Miguel de Icaza ᯅ🍉

I enjoy salmon just everyone else.

But today, I reached peak Salmin love with what I had on the fridge:

Smoked salmon, and pico de gallo made with purple onions, tomato, jalapeño, capers, lime and red vinegar.

And I found a barolo to go with it - I am impressed how good citrusy jalapeño goes with barolo :-)

@Migueldeicaza pairing with barolo is almost like cheating 😅

@indutny Barolo game afterwards - and I was like “I could do this every day!”

@Migueldeicaza Barolo is my favourite redwine. How much is the price for a bottle? In Germany, i pay 18€ per bottle.

@Rheinlaender cheap ones go for 60 usd, average maybe 70

@Migueldeicaza wow, a real high price.
In the end, only the taste matters. 😊

@Migueldeicaza salmon + any salsa = better salsa.

@Migueldeicaza spicy + fatty is such a great combo

@Migueldeicaza As a fellow Mexican I wholeheardtedly agree with calling them "purple onions", but the color-blind English language calls them "red onions". It makes no sense to me.

@oantolin @Migueldeicaza Really? Are they calling "red onion" to the purple onion? I didn't know it...

@the_codifier @Migueldeicaza Yes! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_onion

@Migueldeicaza I really like salmon in different forms: Swedish gravad lax (cured salmon), cold-smoked salmon and also warm-smoked salmon. Cold-smoked and cured salmon are especially great when spread out on buttered rye bread 😌

@Arcticulate one of my favorite versions was cooked in some kind of strawberry sauce - never had the pleasure of having it again. Hoping to find it on a menu before I die

@Migueldeicaza Strawberry? I didn’t expect to hear that, but I can imagine it being a good fit, actually. Was it possibly combined with cured salmon, then, if you remember? Because that one is both sweet and salty, plus it’s slippery like an eel and I can see some texture similarities with strawberries 😌

@Migueldeicaza in Guatemala and other Hispanic countries, we count that as a Ceviche: https://www.midiariodecocina.com/ceviche-de-salmon/

Hay muchas maneras de preparar Ceviche de salmón, pero esta receta en particular queda exquisita.

@rocket ah, but the difference is that I didn’t marinate/cook the salmon on it. I just mixed as I went - so the salmon still tasted/felt smoked

@rocket btw I love ceviche so much! I really need to make it at home more often.

@Migueldeicaza definitely one of my favorite dishes too. One of that recipes that have “simple” ingredients and cooking directions but is hard to master.
