Salmon Delight for Two
Written by Ann Pietrangelo on December 8th, 2008 in Linked Articles, Recipes.
One of my favorite meals is salmon. The only problem with that is my husband is not particularly fond of the “fishy” flavor, so I shied away from preparing salmon until I hit on a very simple recipe that he likes. The only problem remaining was that I didn’t particularly like my new recipe because it overpowered the salmon flavor that I love so much.
Since there are only two of us, I finally realized that I could just as easily please us both. While I normally like to bake my salmon, I decided to try cooking the filets in small frying plans on the stovetop. Here’s what I ended up with:
Salmon with Soy Sauce (for him)
1 salmon filet * 1 tsp. olive oil * 1/4 cup soy sauce * 1 clove chopped garlic * freshly ground black pepper * parsley flakes
Place ingredients in frying pan over medium heat, 2-3 minutes per side. The generous dose of soy sauce gives this salmon a powerful punch!
Easy-Does-It Salmon (for her)
1 salmon filet * 2 tsp. olive oil * 1 clove chopped garlic * freshly ground black pepper * parsley flakes
Place ingredients in frying pan over medium heat, 2-3 minutes per side. Leaving out the soy sauce leaves the delicate salmon flavor intact.
The art of compromise wins again. Served with a green vegetable, crisp salad, and a pino grigio, this is a nutritious and delicious dinner for two!
