Salt and Pepper the Salmon then Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the top of the filet.

Shred the horseradish root with a cheese grater like the consistancy of hashbrowns.

Dredge the filet in the root until the top is fully covered.

Bake it at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes (that should give you a MR to medium filet.)

This is where I suck! I'm all about "about"

In a sauce pan, simmer about a half a cup of soy sauce, add about 2 teaspoons of prepared wasabi and about a half teaspoon of brown sugar. Simmer it until it gets thicker (like tabasco) add some flour or starch if you need to (I prefer flour).

Drizzle over the finished filet. A little ginger is a nice compliment.

Wow, just tried it.


Tremendous flavor. The only Salmon I have ever liked before that was wood, well cedar smoked.

I think I just experienced Culinary multiples........

I know this is may be a weird request. I have been asked to prepare a pork tenderloin with no salt or oil but with plenty of flavor (and worst of all not spicy). Any ideas anyone?

Behr, you out there?

Whole Tenderloin?

Why no oil? Allergies?

I have several ideas, but if it's an allergy issue you'll have to be careful. From my experience, there are alot of people now days that have serious allergic reactions to a lot of different things and some that just like to be difficult and draw attention.

Several tenderloins probably around 2 lb each. No allergies. I prob could get away with a little oil. Several people that are there are on some sort of "diet" that calls for things low in sodium and suggest not using oil. They want me to prepare the pork. No salt and little to no heat doesn't sound very appealing to me. I bought a tenderloin yesterday to experiment with one day next week.

Damn Sodium.

My first thought would be to stuff it with a Mango and pineapple salsa, a little cilantro, red onion, garlic and coconut juice (all fresh of course) and glaze it with honey.

Would I "butterfly" it to stuff it then tie it up? They want me to smoke them. I was thinking about throwing them on a hot grill or pan searing them first.:dunno: I've never cooked with coconut juice before.

People like that piss me off as bad as these MF fleas :) They want all the flavor, but "don't use this and don't use that".

Yes, butterfly it and tie it. I suggest the coconut milk as an alternative for heavy cream. It will add flavor, thin the salsa as well as help hold it all together and has less sodium.

You could sear it with olive oil and then smoke it. Don't be afraid of olive oil, it has almost zero sodium (per serving).

Another idea I had, especially if you are going to smoke it.

Stuff it with Chopped apples, shredded carrots, chopped onions and some of those pecans (chopped) that you had left from the Pineapple salad. Glaze it with Apricot or Lingonberry preserves.

I agree Behr. It's like trying to make chicken salad out of chicken shat. No salt with pork doesn't sound good to me. My wife and Nat will be the testers next week. Thanks for the ideas. I think I'm gonna go with the first one. I'll let you know how it turns out.

IMO. Anything with an olive oil base and useing fresh Herbs and veggies. Whatever flavors you like.

Olive oil
Shredded onion
Chopped Garlic
Fresh Basil
Cracked Peppercorn
Red Wine Vinegar

That's one I use often at home because of ingredients are ususally something I have. It's nothing special, but almost sodium free and very tasty. You could add or substitute with Oregeno, Rosemary, Parsely, Lemongrass, Kaffir (which is better in a sauce, but would work in certain circumstances), Shallots, Scallions, Bay leaf.......

I'll stop rambling. Olive oil and Red wine or Balsamic Vinegar (which has more sodium but still low) and whatever fresh veggie and herb combination you can think of.

Remember though, even if you marinated an 8oz chicken breast in soy sauce (half a cup 1000 mg) it would only absorb about half a teaspoon (20 mg).

My favorite Nutrition website Nutrition facts, calories in food, labels, nutritional information and analysis – NutritionData.com use the search boxes in the top right corner.

I deal with those people everyday.

As far as the idea, I tried to think of ingredients you already had or could easily find and were used to working with. I have no doubt it will turn out to your/their liking. You might think about a sprinkle of sesame seed also. Give Nat a hug from the Behr. Oh wait, don't do that....I don't want anyone thinking I'm trying to impress her. :banghead2:

I like it. Pretty close to all my ingredients. I usually put in a pinch of sugar. I love the coarse salt. All I use for anything is sea salt. The good stuff from Europe. I've never added cucumbers, but that sounds like a nice touch. Three must ingredients for me in a lot of things like this is cilantro, lime juice, and cumin. I love red onions but I usually use fresh green onions along with about half of the stem.
