I present to you my dinner yesterday evening. I never used to like cooked salmon. Only when I tried to prepare it myself did I find out that it was because I don't like the texture it gets when it's well done... too rubbery. So I tend to almost undercook it at home. It stays nice and tender that way.
This was a simple meal, rustled up in about a quarter of an hour. It was actually two meals considering I mashed all the leftovers and fried it into a little Rösti to serve with a fried egg on top for lunch...
one salmon steak (without without skin, according to your preference)
one sweet potato, peeled and thinly sliced
two handful of (frozen) peas
(optional: a little stock)
salt and pepper
lemon juice, to serve
1. Boil your sweet potato in just enough water or stock to cover. This should only take about ten minutes. Add your peas and cover with a lid to let them cook. You can turn the heat off or down to medium while you prepare the fish.
2. Preheat a non stick frying pan on medium to high heat. Season your salmon with salt and pepper and put it into your frying pan. You can add a little oil if you'd like. Fry until you have a golden color. This will take two to three minutes. Flip over carefully and fry on the other side for a further two to three minutes or until done to your liking.
3. Save about half a cup of the liquid you boiled your potatoes and peas in. Pour off the rest. Put the pan back onto your stove for a couple of minutes to dry the vegetables properly. Mash and season. Add some liquid back if needed. Serve with your fish on top and add a squeeze of lemon juice.
Easy as that.
This is what lunch the next day looked like:
