6 Salmon dishes to try this Mother's Day

I recall fondly the games my parents and I used to play when we were younger — such as our very own "Salmon says" (derived from the old-school game of "Simon says"). This game was created in a bid to get me to try eating salmon, a fish that's popular for its smooth texture, intense flavours and abundant omega-3 fatty acids. This may sound fishy (no pun intended), but believe it or not, I actually detested salmon back then. How things have changed! Memories aside, here's the widely-loved fish in 6 mouthwatering forms at Kinsa Sushi!

Not all human beings love salmon (myself being one of them some years back) — and this means I could get my hands on larger portions, heh heh!

1. Kinsa Roll — S$14.80

This dish was not only visually gorgeous, it also left my tastebuds crying out for more! This cucumber and avocado maki roll is enclosed in torched salmon and fish roe. The drizzle of creamy mentaiko sauce makes it wondrously flavoursome. All notions of civility and refined dining were abandoned while wolfing this down, oops :/

2. Salmon with Ikura Sushi (Shake Oyako Sushi) — S$13.90 (2pcs)

The texture of the roe is smooth and light on the palate. A little wasabi goes a long way in enhancing the delicate flavours of the roe!

3. Salmon and Roe with Japanese Yam (Shake and Ikura Yamakake) — S$6.90

I was surprised to receive this in a Pilsner shot glass — simply alter the preparation of the salmon and it can be enjoyed as an appetizer or dessert instead of a main. I would recommend that you try this unique concoction before you start on your main.

4. Salmon with Butter (Shake Batayaki) — S$11.90

I guess the saying is true — cook anything with butter and it is sure to taste great. The fresh salmon remained soft, juicy and flavourful — a standard not always easily achieved. This looks like an ideal source of protein for avid fitness buffs!

5. Deep Fried Salmon (Shake Tatsutaage) — S$9.90

If you like potato chips, this could be a healthier alternative for you. Crispy and piquant, these deep fried salmon chunks are perked up with an added zing from the accompanying lemon. The batter is consistent and does not overwhelm the fish.

6. Salmon and Vegetable Hot Pot (Ishikari Nabe) — S$16.90

The Salmon and Vegetable Hot Pot gave off a really homely and cozy vibe. The use of chopped carrots, enoki mushroom and cabbage made the bowl of piping hot soup flavourful and simply gratifying!
