Pan-Roasted Salmon with Wild Mushrooms

This was more an experiment in using Gordon Ramsay's "curry salt" method of seasoning fish than a real recipe. Gordon Ramsay suggests using "curry salt" to season fish when pan-roasting or frying, because cooking fish quickly like this doesn't give it enough time to take on any colour. Curry salt gives the fish a deliciously appetising, warm golden glow and it doesn't taste of curry at all - it just tasted like perfectly-seasoned fish. I'll be adopting this little tip for all my pan-roasting of fish from now on!

Ingredients

Boneless salmon fillet
Juice of half a lemon
Curry salt (1/3 curry powder to 2/3 salt)
2 varieties of mushroom, whole
One clove of garlic, finely chopped
Splash of balsamic vinegar
Handful of fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped


Recipe

1. Rub the salmon with lemon juice and sprinkle with curry salt.

2. Heat a little olive oil in a hot griddle pan (I love sear marks) to a very high heat, lay the salmon on and bring it down to 2/3 heat. Don't touch it.

3. Heat some olive oil in another pan for the mushrooms. Add the mushrooms to the pan along with the garlic. Toss, add a little balsamic (some white wine would do nicely here too, I think) and season with freshly ground salt and pepper. Bring the heat down.

4. When the salmon is 2/3 cooked the way up (you will be able to see the flesh colour change) flip it over. Again, don't touch it. It should sit there until it is done, which will take another couple of minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish.

5. Scatter the fresh parsley on the mushrooms. Serve with the salmon.

In the picture I also added an onion in with the mushrooms but I don't think they added much. If I had let them caramelise and sweeten for a bit longer though, it could have been quite a tasty combination.

    Good one! Salmon is my favourite fish. Glad to hear that it isn't too affected by the curry flavour. Perhaps some finely chopped capsicum would be nice with the mushrooms?
