烤鮭魚伴炒胡瓜片與番茄莎莎 【時尚雜誌邀稿 (三)】 Baked Salmon with Pan-Fried Courgette and Tomato Salsa【Recipes for Vogue magazine ( 3 )】

鮭魚的美味和所提供的營養價值，早已俘虜了我們的口胃。

We all love salmon; for its taste as well as its nutritional value.

現代家庭每星期的三頓正餐中，用鮭魚做的料理總會巡迴出現。

Not surprisingly, a modern family usually includes salmon in their weekly cooking, eating it at least once or twice a week.

在灑滿夏日豔陽的餐桌上，一塊烤得剛好的鮭魚；躺在一小堆的鮮香炒胡瓜柳片上，伴點酸甜蕃茄青瓜莎莎。

一盅冷飲或半杯白酒；真是美滿不過的組合！

On the dining table on a hot summer's day, a piece of tenderly baked salmon; sitting on a bed of lightly pan-fried courgette slices, served alongside a refreshing tomato and cucumber salsa. 

With a large ice - cold drink or a glass of wine. A perfect combination!

Baked Salmon with Pan-Fried Courgette and Tomato Salsa

• 味醂 Mirin 3 湯匙
• 淺色醬油 ( 生抽 light soy sauce ) 3 湯匙
• 海鹽、鮮磨黑椒各半茶匙

• 3 tbsp Mirin
• 3 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp each of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

番茄青瓜莎莎 ( salsa ) 作法：

• 大碗中加入 2 湯匙白米醋， 1 湯匙橄欖油，1 湯匙黄幼糖，1 湯匙全籽芥末 ( whole grain mustard )；拌勻。番茄青瓜紅洋葱切小粒加進大碗內與醋糖油混合成莎莎 ( salsa )。

For the tomato salsa:

• In a large bowl add 2 tbsp white rice vinegar, 1 tbsp Olive oil, 1 tbsp light brown sugar, 1 tbsp whole grain mustard; mix well together. Dice tomatoes and cucumber into small cube and put into the vinegar dressing; toss well and leave to one side.  

做法：

1. 大碗內所有醃料拌勻，把鮭魚放進醃 5 分鐘。
2. 預熱烤箱至 180C / 350F / Gas 4。烤盤內鋪錫紙，放上烤架，把鱼置烤架上進烤箱烤 10 分鐘；然後取出小心翻轉，輕掃一層碗中餘下的醃料；再放回烤箱烤 10 分鐘左右至剛熟。
3. 期間把番茄莎莎做好。然後用刨菜刀把小胡瓜刨成長薄片。平底不黏鍋中下少許油 (1/2 湯匙)，把胡瓜片放進，加點海鹽黑椒炒軟盛起。
4. 把剩下的碗中醃料倒進一個小鍋內小火煮沸，熄火。魚被烤至剛熟便取出，用一隻乾淨的掃子把煮滾過的醃汁塗在鱼上。( 魚前後大約共烤 20 分鐘 )
5. 大碟上鋪半碟的小胡瓜片，放一塊鮭魚在上。旁邊伴點番茄莎莎。一碟清美的夏日輕食可以上桌了。

Method:

1. Put all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl, mix well and add the fish to marinate for 5 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 180C / 350F / Gas4. Line a baking tray with foil, put on the rack; lay the marinated salmon on the rack, bake for 10 minutes. Then take the fish out from oven, turn over carefully, brush with a layer of the marinade, and put back into the oven to bake for around 10 more minutes until just cooked. 
3. Meanwhile, shave the courgette into long thin strips with a vegetable peeler. Add a little oil ( 1/2 tbsp ) in a non-stick pan, stir-fry the courgette with salt and freshly ground black pepper until soft. Leave to one side.
4. Gently heat up the rest of the marinade in a small sauce pan until boiled, turn off heat. Use a clean brush to apply a layer of the cooked marinade sauce on the fish when they're done. ( cooking time for the salmon is approximately 20 minutes in total )
5. In a large plate, piled up half of it with pan-fried courgette slices, sit a piece of salmon on top.  Following by tomato and cucumber salsa on one side. There you have it, a dish of fresh, lovely and delicious light summer meal is ready.
