In Ireland, salmon is one of the finest local products! And people know how to cook it like no other country! The proof is in the Irish roasted salmon. It’s a kind of roasted salmon, marinated beforehand. The result is excellent!
Roasted salmon is particularly tender and melt-in-the-mouth. The salmon is marinated in a mixture of honey, cider vinegar, whiskey, thyme and lemon. The result is an almost candied pavé, which is then baked in the oven.
Many Irish restaurants and pubs offer this dish à la carte. It’s a delight, combining salty/sweet flavors, wonderfully balanced by the cider vinegar.
Irish roasted salmon is one of the great classics of Irish cuisine. Best served with rice or pan-fried vegetables!
