Grilled White Asparagus with Melva (Frigate Mackerel)

This dish is ideal for a tasty, healthy snack. Needless to say, the ingredients must be of high quality so that both flavour and texture are at the desired level. Here we go.

We need some white asparagus, canned frigate mackerel (melva) in olive oil, two cloves of garlic, a hot pepper, extra virgin olive oil, a teaspoon of sherry vinegar and salt.

First, cut the garlic into slices and the hot pepper into small pieces and fry in a small frying pan with a little olive oil. When they are fried, remove the garlic and hot pepper and place them on absorbent paper. In another larger frying pan, fry the asparagus on the griddle with a little extra virgin olive oil until done.

Finally, add the vinegar to the oil in which the garlic and hot pepper have been cooked and add a little salt. Mix well while it heats up. Let's plate the dish.

Place the asparagus on the plate and add the fried garlic and hot pepper. Pour the vinegar mixture very hot and place the frigate mackerel on top. 

Enjoy the intense flavour.

Orange Glazed Salmon

Image
This is an exquisite fish dish originally from Mediterranean cuisine. It is a fusion of sweet and citrus flavours that results in a delightful dish.  It is essential to have good quality fresh salmon. Remove all the bones from the salmon loin and cut it into three slices. We use the juice of three high quality oranges . Once the boneless pieces of salmon have been cut, place them in a frying pan without oil, first with the skin side in contact with the pan. Add a little salt to the salmon pieces. When the salmon changes colour, turn it over so that the skinless side is toasted. Now add the orange juice, a little dill and leave to cook until the juice is reduced.  Remove the salmon pieces and serve with the orange and dill sauce.  Enjoy the result.

Atún encebollado (Tuna with Onions)

Image
Andalusian recipe par excellence. It requires high-quality tuna.  Cut the tuna into bite-sized pieces. Cut the onion and garlic into very thin slices.   Now put olive oil in a pot and cook over medium heat and fry the onion and garlic together with a bay leaf. Add oregano, salt and paprika. Stir so that the paprika does not overheat and add a little vinegar and fish stock. Cook over a medium heat until the onion is poached. Add the salted tuna. Cover the stew and leave to cook for a few minutes.   All that remains is to enjoy this delicacy with its sauce. Tuna with Onions

Corvina (seabass) a la Roteña

Image
The sauce, known as roteña because of its origin in the southern Spanish coastal town of Rota, is a combination of several vegetables that adapts to a wide variety of fish. We will make it today to be served with seabass (corvina) loins, and the result will be amazing (see photo). First we make the roteña sauce. To do this, cut a couple of onions into julienne strips, a green and a red pepper, chop some garlic and gently fry everything in a frying pan with olive oil. Next, dice the tomatoes and add them to the sauce along with two bay leaves. Add salt and pepper to the vegetables. When the vegetables are ready, add half a glass of manzanilla wine and allow the alcohol to reduce. The sauce is now ready. Place the roteña sauce on a baking tray and put the seabass loins cut into four pieces on top with a little salt. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for about 10 minutes so that the fish is juicy. Serve the fish with the roteña sauce. Corvina (seabass) a la Roteña
