Honestly, I don't know who Bobby Flay is. And here's the brief introduction of Bobby Flay by Zoe from Bake for Happy Kids :
Accordingly to Wikipedia and American TV, Bobby Flay is a star. He is a famous American celebrity chef and also the owner of several restaurants: Mesa Grill, Bar Americain, Bobby Flay Steak, Bobby's Burger Palace and Gato. Besides cooking, Bobby is also a popular reality TV personality. He has hosted 13 cooking shows on Food Network and Cooking channel and also appeared as a guest in many programs.
Aha ! Now I know ! .... he is a star ! ... a famous celebrity chef ! ... obviously, I wanna cook like a star ... hee.. hee lol !
Here, I've chosen Salmon with Brown Sugar and Mustard Glaze for their (my girl and my sister in-law) weekend dinner at home.
Recipe adapted from Bobby Flay, below version with slight adjustments made to the quantity and to our taste.
Salmon with Brown Sugar and Mustard Glaze
Serves 2 persons
Ingredients
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
Vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 salmon fillets (about 80 - 95g each)
Directions
Melt the brown sugar, honey and butter in a small saute pan over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat and whisk in the mustard, soy sauce, olive oil and ginger. Let cool.
Preheat grill to medium heat. Brush salmon with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the salmon skin side down on the grill. Coat the flesh of the salmon fillets with the brown sugar mixture. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes to medium doneness, turning once after 3 minutes.
Dinner is ready !
Ha ha ... shuttering picture ... indecisive in placing the knife and fork |
Main Course:
Salmon with Brown Sugar and Mustard Glaze
Side dishes:
Tomatoes & lettuce drizzled in olive oil
Pan-fried potatoes with onions and dried rosemary leaves
Dessert:
Some cut fruits
Girl : yes, very nice !
Mom : how do you compare this dish with the first salmon dish (lemon & almond baked salmon) I cooked for you?
Girl : different taste ... that lemon & almond baked salmon is lemony flavour, full of herbs fragrant too. This mustard glaze salmon taste sweeter but the salmon texture is slightly better ... flaky texture very nice.
Mom : Oh ! meaning ... I've improved in cooking fish ! Well done!
Girl : Salmon cannot be well done, over-cooked not nice.
Mom : I praised myself "Well done" ... not the fish ! Ha ha !^-^
Enjoy & Happy cooking !
