Hello everyone, I’m MASA
Today I’d like to share a recipe of
making a warm salmon dish
t’s called (JP) Samon potato guraton
Salmon & Potato Gratin
Autumn is coming! |
It's getting cooler now In Japanese, |
we often call this season as |
(JP) mikaku no aki (the taste of autumn) |
Because we can enjoy various delicious ingredients |
during this period of time |
such as mushroom |
sweet potato |
chestnut |
pumpkin, etc. |
As for seafood in this season |
we have “sanma”, which is mackerel pike |
Another kind of seafood often harvested in fall is |
salmon, which we are about to cook in this video |
Why do we often see salmon in autumn? |
The reason is that a type of salmon is called |
“Aki-sake” (Aki means autumn in Japanese) |
It is a “kai-yu-gyo”, a migratory fish |
In fall, the migratory fish will swim back upstream |
from the sea (to spawn) |
Thus, when we’d like to create autumn atmosphere at the table |
we often choose salmon |
The salmon I'm using today is the kind that |
you can easily buy at a regular supermarket |
It's tasty as well and it is rich in Omega-3 |
which allows you to enjoy the juicy texture |
The recipe is really easy! |
Ok, let's get started (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و |
[Tip] You may cut the salmon fillet(steak) with the skin on |
[Tip] Break it but still hold in certain shape. It gives better texture |
Ok, here is a plate of tempting |
Salmon & Potato Gratin
Ok, I have completed 2 dishes
This combination is my favorite
A salmon potato dish goes with
a bowl of vegetable soup
Alright, let’s dig in
(JP) Dewa Itadakimasu
This salmon is aromatic
and the texture is tender
Salmon contains very high levels of omega-3
a kind of good oil that is healthy to our body
Thus, do not worry if you eat too many fatty fish like salmon
Instead, you’re encouraged to eat more.
For a dish like this, I usually cook with white sauce
The usual way of making white sauce is to add flour
But you can take benefit from potato
and boil it with milk
Boil the sauce until creamy,
hen stir it with other ingredients
By doing so, you can create a flavor
very much like white sauce (even without adding flour)
This is a dish popular not just among adults
but also among little kids
Ok, today’s recipe is really easy
The weather is getting cooler
which announces the coming of autumn
You may observe if any special ingredients
right for this season around you
Make good use of them,
and create your season's special
I hope you all enjoy delicious cuisines of autumn
Thank you！
