Hi all of you, how are you today? I hope that you are in good shape! Well, well, today I am going to share one of our favorites menu in the house: pan fry salmon! But, this time I combine it with something different from before, I call it anchovies broth. Wow, what the taste like, you guess!😉

Talking about salmon, the first time I bought this fish was when I moved to Singapore. Believe me, living in a remote village made me curious about the world outside my world which means my hometown. I had known the word "salmon" but I had never seen it and virtually impossible to saw this particular fish in the tiny village.  However, since I had a big dream, what I had believed was that someday I would able to eat this pink meat fish. For me, impossible is nothing as long I work hard on my dream! As result, nowadays, I think salmon is just like another fish in my eyes same as tuna, mackerel, grouper, et cetera because today I can afford all those fishes.

My favorite style to cook salmon is to bake it in the oven, however, I also love to pan fry salmon with butter. I just love the taste when it fries with butter and garlic. Simple yet tasty, that what I love about my cooking style. Moreover, I would proud to say that using fewer ingredients to cook salmon is the best part about this delectable fish. 

I combine this recipe by making anchovies broth that maybe some of you have already known that anchovy is like represent Malay food. If you come to Singapore and order Nasi Lemak (Malay food), immediately you notice anchovies fish on the plate of Nasi Lemak. This broth that I create is amazing which means has great taste and we love it!😋 So, this set menu is inspired by western and Malay, that is why I call my blog Ichi's Fusion Recipes!😊
