Here’s a new twist on cooking salmon.  Instead of simple grilling or frying, we’ve added some parmesan cheese to the mix for a little sharpened flavor.  The fish was marinated in a lemonade mixture with garlic and Italian seasoning to give it more internal flavor.  The hash brown that are served along as a side also have the extra up-taste of the same parmesan.  There were a few problems getting the cheese to stick to the fish and not the grill so make sure your grill is on the hot side and don’t turn to soon.

Fish:
2 – 3 salmon filets
1 – 12 ounce can pink lemonade
1    teaspoon garlic salt
1   teaspoon Italian Dried Seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
3  tablespoons parmesan cheese

Hash browns:
1/2 package Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash browns (the best)
salt and pepper to taste
3     tablespoons parmesan cheese

In a dish deep enough to hold the salmon filets, add lemonade, garlic salt and Italian Seasoning.  Clean the backside of the salmon and remove any brown Allow to marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator, turning if necessary.  These fish are marinating in a clay baking dishes.   Preheat grill or  oil skillet to cook the fish.

Place the fish on the hot grill or skillet.  Add salt, pepper and parmesan cheese to the side up.  Allow to cook for around 5 minutes on the first side or until the fish no longer is sticking on the grill.  Meanwhile, heat a medium size skillet on medium high and spray with olive oil or Pam.  When warm add 1/2 package of Simply Potatoes Shredded Hashbrowns, salt, pepper and more parmesan cheese.

Carefully turn the fish ensuring that it is not sticking to the grill.  If it appears to be sticking use a sharp edge turner to release the fish from the grill but make sure it has charred in the grill marks before turning.  Watch your potatoes, too and turn occasionally until brown.  Mash the hash browns into the pan with the turner to help them brown more quickly.

Many of you love the traditional English Beer Battered Fish n Chips but it’s just too much breading for my taste. I know, I don’t want to offend those English cooks out there but sorry… I want to taste the fish more than the breading. A light coating for breading cooked up crunchy is more to my liking. In this recipe I used regular Italian spiced bread crumbs and a light coating of unbleached all purpose flour. Since I just learned about Panko Japanese style bread crumbs, maybe I’ll experiment with that this time. This recipe is so simple and I do love fish n chips. Bite by bite, squirt a little lemon on a piece of the fish, add some tarter sauce to my fork and then pick up the bite and pop it into my mouth. Can’t wait until this evening to cook it up!

This recipe was inspired by one of my favorite Big Oven contributors, Sgrishka’s Chicken Milanese.  Fish fillets can be boring sometimes and I wanted to add a little flavor and variety to a typical fish dinner.

Ingredients

2 Salmon fillets 2  medium Eggs
Salt and pepper to taste 1  cup Dry bread crumbs Italian spiced
1  cup All purpose flour; for dredging 1  tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil

Preparation

Spread flour on paper towel or plate. Beat eggs with 1 tablespoon oil in second shallow dish to form a layer for dredging. Spread Italian bread crumbs on paper towel or shallow dish for the last dredging.

Prepare salmon fillets by patting dry any moisture that may be present.  Season each fillet on both sides with salt and pepper.   Bread fillets one a time. Dredge in flour, coating both sides and shaking off the excess. If fillets are firm enough use tongs to dip both sides in egg mixture, letting excess drip back into baking dish to ensure very thin coating.  If fillets are not firm enough you may need to hand dip each dredge.  Dip both sides of fillets in bread crumbs to form the final coating. Place on wire rack set over baking sheet, allow coating to dry for about 5 minutes. If preparing ahead, then refridgerate until ready to cook; around 1 hour max.

Preheat  large nonstick saute pans over high heat, add 2-3 tablespoons olive oil to form an even layer of oil on bottom of pan. Heat until a sprinkle of water sizzles  in pan. Place fillets in pan allowing enough room to form only one layer.  Cook 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crisp.. Flip over and reduce heat to medium.  Cook an addititonal 2-3 minutes until golden brown and fish appears slightly flaky. Drain on rack set over a baking sheet.  Warm plats in microwave for 3-4 minutes and then plate fish on warm plates.  Serve with lemon and tarter if desired.

Fresh oranges in the relish pair to make a savory accompaniment to rich salmon fillets. Serve the citrus relish with any kind of fish, or with shrimp or scallops.  The oranges were picked fresh from my tree yesterday and after peeling half the basket I’d seen enough orange peel to last a lifetime.  Then it came to mind, lets just peel a couple more choice oranges and make my Citrus Baked Salmon with Orange Relish.  My only mistake with this thought that the recipe is for four servings and there were only two servings of salmon to prepare.  After putting all of the spice rub on the salmon it came to mind that this looked like a little overkill.  After taking the fish from the oven it was obvious that there was too much spice rub.  A good portion of the rub was scraped off and the fish was then edible.  Too much Paprika had made it over powering.  So with that said, it is suggested to make sure to watch your portions and to always add spice rub according to the amount of meat spice.  The pictures that have been added are from when the recipe was originally made and posted on BigOven.com

Ingredients

Marinade: Orange Relish:
1/4 cup Orange juice    2 oranges seedless
2  tablespoons Olive oil 1/2 teaspoon Orange zest fresh
