Pan Fried Salmon Recipe

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 07:03:54 +0000

Salmon, another great option to my post July 4th, no-more-meat, diet (for now)! I am well aware that pan frying salmon isn’t at all that healthy, but heck, I didn’t say no-more-oil diet, did I? (You can double-check my comments on lamb kebab recipe and cold soba recipe to see what I’m talking about here.) And besides, this pan fried salmon recipe is totally unique but yet still totally easy.

You’ll be surprised to see that this pan fried salmon recipe has got an Asian kick to it. I got a tip from my mom to use turmeric powder, also known as yellow ginger powder. Turmeric is a kind of South Asian spice that’s usually found in curries, and it’s got a dark yellow color to it. It smells peppery, mustardy and somewhat earthy. You can usually find turmeric at any Asian supermarket. If you do not have or cannot find turmeric, feel free to use other spices that you like.

This pan fried salmon recipe won’t dry out the salmon. On the contrary, the cornstarch coating makes the salmon nice and a bit crusty on the outside, but still moist and juicy on the inside. Also, what’s more Asian to this salmon recipe is the spiced up soy sauce that goes with it. Try them both out!

Lamb Kebab Recipe

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 04:07:56 +0000

It’s July, and I’ve probably already been to a dozen barbecues. No offense to my friends and family, but NO MORE hamburgers and hot dogs please! I need variety. Especially in the summer. So for my July 4th barbecue, I was determined to celebrate the American liberty by freely changing up the all American diet. So I made lamb kebabs. I’d have to say that lamb kebabs are such a nice alternative to hamburgers and hot dogs. You disagree?

My lamb kebab recipe will make you want to make lamb kebabs every time you barbecue. They are easy and fun to make. And you’ll still get to enjoy the sun and the grill. Still American, still 4th of July.

Lamb kebabs

1 pound ground lamb
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cumin
6-8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 mins (to prevent skewers from catching on fire)
1 large tomato, diced
1/2 red onion, sliced
1 cucumber, sliced thinly
olive oil
6-8 pita breads

Yogurt sauce

1 cup plain Greek yogurt
3 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
zest of 1 lime, shaved from skin

Directions

Combine yogurt, mint and lime zest. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
In a large bowl, mix in salt, pepper and cumin into the ground lamb. Mix evenly. Let this sit for 30 minutes or so.
Mold the lamb into a hot dog shape around the top half of the skewers.
Brush the lamb lightly with oil.
Heat grill to medium high.
Cook thoroughly until brown. Remove from grill.
Next grill the onions until they soften. Remove when done.
Lastly, warm the pita breads on the grill.
Remove the lamb from the skewer and slice diagonally.
To serve, spread some yogurt sauce on a pita. Add lamb slices, grilled onions, tomato, and cucumber.
