1. Cold Poached Salmon with Ginger Mayonnaise
Cold poached fish, especially salmon, is a classic summer dish. For a refreshing light meal, serve with cucumber salad or cooled, blanched summer vegetables and a fresh baguette from the bakery.
2. Grilled Salmon with Dill and Mustard Seeds
Dill is a favourite seasoning for salmon; here, it's complemented by spicy mustard seeds and cumin. Mayonnaise helps the spices adhere to the salmon, adds moistness and prevents the fish from sticking to the grate.
3. Olive Oil-Poached Salmon with Mint Salsa
Poaching salmon in olive oil makes it fragrant and moist -- and the fish absorbs very little of the oil. Garnish the salmon with fresh mint leaves, if you like. Serve with saffron rice, and peas with pearl onions on the side.
4. Salmon Ribbon Satays
Very pretty and so easy to make! You can prepare these satays up to 8 hours ahead and then quickly cook them as the party progresses.
5. Salmon with Crab Sauce
Salmon is good for both the brain and the heart, the chief centres of love and attraction. And when you smother this fish in a rich sauce of crab, it's fit for the most cherished and honoured lover in your life. Serve with a steamed or sautéed green vegetable.
