Uncle Bills Salmon Nuggets Recipes

SALMON NUGGETS WITH SWEET POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. On a large baking tray, toss the sweet potato chips in the oil, add seasoning. Spread them out and bake for 25 mins.
• While the chips cook, prepare the nuggets. Put the cornflakes in a plastic sandwich bag and bash gently with a rolling pin until finely crushed, then tip into a bowl. Beat the egg in another bowl.
• Cut the salmon fillet into chunky nuggets and season. Mix the paprika into the cornflour and sieve over the fish. Toss to coat on all sides. Dip the floured nuggets into the egg, then the crushed cornflakes, pushing them on firmly to help them stick.
• Remove the chips from the oven. Push the chips to the edges of the tray, flipping them over as you do, and place the nuggets in the centre. Cook for 8 mins or until the nuggets are cooked through. Serve with peas and your favourite sauce for dipping.

UNCLE BILL'S SALMON MARINATED IN MAPLE SYRUP AND SOY SAUCE

Steps:

• in a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, maple syrup, orange juice, lime juice, garlic and ginger; mix well.
• Place salmon filets in a casserole dish that is large enough for the filets, skin side down.
• Pour the marinating mixture over the salmon and coat well.
• Turn salmon fillets with the flesh side down, cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in refrigerator from 1 to 3 hours or overnight.
• To speed up the marinate time, prick holes in the salmon with a fork and marinate for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Heat butter and oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
• Place marinated filets flesh side down into the hot pan and sear for 2 minutes or until lightly browned on the flesh side.
• Using an oven proof casserole dish, transfer the salmon and place into the dish, skin side down.
• Pour the pan juices and the marinade over the salmon.
• Sprinkle salmon with dried dill weed.
• Bake in preheated 400 F oven (uncovered) for 5 to 7 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
• The salmon should be firm, but not dry; do not overcook.
• Serve with Apple Chutney spooned over the top if desired or use any favorite sauce of your choice.
• For those who find sweetness overtakes the flavor of salmon, I suggest that you reduce the Maple Syrup to 1/4 cup.
• This recipe can be doubled without any problems.
