Hi /ck

Pic related:

Its my hot smoked salmon / avocado on a bed of quinoa or couscous. Has two types of dressing, a cumin/coriander chermoula and a lime juice/chilli mix.

I smoke the salmon myself for about an hour and its soaked in a basic salt water brine 24hours prior. I don't have much experience of smoking fish outside of this dish and I'd like to improve that one day. Perhaps "hot smoked" with some way to create some kind of a crust to it? I'm not sure.

Obviously I don't eat it much but it tastes amazing, its healthy and if I could I'd eat it all the time.

I'm keen to know your favorite dish to eat and serve to people, regardless of cost or time it takes you to make.

Thanks, please make it some day.

Its really very good. The oily nature of the salmon is contrasted by the bite of the lime and the amount of chermoula really adds a lot of depth and complicity to the palate. You never end up with a mouthful plain couscous or quinoa simply because of the number of different flavor combinations...

Its not an easy dish though, doesn't store well and very expensive and unless you source the salmon yourself and can find perfect cheap avocados.

I used to make it for my vegetarian ex gf at Christmas. It was awesome :)

Ever thought about cold smoking it ?
Also vegetarians don't eat meat, that includes fish. Either you or she is retarded

HA! woops... Sorry i neglected to mention she is only a partial vegetarian and still ate seafood.

Cold smoked you say... can honestly say no, I've no idea how to cold smoke or that it even existed. Do you have any tips?

I really wanted to add a crust to the top of the fish or something... not sure if that can be done with a cold smoke? Keen to explore new options though.

a little heavy on the sauce, not sure the avocado was the best choice to go veggie wise, but looks decent

>avocado with an already very fatty fish

sounds fucking awful.

Perhaps... I did double the amount of chermoula because I bought a lot of fish. That photo doesn't really show the height, there is a lot of salmon, avo and couscous under there.

Trust me I served a second bowl of both the chermoula & the lime/chili sauce and people added more to their servings.

What other vegetables would you recommend?

>> No.5815636

>>5815614

Each to their own I guess. I guess you never eat salmon / avo sushi?

I did mention before that the sauces are a nice contrast. I've made this dish a lot over the years and there are never, ever leftovers.

I do recommend you try it one day.

I believe the meal is essentially a take on a Moroccan dish.

Sure you'd prefer it with some starch and less of all the other inherent vitamins and fiber you get with quinoa or couscous.

Have you tried something like this before? It tastes nothing like sushi. Interestingly enough, before I found out /cks opinion I never even related it to sushi.

Its a shame no one is interested in the main flavor (chermoula)

Take or leave it, I fucking love this, its amazing and I hope someone, one day motivated to try it.

Maybe a few fancy other meals that are too tricky / expensive / elaborate for the average /ck to be bothered with...? Was hoping for a thread and maybe stories about dishes we love to dish out and eat but can't be bothered to make for what ever reason.

Fuck mate, I'm not saying that... I'm just saying that imo I dont think adding white rice would add much.

>>5816260

Wow really? Is that really necessary? Please explain why I'm the "hugest cunt out"

Personally I dont give a flying fuck if you like the dish or not, I wanted to know if anyone had some tricky/expensive dishes that they love but cant be bothered making. Go eat a cheeseburger.

An exaggeration. You are trying too hard. Your unrefined palate can't appreciate the real flavors without dumping all kinds of trendy shit all over your food.

Eat a carrot.

You are talking out of your ass. Salmon? Avocado? There is NO resemblance to ANYTHING you would ever find in Morocco. You are a blithering idiot, trying to make your SHIT food sound more "exotic."

You fucking idiot - you've NEVER been to Morocco - or maybe you have on a fucking tour bus.

Sorry, milk drinker - I was talking about Moroccan food, which this garbage doesn't resemble in the least, as dipshit OP claimed.

Maybe if you ever got out of suburbia, you would know this.

You seem to be awfully upset over something you saw on a mongolian finger puppet forum.
