HOT SMOKED SALMON WITH AN AMAZING CHILE SALSA



Hot Smoked Salmon with an Amazing Chile Salsa image

I'm really excited about this one. There are 2 processes when it comes to smoking food: "cold smoking," where things like raw fish, meats and cheeses are put into a smoky environment with no heat source, and "hot smoking," which has the added heat source. It gives great results. All you need is an old cookie tin with a lid, a wire rack that fits inside it or a bit of chicken wire and some uncoated sawdust (the type you get for putting in pets' cages). When you put the tin on your heat source, it will act like a kind of oven - don't get nervous if it seems a bit radical to you, because it's so easy. And imagine how impressed your mates will be when you tell them you've hot smoked the food yourself! PS - A word of warning: this will make your house a bit smoky, so either open the windows to get some fresh air through, put the fan on or have a go at doing it outside on your doll.

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Sprig fresh rosemary
Few sprigs fresh sage
2 (7-ounce) wild or organic salmon fillets, skin on
Sea salt
Olive oil
1 to 2 fresh red chiles, deseeded and finely chopped
2 to 3 medium-sized ripe tomatoes, deseeded and diced
1/2 cucumber, peeled and finely diced
1 lime, juiced
2 green onions, trimmed and finely sliced
Small handful fresh cilantro, leaves picked and chopped
1 avocado, pitted, peeled and chopped
Extra-virgin olive oil
Few whole cilantro leaves
1 lime, halved

Steps:

  • Special equipment: wood shavings or chips
  • Get your cookie tin and place a handful or 2 of wood shavings into the tin, followed by your rosemary and sage sprigs. Place your wire rack in the tin, so it sits about halfway down, or bend some chicken wire to fit. Carefully pierce the lid of the tin 5 or 6 times with a screwdriver.
  • Most salmon fillets come around the same size and thickness, so their cooking times are similar. Sprinkle the salmon fillets with salt and rub with a drizzle of olive oil. Then lay them skin side down on top of the wire (this acts like a grill rack) and put the lid on the tin. Place it on the burner, over a medium heat, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. After a couple of minutes it will start to smoke a bit.
  • While the fish is cooking, mix all the salsa ingredients together - you can go as light or as heavy on the chiles as you like.
  • When the fish is ready, turn the heat off and leave it to sit for 3 minutes before opening the tin. This will allow any residual smoke and heat to penetrate the fish. Lift the salmon fillets out and place onto individual serving plates. Spoon over some chille salsa and sprinkle with your whole cilantro leaves. Drizzle over some extra-virgin olive oil and serve with the lime halves and the rest of the salsa in a little bowl. Lovely with some new potatoes and a green salad for lunch.

MOM'S AMAZING SALSA



Mom's Amazing Salsa image

According to mom, she has spent 30 years perfecting this salsa and I agree, it is perfect. Although it sounds crazy she does not recommend doubling this recipe. If you want to double it make 2 separate batches and put them together. We don't know why and know it sounds weird, but it doesn't come out right just doubling the...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 14.5oz can(s) diced tomatoes
1 4oz can(s) diced green chilies
1/2 c diced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 c fresh diced bell pepper (or a slightly heaping teaspoon dried pepper)
1/2 tsp dried basil leaves
1/2 Tbsp (slightly heaping) dried oregano leaves
pinch celery seed
1/4 c chopped fresh cilantro
dash(es) salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Stir together all ingredients and let set for about a half hour. If you like a spicier salsa, add 1/2 of a seeded and finely diced jalapeno pepper.
  • 2. This can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for no more than a week.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, fresh ingredients. This will ensure the best flavor and texture for your salsa. You can use any type of tomatoes you like, but Roma tomatoes are a popular choice because they are firm and have a low water content.
  • Chop the tomatoes and other ingredients evenly. This will help the salsa to have a consistent texture and flavor.
  • Use a sharp knife to chop the ingredients. This will help to prevent the ingredients from becoming bruised or crushed.
  • Add the ingredients to the salsa in stages. This will help to prevent the salsa from becoming too watery.
  • Taste the salsa as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lime juice to taste.
  • Let the salsa chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the salsa with your favorite tortilla chips, tacos, or burritos. You can also use it as a topping for grilled chicken or fish.

Conclusion:

Salsa is a delicious, versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in many different ways. You can use it to add flavor to tacos, burritos, enchiladas, tostadas, and other Mexican dishes; and as a dipping sauce for tortilla chips, vegetables, and grilled meats.
