Hostel cooking simple recipe: Seafood
Salmon with honey citrus marmalade
Print recipeIngredients
- 6oz salmon filet
- 1 pinch rosemary (chopped)
- 1 pinch thyme (chopped)
- 1 dash sea salt
- dash black pepper
- dash red pepper
- dash orange zest
- dash lemon zest
- 1/2 lemon (squeezed)
- 1/2 juice orange (squeezed)
- 1oz olive oil
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Raw honey (for the marmalade - from here on)
- 1/2 lemon (squeezed)
- 2 oranges (squeezed)
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 pinch rosemary (chopped)
- 1 pinch thyme (chopped)
- salt (to taste)
- pepper (to taste)
- 1 dash red pepper
- 1oz olive oil
- fresh spinach or salad
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| PREPARATION: Wash and pat dry the salmon fillet. To season it, rub the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper on both sides. Sprinkle the dash of red pepper on filet, along with the orange zest, lemon zest, chopped rosemary and thyme as well. To top it off, pour the squeezed juices of the 1/2 lemon and 1/2 orange. Let the fillet sit for about 15 min., while you prep the marmalade. | |
| Step 2 | |
| MARMALADE: Pour olive oil on frying pan. Brown the minced garlic slightly over low heat. Add the rest of the marmalade ingredients and bring to simmer. One simmering, allowed the marmalade to reduce, until it achieves desired thickness. | |
| Step 3 | |
| SALMON: Pour olive oil on pan once again, browning the minced garlic slightly over low. Just before it starts browning, quickly turn the heat up too high. Place the salmon fillet (with skin down) and sear it. Then, turn heat down to medium and flip the fillet, cooking it for 3 min. Flip over again and add marmalade on top. | |
| Step 4 | |
| Serve over fresh spinach or salad. VOILA! | |
