From Victoria's Kitchen: Fried Salmon and Fried Cod Fish

Serves 4

Ingredients:

Cooking oil  (olive or grape or vegetable oil -- I have also used melted unsalted butter.)

Turmeric

Pinch of sea salt

Dried herbs, such as dill or parsley or basil

Fish seasoning 

Green bell pepper or red bell pepper

Red or white onions for frying flavor

 

Directions:

In a clean cooking pan, drop some oil and let it warm up. While it is getting heated on medium low heat, lay your salmon and cod fish on your cutting board, and start rubbing the turmeric, salt, and fish seasoning to both sides and all areas of the fish.  

When done with marinating the fish with seasonings, slowly place a piece of fish gently in the pan. At this time, you can add some melted butter and let the fish fry using 3 pieces at the same time. After 5 minutes of frying on each side, add the veggies.

 

Each side needs to fry over 8 minutes until perfection. These fish are so fast to fry, and there is no need to overcook them. Now you can also add a pinch of dried dill for garnish on one side of the fish toward the end of frying. The veggies do not need much cooking, as long as they look cooked, we are ok.

Once fried, lay the fish with a spatula gently on a paper towel to extract excessive oils. This dish can be served with white or brown rice, You can cook the rice in a rice cooker, 2 cups of rice and 3 cups of water with some salt and 4 full spoons of oil will give you a nice basmati rice that can make your plate full. 

 

Cooking Hints 

I avoid cooking my fish in olive oil because it does give the fish a bad taste and smell. Butter is the best when it comes to fish. 

 

If you do not have bell peppers at home, you can use other veggies such as cauliflower, fried onions, broccoli, or even slices of carrots anytime to give our dish some color. 

 

Fish is full of Omega 3 fatty acids and is a healthy food to have 2-3 times a week. 

 

I love the aroma of rice. A rice cooker makes a kitchen a real kitchen.
