ideas for left over sushi fish

6 years ago

Our grandson is visiting for the day so we did a pick-up from the fish store for sushi fish. I ended up with a bit more then we needed. One wants some variety and if you buy too small an amount, it can be hard to cut good sized pieces from it. So, we have about a half pound of salmon and yellow fin tuna left. It's already cut to small for grilling.

Any ideas for something to do with the remaining salmon and tuna.

You can make salmon croquettes. Here's the recipe I use:

2 cloves garlic; minced
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 dashes Tabasco (or 1 teaspoon Old Bay)
1 egg yolk (or egg white)
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 tablespoons real mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (less if table salt)
fresh ground pepper to taste
2/3 cup coarse white bread crumbs
1 pound fresh salmon
1/2 cup Panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
2 or 3 tablespoons olive oil

In a small bowl, combine garlic, onion, Tabasco, egg, parsley, mayonnaise, salt and pepper; set aside. Remove skin and bones from salmon and cut into small cubes (about 1/2-inch); place in a medium bowl and gently stir in bread crumbs. Gently fold egg mixture into salmon and bread and refrigerate at least 2 hours before shaping into 4 patties.

Carefully coat the outside of each patty with Panko crumbs. Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot and add salmon cakes.
Fry the cakes until brown, about 4 minutes on each side turning only once. Serve with lemon wedges or your favorite tartar sauce.

*May substitute cracker crumbs or bread crumbs for the Panko.

High praise indeed Fish and genuinely appreciated. I struggled for months but couldn't see a crediable way to incorporate the large stump with my current abilities so I've reduced it to a ground level stump. You'll see some of the big branches and height has gone and there's loads of shoots to work with. Need to complete the picture and with the leftward trend a position on the right of a slab has a great deal of appeal. perhaps 20 deg clockwise as well so the trees recede a bit maybe. Going to have to pass on Capel Manor - spousely pressure. (one weekend off in 4 thanks to the NHS and I did all day yesterday at a rugby tournament) I AM determined to go for a "lig" one year though. She'll/I'll have to be content with a few local garden show type things today where there is some bonsai strangely enough:-) ***************** After much though and anguish, I've repotted the, JWP in mid summer - yipes! More out of frustration than anything else. Possibly a big risk with my second most expensive purchase but all the in-depth reading I have been doing (inc. V. Wood in the other place) pursuaded me it was worth a go. I'm keeping a full log of the progress and knowing that you've had some pine "situations" this year my experiences may be of benefit. I have some pics but finding a site big enough to post it inc the commentary is a problem There's also a chap on another forum asking about JWPs and I would ask your permission to post him a Bef and Aft of Big Bertha. I was going to credit you as "up and coming British designer ............" with your name if you're happy for me to do so. Thanks once again. Regards Tim

Actually, I liked the raw fish when I had it in California, but I remind myself that I like raw beef too, some others probably don't. When (if) I catch one of those Lake Michigan salmon I think I'll try that, I'm not comfortable with the commercially available stuff here or with eating our inland lake fish raw. Because salmon are temperature driven, they live in water in the low 30s, just above freezing. That's why they are high in omega 3 fatty acids, it's "anti-freeze" so their flesh doesn't freeze in the cold water. Anyway.... Deborah, I did glaze the orange loaf with a mix of about a cup of fresh orange juice and 1/4 cup of sugar, heated until the sugar dissolved. I poked some holes in the loaf with a skewer and poured the mix over the hot loaf while it was still in the pan. Yummy..... Donna, I'm very adventurous and I always try something I don't care for at least TWICE, just to make sure I wasn't holding my mouth wrong or something. (grin) The nori did come in sheets like that, and was perforated for slicing! I did have to shop for it though, it's not available anywhere close, I got it in Grand Rapids on my way home from the airport. The date shake? I got the "recipe" from the internet, someone in California had a blog, LOL. Being a farm girl, I'd rather go for strawberry, but it wasn't bad. I'll make it again, until I get it "right". There was another recipe that had orange juice too, but that seemed like too many flavors. AM, yours is prettier than mine, I need more colors! Passover sushi, now THAT'S an idea whose time has come. Sol, it was really easy and made a LOT. Of course, how could it not be good, dipped in soy sauce and wasabi? Go for it, I'll bet yours will be prettier than mine too. All this Michigan sushi going on, Aunt Amy would be proud. now, if I could only get the hang of those chopsticks. I can still hear her say "You no good with chopstick. Use fork." Sigh. Shaun, a sushi kit would be a great swap item, I think. After all, we're foodies. Expand our food horizons, LOL. Annie

The most versatile dish I make is my bean dip, and I use it to make migas, tacos, burritos, tortas, and tostados. I usually make a batch of pasta sauce that is good for two or three meals - some of it for pizza, some for lasagna, and some for regular pasta. When I make chili sauce, I use it for many different dishes as well, including Louis salad dressing. I often poach a whole chicken (mainly so that I can get stock), remove the meat from the bones, return the bones and skin to the pot for the stock, and then use the meat for many different dishes, including crÃªpes, enchiladas, tacos, etc., but I've only ever made one pot pie and don't think I will do that again, unless I plan to spice it up with some Indian spices. Otherwise, leftovers are just lunch. I have used leftover broccoli to make quesadillas or empanadas, however, but in general I do not cook enough vegetables to have leftovers. Besides chicken, the only meat I cook that creates leftovers is turkey, which is not that much different from chicken. I do make spice mixes and marinades that get used for a lot of different dishes. My current favorite is made with cilantro, spinach, olive oil, lime juice, salt, and maybe some garlic. Last Saturday I used it on the salmon that I grilled as well as the mushrooms and zucchini that I grilled. I made it mainly for some chicken breasts that I bought on sale. I had six large breasts, and so I cooked two of them after marinating them and then I put the other four into two ziplock bags along with the marinade and froze them. I seem to be more likely to use things from the freezer if they are already in a marinade. Lars

Chop the fish and mix with some crab (or krab), shredded cucumber, tempura flakes, and spicy mayo. Serve in a bowl over a bed of shredded daikon root. It's called a "Ricky Salad" and you will find it on the menu of three different sushi bars in Boca Raton, FL where I lived for 19 years.

It was invented by a Japanese sushi chef named "Dommi" who worked at a sushi bar on Route 46 in Denville, NJ circa 1980. Over the years, as I've moved from place to place and found a regular sushi bar, I taught the chef how to make it and it occasionally found its way onto their menu.

I should note that it's normally made with tuna, but I've had chefs make it with salmon, yellowtail, and mackerel.

Tacos. You might look at Guy Fieri’s recipe, lots of steps and ingredients but good for inspiration.

Ricky - I like the salad story. Let’s see if it hits menus in CO!

foas - If you go into Jaws Sushi in Fort Collins where we live, it's already in their computer and three different chefs know the recipe.

I went with Lars' suggestion of salmon croquettes (in this case, salmon and tuna). I wanted something different than sushi plus I felt that after a day it was better to have the fish in a cooked form.

I couldn't resist putting some of my own spin on the recipe. I put in some grated ginger and some toasted sesame oil. I don't keep a jar of mayonnaise around because we don't use it much so I put in some guacamole (figuring that it would add some of the fat content that mayo contributes) - I also thought about just putting in a whole egg instead. It was only a half pound of fish so I halved most of the ingredients but not the egg white.

We were very pleased with the results.

Next time - tuna ceviche, and fried in CI pan salmon bits to sprinkle over salad.

I was going to suggest salmon cakes/croquettes. Have made those a few times lately. And I add ginger/toasted sesame oil, etc. So good. Made them for the first time just this lockdown having so much Alaskan salmon. A DH favorite.

Nancyofnc, what is a CI pan? I do like ceviche but haven't had tuna. Those do sound like good ideas for next time. I may have to buy extra fish on purpose so I can do that and croquettes.

CI = cast iron. My fav ceviche is with flounder or halibut - salmon would not be on my list for that so therefore - browned bits. You have to love tuna for ceviche because the flavor is pronounced and since I do, it can become ceviche! Leftover fish is always a quandary - you have think outside the box (of sushi), or do as dcarch brilliantly said, "freeze and sushi again".
