In my family, I have two brothers with
celiac’s disease and cannot eat anything with gluten. Today, I will introduce a
recipe with very few ingredients, but it is so delicious. It is pan-fried
salmon with garlic and butter. I like to use clarified butter for this recipe
because clarified butter has less fat. I follow some studies about clarified butter
or Indian cooking called Ghee. It can be bought now in many supermarkets in
Ingredients:
2- 6 oz salmon fillet
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbs oil (your choice)
Sauce ingredients:
1 tbs soy sauce
2 tsp honey
2 tbs Ghee (1 tbs butter)
Cilantro for garnish or fresh parsley
1 tbs lemon or lime juice
Directions:
Dry the salmon at the room temperature.
Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Let marinate for 1 hour.
Combine the sauce ingredients and set aside.
In a nonstick pan, heat oil until hot. Flip
and sear both sides until the outside is crispy about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove
from pan.
Add Ghee and garlic to the pan. Cook for 1
minute and add the sauce. Add salmon back to the pan; spoon the sauce over the
salmon and cook until the sauce has thickened.
Pour the lemon juice and sprinkle the
cilantro.
Serve hot with cooked rice.
Recipe for making Ghee:
Remember to start with the best ingredients
possible by using unsalted, organic butter.
Add about a pound of butter to a small pot
and cook on low heat. Once the butter is melted and it starts to simmer, you’ll
notice the ghee separates into three layers.
Foam forms on the top and it’ll sputter a
bit, which is the water evaporating. Skim that off with a spoon (you’ll have to
do this several times). As the ghee continues to cook, that foam turns into
clear bubbles and the middle layer becomes translucent. You should also start
to see the milk solid sludge sticking to the bottom of the pot.
After 25-30 minutes, your ghee should be done. Turn off the heat and let it cool for a couple minutes, then strain it into a glass storage container.
The ghee will become opaque and light yellow as
it cools.
Tips: you can add more ghee if you like, and
the garlic can be sliced or roughly chopped.
