!±8± How to Cook Salmon - 4 Delicious Methods and Recipes

For many people, seafood represents a love or hate relationship. If you're in the former, oceanic camp, then this article is for you, especially if you're not exactly Emeril in the kitchen.

For example, do you know how to cook salmon? It sounds easy enough, but I know I wasn't sure where to start, so if you aren't either, I'm here to help.

There are many ways one can prepare and cook salmon: baking, grilling, poaching or frying. Each chef has his own special preference in cooking salmon I took some time to review each of these methods. So let's look at recipes that involve all four of these methods.

How to Cook Salmon: 4 Delicious Methods

Salmon Steak (Baked) (Ingredients: Salmon fillets (boned and skinned), Onion powder, Garlic powder, Dried dill, Mayonnaise, Paprika) Instructions: Wash and dry the fillets and spread a thin coat of mayonnaise over. Sprinkle the seasoning over the salmon fillets and keep the paprika for the last. Bake the fillets in a preheated oven set at 375 degrees for 10 to 20 minutes and keep checking for the flakes. Salmon flakes when baked and the flaking is a sign of the fish being well done. Poached Salmon (Ingredients 1 to 1½ pounds salmon fillets, ½ cup dry white wine (a good Sauvignon Blanc), ½ cup water, A few thin slices of yellow onion and/or 1 shallot, peeled and sliced thin, Several sprigs of fresh dill or sprinkle of dried dill, A sprig of fresh parsley, Freshly ground black pepper) Instructions: Put wine, water, dill, parsley and onions in a saute pan, and bring to a simmer on medium heat. Place salmon fillets, skin-side down on the pan. Cover. Cook 5 minutes or to desired done-ness. Do not overcook. Serve sprinkled with freshly ground black pepper. Serves 2-4 people. Pan-fried Salmon (Ingredients: 1 salmon, 1 tsp coriander leaves, chopped 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp mustard seeds, 1/2 avocado, 1/3 red onion, a dash of Tabasco sauce, 1 corn, Spinach leaves, 1/2 tomato) Instructions: Rub coriander, cumin, mustard seeds, salt & pepper on salmon. Panfry skin-side down for a few minutes until crisp, then flip. Mash avocado with red onion and Tabasco sauce, add pepper to taste. Microwave corn with husk (silks removed) for 5 minutes on high. Stand 3 minutes. Place everything on plate and serve with spinach & sliced tomato. Barbecued Salmon with Mango Sauce (Ingredients: 6 salmon fillets (6 ounces each), 1 tablespoon paprika, Salt and pepper, 1 tablespoon ground coriander seeds, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon ground cumin) (Mango Sauce Ingredients: 2 mangoes (skinned and diced), 1 lime (juiced), a good handful of fresh coriander (cilantro), 1 red Chile pepper (chopped)) NOTE: The Chile pepper is optional, but this mango salmon recipe tastes best with the hot & sweet combination. If you don't like hot peppers, please substitute paprika or a milder pepper. It really does taste better with the Chile pepper. Instructions: Mix the spices, brown sugar and salt and pepper in a bowl and rub into the salmon steaks. Use all the mixture. Prepare the mango sauce by grinding the mangoes, lime juice, Chile pepper, and cilantro in a food processor until they are smooth. Cook the salmon steaks for 4-5 minutes on both sides until seared on the outside and almost translucent on the inside. Serve with the mango sauce.

So there you go... simple and easy recipes to enjoy a spread of salmon whether in the baked, poached, fried or grilled form.

Caravan BBQ Survey and Report

!±8± Caravan BBQ Survey and Report

Cooking and eating outdoors is all part of the fun of caravanning and choosing a BBQ for your caravan is an important decision. I was lucky to be away during the warmest week of the year and conducted my own camp site BBQ survey! With nearly everyone cooking outside their caravan or motorhome it was easy to see the advantages and disadvantages of all the different BBQs and grills in action.

One thing that I hate about BBQs is cleaning them afterwards and when you are in the caravan the last thing you need is charcoal dust and soot everywhere and a particularly difficult to clean grill. For this reason, the only choice of fuel as far as I am concerned is gas. Most caravans have a gas supply be it butane or propane and a spare bottle means that you will never forget your fuel supply. Gas BBQs are generally easier to clean and you don't have to worry about charcoal getting damp and being able to light it.

The next must have caravan BBQ attribute is portability. There are some beautiful gas BBQs available but they are generally designed for patio use, not for storage in a caravan! This is where the Cadac Eazi Chef comes into its own for its ability to be quickly assembled and disassembled and stored in its own carry bags. The tough plastic tripod legs quickly detach and pack away with the centre gas stem in one bag and the rest of the unit (main tray, grill plates, BBQ grill etc.) goes into another bag. You now have a flat package that is easy to store in the caravan during transit.

The Cadac Eazi Chef Delux Combo comes with a normal BBQ type grill, a reversible non-stick grill plate and what Cadac call a Skottel which is effectively a giant wok! The grill plate means that you can use the Cadac for normal cooking as well and is great for grilling bacon, steaks and chicken. This means that you don't have to stink out your caravan with cooking fumes. The deluxe has a large dome lid which is quite handy and helps trap a lot of heat and keeps the rain off if the weather takes a turn for the worse. With the pot stand you can also put pans on the Cadac although we generally use the caravan cooker for pots as it means the whole grill is taken up.

Cleaning the Cadac is easy as all the cooking fat and residue is caught by the fat catching pan and the Teflon coated grills are virtually able to be wiped clean. Cadac sell their own proprietary cleaner and a quick spray with this before a normal wash removed even burnt on food.

The Cadac will operate off any regulated gas supply and it weighs around 12kg. The cooking height is 75cm and I find this to be ideal. Overall, the Cadac is a superb BBQ and I thoroughly enjoy cooking with it without thought of a protracted cleaning episode later!

Convert your stove into a powerful barbecue grill. This barbecue grill box is sure to win you over to Camp Chef's savory outdoor flavor. With the patented diffuser plate you don't have to worry about hot spots. The diffuser captures and vaporizes the grease, infusing your food with a rich BBQ flavor. The cast iron grate offers restaurant-quality grilling. It comes with a vented hinged lid and thermometer. While only covering one burner on the DB, DL, DH, EX, and OSD model stoves, it's wide enough for meanest steaks and the biggest fillets. It does, however, take up enough space that no other griddles or grill boxes will fit on the stove. It measures 13.5 X 18 inches.
