Oven Baked Salmon with Mango Chutney

Welcome back! 
Today, we have another fish recipe! It also combines with the sweet mango chutney for a exquisite combination of flavors. A fun fact about salmon: most Atlantic salmon is farm-raised, with Norway being a major producer, while most Pacific salmon is wild-caught. Our servings of salmon reflect just that, as we had farm-raised Norwegian salmon and wild Alaskan salmon. Both are delicious, though they do have some differences.

Oven Baked Salmon with Mango Chutney


Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

Salmon
  • 4 4-6 ounce salmon filets
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Paprika and/or cayenne
  • Any herbs/pepper flakes/other seasonings
Mango Chutney:
  • 2 golden mangoes
  • Cilantro
  • Lime juice
  • Red onion

Directions:

  1. Dry the salmon with a paper towel.
  2. Shake some salt and pepper, along with any herbs/pepper flakes if you want.
  3. Bake in the oven at 425° for 15 minutes. On our Breville Smart Oven Air on the airfry setting, you only need to bake at 400°. If your piece of salmon is thinner/smaller, you can bake it for a little less time (ours was pretty big).
  4. While that's going on, make the mango chutney. Just chop everything up and mix it together.
The salmon that we had this time (shown at the top) was farm-raised, so its fat content was a little higher. On the other hand, wild caught fish tend to have less fat content and will dry out at these temperatures. To solve this, drizzle some olive oil on top and bake at 350° at 25-30 minutes. Here's a picture of some wild salmon.
As you might be able to tell, salmon is a good pairing with gnocchi, which we will be divulging our preparation methods next!

Banana Chiffon Cake

Welcome back!  Today, we have another recipe for when you want to use some of your extra bananas! Unlike the Banana Bread from last time, this one is basically a chiffon cake that is modified to accommodate for the bananas. It keeps the really light and fluffy texture of the cake while also having the banana flavor, and it also goes nicely with other fresh fruit like shown below.  Banana Chiffon Cake Makes one 9-10" pan Ingredients: For the egg yolk mixture: 7 egg yolks 2 tablespoons sugar 2 medium bananas 80 grams oil 90 grams orange juice 110 grams cake flour 10 grams corn starch 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda For the egg white mixture: 7 egg whites 110 more grams of sugar 1 teaspoon lime/lemon juice Directions: Mix the egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Then, add oil and mix thoroughly. Then, add orange juice and mix. Then, add vanilla extract. Sift the flour along with the baking soda and baking powder and add it in the egg yolk mixture. Gently fold ...

Key Lime Pie

Welcome back!  Today, we have one of my favorite desserts: Key Lime Pie! There's so many things that are great about this dish from the texture to the combination of flavors. Plus, I prefer the flavor of key limes as compared to normal limes, as key limes are tarter and more citrus-y. Now this is a sour dish, so if that's not your thing, then you can cut back on some of the key lime juice and it'll be better. Any way, it's a great dessert! Key Lime Pie Makes a 10" tart pan or 9" pie pan Ingredients: Crust: 2 1/2 cups almond flour 6 tablespoons butter, diced 1/4 cup sugar Pinch of salt If you want to use graham crackers for the crust, use about 1 1/2 cups (150 grams) of crushed graham cracker crumbs (about 10 sheets) along with 5 tablespoons melted butter and mix. Filling: 4 egg yolks* 1 14-ounce can of condensed milk 2/3 cup key lime juice (about 1 pound of key limes should be enough for decorations too) 1 tablespoon key lime zest *If you don't want to use...

Tiramisu

Welcome back to Chez Chefpo!  Today, we've got a classic Italian dessert: Tiramisu! No twists on this one, this is your classic tiramisu that's about as traditional as it gets. In fact, it's truly comparable to the authentic tiramisu that you could find in Italy (more about this below)! While this is not the cheapest recipe, it is actually pretty easy and is definitely worth making because it is veramente delicioso! Tiramisu Makes one 7" by 9" pan Ingredients: Cream: 4 egg yolks 50 grams sugar 16 ounces Mascarpone cheese (preferably room temperature) 200 grams heavy whipping cream 2-3 tablespoons Kahlua* Coffee Mixture: 120 mL cooled espresso (if you don't have this, 2 tablespoons of espresso powder plus 120 mL of hot water will do) 2-3 tablespoons Kahlua* You will also need: 1 package, or about 24, lady fingers Cocoa powder to be dusted onto the top *If you don't have Kahlua, you can just use rum.  Here's a reference for some of the more special ingre...
