Description

<p>Yumi shares a bad experience she had with being married.</p><p>(It's food-related, trust me.)</p><br><p>And Simon brings in the New Year with a perfect, easy, and really, really effective way to nail a good piece of salmon or trout.</p><br><p>Bring a small pot of water to the boil. (It needs to fit your pieces of fish.)</p><p>Add a teaspoon of salt and any aromatics that get you excited, eg., a teaspoon of peppercorns, a bayleaf, some garlic. But none of this is essential.</p><p>Turn off the heat then gently lower your salmon pieces into the water. Put the lid back on the pot and leave the fish undisturbed for 11 minutes. (A bigger piece might need 13 mins, a smaller piece might need 9. But 11 is pretty spot-on for a standard piece of fish.</p><p>Carefully scoop the fish out and let it dry on some kitchen paper or a clean tea towel.</p><br><p>Serve with <strong>Simon's Yoggutty Sauce</strong></p><p>Start with 3-4 spoons of thick Greek yoghurt</p><p>stir in some tahini or a spoonful of horseradish, with a big squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
