Here, Fishy, Fishyy...

Today i learned how to carv, skin, de-bone, a fish!  I carved my fillets with a bass fish. and then grilled a salmon (steak salmon) they came out too good. i luh-luh-love salmon too so i was happy we got to make some.

 This is How the Fishy first looked =[

 ...&& this is how him came out =]

Bass Meuniere with pommes a l'Anglais

i sauteed the fillets in clarified butter. after golden brown on both sides i plated it. melted some butter in a pan with some parsely and a tiny pinch of salt then poured it on top of the fish and just decorated it with a lemon i carved up. yumm

Darne de Saumon au Beurre Blanc with Mousseline de Fenouil

This salmon was toooo good. I marinated first in olive oil, salt, black pepper, thyme, and bay leafs. (the longer the better of course) then i grilled it. so happy it came out good. if you have ever grilled and tried making the beautiful marks, you would know its hard. but i have succeeded!! lol the two lil things on the side is the Mousseline de Fenouil. Basically i boiled some Fennel (with lemon juice and flour just a couple tblspns) until soft. then sliced it up and put it in a pan with a lil butter and fish stock and let it cook some more. once it got mushy and most of the stock was gone we added a lil heavy cream, mushed it all up, then put it in a blender, grinder thing lol so we could speed up the process. oh and added some chopped up dill and a lil salt and pepper. then once it cooled down i shaped it into those things you see above with 2 spoons. the yellow stuff between the salmon is the Beurre Blanc. &&if you remember from the past post Beurre Blanc is just melted butter, lemon juice, minced up onions (or shallots), a lil s&p, then strained and comes out to be that yummy yellow stuff...=]

So happy with the outcome of my food lately. i feel like im progressing, and getting better each day. im actually tryna start getting into learning more about the Profession i want to get into (private chef). i dont want to wait until im close to graduating to start getting experience or networking, the time is NOW....

.....&im ready.

Deuces.
