Firecracker Salmon

Sriracha sauce and red pepper flakes used to prepare this Firecracker Salmon will provide some fiery flavor that give this salmon its name.So perk up your dinner with this fabulous dish.

Let me cut to the chase here. Because as far as fish goes, this is probably as incredible as you’re going to get. I’m not being biased or anything here, I’m just telling you now you’re going to love this salmon.

I’m beginning to get an unhealthy obsession with anything Sriracha. This is coming from someone who never used to eat spicy anything. And now look at me, I put it on everything.close

Firecracker Salmon

Now you may look at this salmon and because of its color and its name you’re going to think that this salmon really is so hot that you won’t be able to touch it. Well, it is a bit spicy but I added some brown sugar into the marinade to balance off the spiciness with a bit of sweetness. Trust me on this, it works, this marinade is the super hit.

How to Make Firecracker Salmon

You will want to marinate your fish for at least a couple hours. I believe I left mine in there for 2.5 hours and the longer you leave it, the tastier it will be. Then simply bake it for about 15 to 20 minutes, this really depends on the thickness of your salmon, it might take a bit more if thicker.

You can also use salmon fillets if you don’t want a big piece of fish like this, especially if you’re serving it to guests. If you want to grill this salmon, I would recommend putting it on a large aluminum foil that you can fold up around the edges, so that the marinade can sit in there, then you can grill it with foil and all.

How to Serve Firecracker Salmon

I would serve this over some plain steamed rice, or with a side of steamed vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower.

VARIATION

Use other cooker fish, such as trout, salmon trout or kippers in place of salmon.

Fresh Salmon Cooked In Foil

Although Salmon is an oily fish,it dries very easily in cooking so care is needed to keep it moist. Salmon slices known as (cutlets or steaks) can be fried in butter or grilled (broiled).When grilling the fish ,brush it with plenty of melted butter before and during cooking.Slices of salmon about 2.5 cm/1 inch in thickness take approximately 10 minutes to cook by frying or grilling .

If poaching portions of salmon cut out squares of grease proof (waxed) paper (one for each piece of fish).Brush the paper with melted butter if serving the fish hot, or with olive oil if serving cold; the oil prevents a film from forming on the fish.

Place the fish on the paper , top with a little butter or oil,salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.Wrap the paper around the fish and tie it securely.Put into a saucepan with water to cover. Bring the water slowly to the simmering point.

If serving the fish cold : Cover the saucepan ,remove from the heat and allow the fish to stay in the liquid until cold .

If serving the fish hot: Allow the water to simmer for 8 minutes for portions that are 2.5 cm/1 inch thick.When poaching the whole salmon,allow 10 minutes per 450 g/1 lb for a fish weighing up to 2.75 kg/6 lb and 6 minutes per 450 g/1 lb over this weight.

The fish can be cooked in a mixture of white wine or white wine vinegar (its non alcoholic) and fish stock rather than water.Do not cover the whole fish.

Clarified Butter

1.Heat the butter gently in a sauce pan.Remove any foam from the top of the butter as it heats.

2.Allow the butter to stand for 6-7 minutes so the sediment sinks to the bottom of the pan.

3.Strain the warm butter thorough muslin cheese cloth then use.This is also the method to make ghee for curries.

To Bake The Salmon

Wrap the portions of salmon or the whole fish into well buttered or oiled foil.The fish can be flavored with a little salt ,pepper and lemon juice and topped with butter or oil.Cook in the centre of a moderate oven ,180°C/350°F Gas Mark 4 . Allow 30 minutes cooking time for individually wrapped portions of salmon, or a slightly shorter time , i.e 20 to 25 minutes, if serving the fish cold, for it continues to cook as it cools.Allow 15 minutes per 450 g/1 lb for a fish weighing up to 2.75 kg/6 lb and 10 minutes per 450 g/1 lb over this weight.

Serve the fish hot with melted butter flavored with lemon juice, or cold with mayonnaise.

50 Portion

EACH PORTION
2 Fillet

Fry Fillet Of Sole

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS	QUANTITY
Bread Flour Salt Pepper Eggs Milk	2 lb to taste to taste 6 1 qt

Method

1.Season flour.Combine eggs and milk.Mix well.

Step Two To Prepare Fry Fillet Of Sole

Ingredients

Ingredients	Quantities
Bread crumbs or cracker meal	as needed
Sole Fillets (2 oz ea)	100

Method

2. follow breading procedure (recipe given below)

3. Fry fillets in deep fat at 350° to 375° F.,depending on volume until golden brown

4. Drain well on absorbent paper or fine wire rack.

5. Serve with lemon slice and tartar sauce.Garnish with parsley.

Breading Procedures

(1)Place product or products in flour ,coating well.

(2) Remove and shake off excess flour.

(3) Immerse in wash wetting well so that no dry or floured areas are visible.

(4) Remove from wash with as little handling as possible.Heavy or excessive handling may remove part of the paste coating made of the flour and liquid and breading agent will not adhere .

(5) Drain or gently shake off excess wash.

(6) Place in crumbs or breading agent.Cover well before handling Press breading gently but firmly to product for strong adhesion.Cover again with crumbs.

(7) Remove from crumbs;shake off excess breading.The product is now ready for frying.It may however be refrigerated for future use.

When breading in quantity for future service, completed products should be covered lightly with crumbs before refrigerating to reduce sweating or drying out.(Procedure will depend on whether original state of product is moist or dry.)

The same basic steps are taken in breading of nearly all foods.Items such as veal cutlets and chicken breasts may be done singly without loss of time ,provided an adequate breading setup is arranged.

Scallops and other small items may be done in larger quantities, but in small enough volume to ensure complete coating with all breading products.Best results are obtained when a few products are processed at one time.Scallops are handled in a slightly different manner by tossing loosely when in flour and in crumbs in order to coat them evenly.

Flour and crumbs should be sifted when lumpy to prevent lumps from adhering the product to be fried.The egg wash should be strained periodically to remove flour and bread crumbs.

Small quantities of breaded food should be taken from the refrigerator at one time .This reduces the possibility of spoilage in extremely warm weather and keeps most foods firm enough to handle without difficulty.

Foods should not be breaded too far in advance.Moist products tends to sweat.Dry foods tend to become dryer.It often becomes necessary to re bread them ; this may result in excessive breading which detracts from the product.Darker finished products may also result.

Put a spoonful of mixture on half of each pastry round.Moisten the edges of the pastry with water.Fold the pastry to make the patty shape,seal the edges well.

Put the patties into a cool place for about 1 hour before cooking so that the pastry becomes quite firm.Heat the oil or fat to 180°C/350°F (until a cube of bread turns golden brown within 45 seconds).Put in the patties ,reduce the heat at once,so that the pastry does not over brown before being cooked.Fry steadily for 5 to 6 minutes.Lift out and drain on absorbent paper (kitchen towels).Serve hot with lemon slices and parsley.

The frying basket must be heated in the oil or fat to prevent the batter sticking.

Lower the fish into the hot oil or fat and fry steadily for 3 to 6 minutes ,depending upon the thickness of the fish.If frying thicker portion of the fish (i.e cod steaks),then lower the heat very slightly after the initial browning of the batter.

Lift the fish from the oil or fat,hold the frying basket over the fryer or saucepan for a few seconds to allow any surplus oil or fat to drop back,then drain on absorbent paper(kitchen towels).Garnish serve with potato chips,opposite,and ,tartare sauce (recipe given below)
