Recipe from Home #2: Mustard Salmon


Do you like the little drawing I made?  I do!  This recipe arrived from home without a picture, but I'll update it with one once I've given it a spin in the Tastebud Test Kitchen.

Ingredients:

  • Fresh Salmon Fillet
  • Handful of Mustard Seeds (Rye) 
  • 2 Fresh Green Chillies
  • 1 Teaspoon of Colemans Mustard Powder
  • Pinch of Turmeric
  • Mustard Oil - SHOULD BE INDIAN OR BENGALI BRAND, NO OTHER WILL DO
  • 2 Tablespoons of Yoghurt mixed with 2 Tablespoons of Water
  • Sea Salt
Grind mustard seeeds in a pestle and mortar (or coffee grinder) with Colemans mustard powder, salt and turmeric and green chilly.  The result should be paste-like, add a little water if necessary.   Add a few drops of mustard oil.

Baste the Salmon in the mixture and leave for 15 minutes.

Place the Salmon in a Steaming Pan.  Pour yoghurt/water mixture over the fish, drizzle with a little more mustard oil.  Steam for 5 to 6 minutes or until cooked but not dry!

Serve with white rice.  Eat with your hands.

Enjoy!
