Salmon Marinated In Ginger And Coriander Food

SALMON MARINATED IN GINGER AND CORIANDER

Steps:

• Slice salmon thinly ( 1/4 inch or less) widthwise, leaving strips about 2 inches long. Place in a mixing bowl.
• Add lime juice, onion, vinegar, oil, coriander, ginger, hot pepper, salt and pepper. Stir gently, and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours. Taste for seasoning before serving (it may need more salt; if so, blend it in thoroughly).
• Line small serving plates with lettuce of your choice, and place a serving of salmon over the lettuce.

BAKED SALMON WITH CORIANDER AND THYME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
• Line a baking dish with parchment paper or foil, large enough to fold over and seal.
• Place the fillets in the middle off the dish and sprinkle with coriander and thyme.
• Grind a little sea salt over the fillets.
• Place one or two lemon slices on each fillet.
• The lemon peel can be a bit strong; if you wish, you can remove the peel with a paring knife before putting the slices on the fillets.
• Fold the parchment paper over the fillets and staple or paper clip, or fold the foil and crimp to seal.
• Bake for about 18 minutes.
• When salmon is done remove to a plate.
• Place a fresh slice of lemon on each fillet and a sprig of fresh thyme, and serve.
• Variations: Add some shrimp and scallops in with the salmon.
• Anoint the salmon with a tablespoon of dry white wine or dry vermouth prior to adding the seasonings.
