We had salmon cutlets for tea last night -- special request by DH, who turned
41 yesterday. I was astonished at the amount of oil that came out. I now
have a frying-pan full of fishy oil. Seems terrible to waste it all. Can
anyone think of something to do with it?

They were served with fried potatoes, asparagus, and carrots and peas (we
didn't want to share the asparagus with the kids!). Dill and sour cream on
the table.

Alas, the cake was only a Michel's Chocolate Tiramisu cake, which I did not
feel came up to expectations. I have had a busy week (which included a
colonoscopy) so could not manage to bake one for him.

I have salmon about twice a week, and they sound like the good quality
ones I get from my local fish shop. (LOVE my local fish shop!)

Couldn't you have used it to fry the potatoes, or would that have been
fishy overkill?

I would be reluctant to keep it for too long, unless someone was to
advise on a good (safe!) way of keeping it.

My fav way of cooking salmon which is simple (it's more difficult to
explain!) and uses practically no ingredients:

Heat a non-stick frying pan (I use Scanpan), wipe some oil in the pan.

Slap salmon fillets skin side down/cutlets in the pan.
Liberally apply craked pepper and Maldon sea salt to the top.
Cook to your liking.
Turn fillets/cutlets and cook to almost done.
Squeeze juice of a whole lemon (or you could try lime) over fish.
Reduce juice to almost evaporated, moving fish around to coat the
bottom.
Turn fish over to warm the juice on the top side. (Juice on
pepper/salt side should have almost "caramelised").
Transfer to plate.
Enjoy!

Ewwww colonoscopy! I had one of those back when you had to drink
[what seemed like] a whole bloody swimming pool of this foul tasting
col-prep stuff. You should use the experience as a "de-tox"!

I hope everything turns out well for you.

You are kidding me???
