Lemon Myrtle Salmon

[ckreef]

I knew Lemon Myrtle Flakes would be awesome on fish. Served with a broccoli risotto. 

 

For the last 3 or 4 risotto cooks I didn't use any saffron because my family isn't really fond of it. I informed them tonight that the next risotto would be a saffron risotto - why? - because I love saffron and it's my turn.

Ok CK let us in on the details. Lemon myrtle is my favourite indigenous Aussie spice. How did you prepare the salmon?

Very simple preparation. Wet them down with white balsamic vinegar and sprinkle on the Lemon Myrtle. Let them sit for 20 minutes or so. Towards the end of the cook I basted with butter. I did sort of cheat with this cook giving them a few seconds in the broiler just before serving. Gave a better look to the top but didn't really do anything for the cook. 

 

With salmon I normally trim off the thin edge so I have a more uniform thickness. It cooks more evenly  that way. I'll save up a bunch of thin edges and cook them another night. I didn't do that this time but I should have. I thought the filets came out a little dry but Mrs skreef and Hawke did not think so.

I was pretty happy with the way this picture turned out. Ever since I got the new camera I've become a lot more critical of my own pictures.

Good link. Lemon Myrtle tea - not a bad idea. Sounds tasty to go along with a Yakatori meal.

Charles it all looked great, love that little bit of char on the salmon!

Nice indeed. Have some salmon in the freezer that I need to cook up. Used my lemon myrtle for the first time last night in some freekeh, along with the Native Pepper flakes. Citrusy, indeed. Now, to figure out what to use the Bush Tomato on??

Fish looks perfectly cooked.

Haven't done Hasselback spuds in a while, so that might be the ticket. 

Used the same combo - lemon myrtle and pepper flake seasoning on steamed green beans last night, with a little butter - excellent. I put the lemon myrtle in the steaming water. I've put herbs in my steaming water for most veggies for many years now. Trust me, it works.
