Spicy salmon with avocado salsa and potato salad in horseradish dressing

Having a bigger amount of salmon at home is just great, you can always take a piece out of the freezer. Although I bought this particular salmon for Christmas, it is almost time so it's not cheating... ;) All of these 3 recipes are very easy and quick to make, perfect for a Sunday lunch. 

Ingredients for the salmon:

• 1fillet of salmon (approx. 10-15 dkgs)
• half a teaspoon of smoked paprika
• half a teaspoon of ground coriander
• half a teaspoon of ground caraway seeds 
• juice of half a lemon or lime
• one teaspoon of soft brown sugar  
• half a teaspoon of chili powder
• salt 

Pour the lemon juice on the salmon fillets and give it a stir, so that the juice covers the entire piece of salmon and let the lemon juice do its job until you prepare the  seasoning. Mix all of the spices with the sugar and then take the fillet and roll it into the spices, so the entire salmon is covered in the lovely spice mixture. Heat a bit of oil in a pan and cook both sides of the salmon for 5 minutes tops, you don't want to dry it out. 

 

Ingredients for the salsa:

• 2 ripe avocados
• a handful of cocktail tomatoes
• juice of half a lemon
• a bit of extra virgin olive oil
• 2 thin spring onions
• salt
• freshly ground pepper

The avocados need to be cut into smaller cubes, the tomatoes into quarters. Slice the onions fine and then add the salt, the lemon juice, the olive oil and the salt and pepper. Give it a good stir and let it rest for a while.

Ingredients for the potato salad.

• 10-12 pieces of small potatoes
• 2.5 dls of sour cream
• two pieces of spring onions
• 1 tablespoon of grated horseradish
• 2 tablespoons of white vine vinegar
• zest of one lemon
• salt, freshly ground pepper

Cook the potatoes in salted water until soft, then drain them and let them cool down. When that's done, you can peel them and cut them in quarters. Add the vinegar and the lemon zest, give it a stir. Meanwhile you can stir the horseradish into the sour cream, slice the onions fine, add the pepper and the salt and in the end mix everything together. Add more salt, if needed
