Oil Poached Salmon with Tomato Salsa and Dill Cream

 

This dish is one of my most recent success challenges that I have done, as oil poached was a pretty new concept of cooking for me and I was surprise it turn out so well for the first timer. It is a dish request by my mum who went on cruise early this year, she told me about the amazing salmon she had on the cruise was so delicious. For those who had tried to pan-fried or bake a salmon fillet before, you know it always turn out to be hard and dried outside and still not cooked inside.

Red Wine Poached Pear Sorbet with Balsamic Reduction

On my last recipe, I made some Red Wine Poached Pear, which is simple and easy to make. So I was thinking what else can I make base on that and it came up to my mind that  my last sorbet recipe got quite a lot compliment from my mum. So why not try to combine the sorbet with red wine poached pears. In this case, I don’t need to waste the red wine sauce, which I use to poach the pear. Since I have OCD on not wasting any food, as I do not like the idea of wasting food at all. Especially in baking, lot of the time, we probably only need just one particular ingredient such as egg white for macaron, so I always try to use up all the left over ingredients and end up keep baking all the time.
