A good friend and foodie gave me a wonderful birthday present: the new Anova wifi sous vide cooker. Now back home from holidays in beautiful South Africa, I immediately started cooking with my new baby. Like all fish, it is very easy to overcook salmon. That’s why sous vide is such an excellent method for preparing fish. We never ever had better salmon. This flavor-packed fish with its hearty yet delicate taste is so buttery soft and moist inside, yet crisp on the outside. A real taste explosion in your mouth. Salmon works well with many different dishes. Here I served it with two different kinds of Hokkaido on the side: a creamy and slightly spicy Hokkaido puree and a nutty flavorful Hokkaido quinoa.
This is a delicious wrap filled with organic salmon, baby spinach, and avocado, combined with cream cheese, lemon, and cilantro. To add a bit extra flavor, I used my Buckwheat Curry Tortillas with their subtly nutty taste and a hint of curry. This wrap is great as a starter, light lunch or dinner, or to take along in your lunchbox.
Preparing Tartare for a dinner party such as Christmas or New Year’s Eve is a longtime tradition in our house. It’s always a hit when serving it in small bowls together with a nice glass of champagne when welcoming dinner guests, or as a seated starter nicely plated. I have to get creative with the ingredients to surprise my guest over and over again. This time I combined the creamy avocado with the well balanced spiciness of the horseradish and the fresh mild flavor of the spring onions, which goes very well with the fresh salmon tartare.
We love making tartare from salmon or tuna as a starter, especially when we have guests visiting. This time I tried to combine the ingredients of my usual salmon tartare, but with a twist, and it came out very nicely. The crunchy texture of the snow pea and the creamy avocado topped with salmon sashimi and wasabi creme make this a delightful combination.
This is great as an appetizer or together with sushi. The tuna is cut into thin stripes, similar to pasta itself, which blends together very nicely. The sesame and chili garlic flavors combined with textures of raw fish and soba noodles make this a delightful taste experience. You can also combine tuna and salmon together for the dish.
