I was perusing the internet for a recipe that had salmon and shiso in it. I only found one and although it looked good it was too fussy for what I wanted to do. So, I used the ingredients that it called for but used a different amount and method of cooking. The original recipe is here. I will give you my recipe which is easier.
I started off by chiffonading the shiso. It looked really cool after I did that. Sort of like Fiddleheads.
Whirred it all up in my bullet (oh, wait till you see the bullet like machine I bought at the H Mart today. It is really cool looking and it was on sale for 25.00).
Spread the goo on the salmon and grill.
Voila! Weeknight dinner.
Shiso Rub for Salmon
1 Side of Salmon
Handful of Shiso leaves; chiffonade
Minced orange peel from 1 orange
Juice from 1/2 an orange
Salt and pepper
1 tb Ancho powder
1 Tbl Olive oil
2 tb Butter
1. Mix everything but the salmon in a food processor or bullet.
2. Spread on the salmon
3. Grill
So it was good but I dunno if I would make it again.
Janis this is some gorgeous salmon...also happens to be my favorite fish:) I have never used Shiso but will have to check it out:)
ReplyDeletethis looks great! I love the flavor of shiso leaf and have not seen any around here. I used to be able to get it all the time in LA..alas! If I ever find any I'll know what to do with it.
ReplyDeleteI adore shiso leaves. I only know them as a sushi roll paired with plum paste, but I can imagine they add wonderful flavor here. Complimenti!
ReplyDeleteI have one of those little bullet machines, too! They're such a lifesaver when I don't want to bother with the blender.
ReplyDeleteShiso, aka kkaenip, aka beefsteak leaves are easy to grow. http://rareseeds.com/ sells them.
ReplyDeleteHey Tamar I grew these in my garden. It grows like a weed!
ReplyDeleteNever in a million years would have thought of this. I am in love with Shiso and over salmon. Yummy. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful. I have a bullet (the real deal) and can't live without it! Thanks for sharing your version of the recipe. It does look easy!
ReplyDeleteI've never used shiso and have always been curious about it. This looks easy and accessible, thanks! I've also been curious about magic bullet...
