juices from the fish. Stir and drizzle the sauce on the

    fish. Set aside. Do not wash the pan.

7. Using the same pan, pan-fry the french beans, carrot and enoki mushrooms.

8. Arrange the vegetables on the fish.

Voila!

There you go - Pan Grilled Salmon with Herbs!
