As a prof chef I’d say that fish looks damn good!! Salmon in all forms is amazing. And over rice or risotto is one of my favorites! One of my old head chefs always told us to plate skin side up though so that the moisture underneath didn’t mess with the crispness of the skin, though. I always found that less aesthetic but texture wise damn he was right. All around great work!

Probably echoing comments in here about overcooked veg, but I find that salmon and pickled vegetables go well together. They retain some crunch and have a tang that works well with the rice and protein. You can even steam them to temp and they’ll still taste great.

Im sure you can pickle peas and onions and shallot; but there are also other options like mustard greens.

Alternatively, if you want to stick with onions and peas, a simple ‘steam and sauté’ is all that’s really needed for a relatively simple meal.

Definitely recommend! Ethiopian food is very vegetarian/vegan-friendly, but you’ll see lots of chicken, beef, and lamb on the menu, as well. If you’re new to the cuisine, find a place that offers combo plates (usually 3-4 smaller portions of the veg dishes, and 2-3 smaller portions of the meat dishes) and order one veg and one meat, if you eat meat, combo to split with a pal and have enough leftover to take home. You’ll get a good idea of the flavor palette, and definitely make sure you try a dish that’s flavored with berbere.

Lately I’ve been using an Asian-inspired marinade/sauce for my salmon with sweet red chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic and olive oil. Set the salmon in the marinade for 1-2 hours before cooking (if you have time), sear the salmon in the pan, then heat the remaining marinade and use it as a sauce. It is delish
