Salmon with Mushroom and Broccoli

My fiance's dad bought a Happycall pan and we decided to try making the usual oven-baked fish using the pan. This was the result. I much prefer the baked version but this pan is still a good way to make your pan fried delicacies as it pressure cooks the food and seals the juices in. Here's a look at the oven baked version. I find it more flavourful.

Salmon with Mushroom and Broccoli
 
Ingredients
2 portions of Salmon (really up to you how much you want)
Spice Mix
1-2 tablespoon Olive Oil
Roughly chopped garlic (about 2-3 pieces)
Handful of brown mushrooms. Sliced.
Broccoli
1 tablespoon of Oyster Sauce


Spice Mix:
Lots of ready-made ones in the supermarket.
I recommend:
1. BBQ Steak Spice from NTUC FairPrice Finest (Green cap and label. Comes with a built in mill)
2. Good old black pepper and pinch of salt mix. Throw in some oregano for extra fragrance.


Method:
1. Wash the salmon and pat dry. You can choose to remove the skin or not. I usually keep it on.
2. Mix the olive oil and the spices until you get a nice pasty mix.
3. RUB the spices onto the salmon. Wrap in aluminium foil and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge. Preferably overnight.
4. When ready to cook, remove from the fridge and RUB about 1/4 of the chopped garlic over the fish. Wrap it back in the foil. Set aside to let it "thaw" to room temperature.
5. Prepare the broccoli. Wash and cut the broccoli to bite size.
6. Mix oyster sauce with 2 tbsp of water.
7. Preheat your oven toaster for about 3 - 5 minutes. Once hot, pop the aluminium packet in and baked for 10 minutes with heat from below. Then turn to heat from the top for another 5 minutes. (Special notes below on the use of oven toaster)
8. Check the salmon. Should be pink in the centre but not raw.
9. Turn off the oven but keep the salmon inside to keep warm.
10. Pan fry the garlic. Throw in the mushrooms and the broccoli. When broccoli is almost cooked, throw in the oyster sauce mix. Let the water evaporate a little.
11. Serve with the salmon.


Note on the oven toaster: How long to cook it, really depends on your oven and how thick a slab you have. So, you've got to do a bit of trial and error for this. The timing stated above works well for a piece that is between 1.5 to 2 inches thick. Also, avoid chopping the garlic too finely, as they may char during baking. Ideally, if you are not too lazy, flick off the garlic bits from the salmon. Or if you are lazy like me, you can skip the garlic and just throw in more spice if you are worried about the fishy smell.

Baked version of the vegetable:
Wrap the vegetable in foil.
Drizzle 1 tbsp of water over the vegetable before wrapping it up.
Pop in the oven and bake till cooked. Timing depending on your preference on doneness.
Stir in 1 tsp of butter while the vegetable is hot. Add dash of black pepper or any other preferred spice.
(For a healthier version, skip the butter and just dash on black pepper and oregano. Just as yummy!)
