I want to try and make my own this year, that's on my list.<br /><br />I also love salmon that's been coated in a few delicious herbs or spices, then seared on all sides, but leaving the inside raw. Served with a light Asian-inspired dressing, it's just so good. Peter Gordon did a dish like this at a blogger event I went to, was super smashing.<br /><br />Of course, grilled fresh salmon fillets also good, with maybe a lemony beurre blanc? Mmm!Kaveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16662875905365870280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454805966928474735.post-77394718693520984522012-01-20T15:13:04.129+00:002012-01-20T15:13:04.129+00:00I envy your deep frying skills there!

I know that I always talk about <i>freestyling</i> cooking but everyone should have a digital thermometer, or three, in their kitchen.<br /><br />I use my ones for baking, roasting, smoking and should hopefully soon be using them for jam and marmalade making.<br /><br />As for the deep fried food - I just love it. You posting this have made me realise that is has been ages since I last made one of my favourite deep-fried dishes. <br /><br />Battered monkfish that is deep fried and then served with a homemade salsa in soft tacos. Hits the spot every time for me.<br /><br />Thanks for making me remember this dish! :)<br /><br />// MikeSwedish Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411318722246919493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454805966928474735.post-35460429655198695192012-01-20T11:46:20.792+00:002012-01-20T11:46:20.792+00:00Pa Blonde makes a mean salmon kulebyaka - salmon w...Pa Blonde makes a mean salmon kulebyaka - salmon with dill, rice, mushrooms and boiled eggs in puff pastry.
