A recent dinner hosted by the Norwegian Consul General H. E. Torbjorn Holthe at his residence in Bandra was a revelation in the simple and quick ways salmon could be included in a meal.
Passionate foodie and home cook deputy Consul General Yogi Shergill rustled up a simple meal of Salmon filet with sour cream, red chilies & soya sauce, Grilled Salmon filet with Tandoori marinade and pan fried COD filet.
Vegetarian options included a ceaser salad (Yogi, you need to give me the recipe for it) and aloo gobi. Tandoori marinated Grilled salmon
The evening rolled off with some fine wine and appetisers – smoked salmon on toast with a drop of mayo and mustard. Light, easy and hugely yummy.

The evening was a revelation in more ways than one. I didn’t know that salmon is anadromous. They are born in fresh water, migrate to the oceans and return to fresh water to reproduce. Folklore has it that they return to the same spot where they were born to spawn. Interesting, isn’t it.

The dishes truly captured Norwegian love for their favorite Salmon and the counsel general does hope that we give it some love and attention as we do to our beloved pomfret and mackerel.

Journalist, Writer, Media Consultant, Blogger, Yogini…
Like most journalists I started with the Free Press Journal and went on to work with the Indian Express Group.
However my longest stint was as an Editor and Chief of Bureau with the Images Group where I headed a host of magazines like FNL, Retail, Business of Fashion, Salon International and Food Service International. This is where I spruced up my business writing and specialised in Retail related stories. Somewhere in the middle of all of that, I found time to be a wife and mother.
A little more about me.
RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.
Right now I am living the life of an entrepreneur, one that doesn't involve climbing the corporate ladder, appraisals or retirement plan – instead, paving my own road, learning new things, living fully and taking on new challenges each day.
