Want to impress a girl i've been seeing for a few weeks, what should i do with these?

on a more serious note, the picture of the cooked salmon on the packet is completely raw.

Its cooked rare

Make the best meal you've ever made, and lament that Chad and a box of Chinese will always win over your work.

>rice
>bland
Only if you cook it bland. Try using this stuff called "seasoning".

Coat salmon in equal parts sugar and salt, let stand for ~10 minutes. You'll notice a bunch of moisture gets pulled out, which is a good thing. Rinse your fish off in cool water, and pat dry.

Lightly salt prawns.

Get a pan big enough to fit both portions of salmon and get that fucker hot, at which point you pour in enough canola oil to generously cover the bottom of the pan. Salmon goes into the pan, drop the heat a bit. Keep the salmon moving in the oil for the first couple seconds, then let them caramelize. Once you have a nice sear going, pull the pan off the heat, flip the salmon, and drain the oil. The residual heat from the pan will finish cooking the salmon.

While your salmon is searing get a second pan hot, pour in some olive oil, and season your prawns. Sear each side of the prawns on high heat, so as not to overcook them. Once you've turned your prawns and are searing the other sides, throw in a little minced garlic, chillies and cook those out (you can generally do this off the flame, again using the pan's residual heat). Softer herbs (basil, parsley) and citrus zest can be added now. Deglaze with some white wine, add a splash of chicken stock, and reduce. Take off the heat and melt in a knob of butter.

Taste it.

Why the fuck would you buy skinless salmon OP? You're going to have a hard time cooking it without it turning dry

>putting sugar on salmon
what is it with americans and their sweet tooth?

Come on man, stop. You're embarassing yourself, as well embarrassing me.

You're embarassing me in front of my best friends.

Shes a quiet malay uni student and shes cooked for me atleast 3 times, whenever shes been at my place i've always ordered pizza or chinese. If i wanted to fuck her for one night i would have stopped talking to her 4 weeks ago. Time to step up my game.

I was watching a Scandinavian cooking show recently, and the guy cooking did the same thing.

I think it's pretty common. You just dislike Americans and let it make you ignorant.

You're using it to balance the salt, and are performing a sort of speed curing on the salmon. This helps prevent the release of coagulated proteins in the finished product, and makes your salmon tastier, both by seasoning the fish and removing excess moisture. I recommended this to OP because his salmon does not look to be especially top notch, and this will make it (for lack of a better description) more "salmony." I'm sorry if you have no idea what you're talking about.

Thanks for the informative post, i have all this stuff in my place already

The actual cooking should only take you like 6 minutes, including the resting of your salmon. They key is to have everything chopped/ portioned/ in easy reach ahead of time so that you can just go at it when you're cooking.

I'd probably do risotto or linguine with it. Bitches love risotto or linguine.

make fried rice, dice up the prawns and put them in the fried rice
bake the salmon skin side up under the broiler it'll turn into fish skin crackling and have the texture of thin paper
top the rice with a salmon portion each

Prawns - oil, garlic and chili
panfry for until color, season with salt / pepper
roast some toast, add prawns

salmon - get tinfoil, get spinanch, get whitewine, get carrots and some leak
rip the tinfoil a new one, put some spinanch on the bottom, add salmon on top, fineslice the carrots and leak, add wine. seal the tinfoil package into ze oven

that's so fake and weird to have a picture of meat on a package of meat. stupid Brits

Heres what you wanted ---> (you)

That's 'go style.

>Pan fry for 8-10 minutes.

Do americans need instructions even for fucking raw salmon?

He is strayan

American here.

A lot of us do. Most people don't care about cooking, which isn't an American thing, it's a Western thing.

Can I get a (You) also senpai?

have you thought about cookin them for food?

I like shoving salmon in a girls puss as much as the next guy but it's also good for consumption!

DELETE THIS

Give them to her and tell her to cook you dinner. If she walks out, then she was going to be useless anyway, probably wouldn't clean either or bother to help raise your children.

BORING
Coat shrimp in a beer batter or flour-egg-panko and serve as an appetizer with fresh herb mayo or tartar sauce
Lay puff pastry out. Prepare a pesto and season the salmon with salt and pepper. Place one seasoned filet on top of the pastry, spread pesto on top of the filet, and repeat. Wrap the salmon stack in the puff pastry, and remove excess. Cover in egg, score, and sprinkle coarse salt on top. Serve with roasted veg

Or make it the easy way like pic related, but it's not as impressive

Throw them on the barbie?

Maximum overpleb.

Have you ever seen a thin woman up close?

That's not a British packet. fool

>Want to impress a girl i've been seeing for a few weeks,
sorry a basic salmon en croute is too hard for you. maybe you should try a different board

If you want a romantic evening and are still in the early dating phase, I'd recommend avoiding fish especially if she's staying the night.
