SAFFRON SALMON KABABS



Saffron Salmon Kababs image

Buttery, saffron-stained and gently spiced, these Iranian kababs come together in no time and make for a beautiful, flavorful meal. The warming spice mix of oregano, coriander, black pepper and turmeric balances and lifts the sweet notes from the saffron and salmon. To keep the fish in place when turning the kababs on the grill, use 1/2-inch-wide flat skewers or two thin, round skewers. You can entertain with these skewers or enjoy them on a quiet weeknight, along with dill rice and a side of fresh herbs, or cucumber, tomato and onion salad.

Categories     seafood, skewers and kebabs, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

About 1 1/2 teaspoons saffron threads (0.35 grams)
Pinch of granulated sugar
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus lime wedges for serving
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, finely grated
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed between your fingers
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 1/2 pounds skinless salmon (preferably center-cut), cut into 1-inch pieces
Fresh herbs, such as mint, cilantro and basil, for serving

Steps:

  • Using a mortar and pestle or small bowl and the handle end of a wooden spoon, grind the saffron with a pinch of sugar to a fine powder (about 1/4 teaspoon). Transfer to a large bowl. Bring 2 tablespoons water to a boil in a saucepan, kettle or using the microwave, then let stand for 2 minutes to allow the water temperature to drop slightly. Add to the ground saffron powder, gently stir, cover and steep for 5 minutes.
  • To the saffron water, add the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, oregano, coriander, pepper and turmeric. Stir to mix, add the salmon pieces and combine until the salmon is well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • As the salmon marinates, prepare a charcoal grill until the coals are ashed over and slightly cooled to medium-hot and or heat a gas grill to medium-high. Skewer the salmon and save any remaining marinade. Grill the skewers, brushing with the remaining marinade and turning every couple of minutes, until tender and buttery, about 10 minutes total. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the fish. Enjoy, with bites of fresh herbs between bites of salmon.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your chowder.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of fish. Salmon is a classic choice, but you could also use cod, halibut, or even shrimp.
  • Be careful not to overcook the fish. Fish is best when it is cooked just until it is opaque in the center.
  • Use a good quality fish stock. This will add a lot of flavor to your chowder.
  • Don't be afraid to add your own personal touches. This could include adding different vegetables, herbs, or spices.

Conclusion:

Nordic salmon chowder with saffron is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover salmon. With its creamy broth, tender fish, and flavorful vegetables, this chowder is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
