OLIVE OIL POACHED SALMON TACOS

Chef Paul is usually busy in the Be Fresh Kitchen cooking up delicious new food that you can find on Spud or at our Be Fresh and Blush Lane Markets. But today he’s sharing a recipe that you can make at home, using the new Be Fresh Organic Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Olive oil poached salmon is deliciously rich and so easy to make! This is the perfect dish for spring and summer to serve up on the patio. If you’re keto or just looking to try out something different, make it with these cauliflower tortillas like we did!

If you do want to make the cauliflower tortillas, prep them the night before. The next day, bake them after you’ve baked the salmon. Short on time? Check out the cauliflower tortillas

Olive Oil Poached Salmon

Roasted Onion and Cilantro Salsa   

  • 100 gr raw red onion, diced

  1. Pull the salmon from the fridge and allow to sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Heat the oven to 225F.
  3. In a shallow pan, place the garlic, cilantro and garlic cloves so it covers the bottom of the pan.
  4. Place the salmon filet over top of the aromatics with some space in between each piece.

  1. Pour the olive oil over top of the fish, ensure the fish is close to being covered. Move the aromatics around if need be.
  2. Place the pan into the oven and cook for approximately 45 minutes to an hour. Depending on how you like your salmon cooked and how thick the salmon is.
  3. Allow to cool in the oil for 15 minutes.
  4. Remove the fish and place onto a cooling rack to let the excess oil drain off.

*If you’re making the cauliflower tortillas, put them in the oven after the salmon

Roasted Onion and Cilantro Salsa   

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. The salsa is best if left to sit for 2 hours before serving.
