Salmon Masgouf Recipe

Recipe by Dr. Linda Khoshaba

Ingredients:

2 salmon fillets
1 large onion, finely sliced
2 tomatoes, chopped
10-12 pitted olives, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Juice of 1 lime
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp white vinegar
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Directions:

1. Marinate the Salmon:

  • In a small bowl, mix the lime juice, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  • Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let the salmon marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

2.Prepare the Onion and Tomato Mixture:

  • Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  • Add the sliced onion and sauté until it becomes soft and slightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic, curry powder, and cayenne pepper to the pan. Stir for another minute until the spices become fragrant.
  • Stir in the chopped tomatoes and olives. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down and the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3.Cook the Salmon:

  • Push the tomato-onion mixture to the sides of the pan, making space in the center for the salmon fillets.
  • Place the marinated salmon fillets in the center of the pan. Sear the salmon for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and slightly crispy on the edges.
  • As the salmon cooks, spoon some of the tomato-onion mixture over the top of the fillets to keep them moist and flavorful.

4.Serve:

  • Once the salmon is cooked, transfer it to serving plates.
  • Spoon the onion, tomato, and olive mixture over the top of the salmon.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley.

Serve the Salmon Masgouf-inspired dish immediately with a side of rice, bread, or a fresh salad.
