IRRational Flox

While eating a bagel at work, I came up with a recipe for a salmon dish, which is best described as a faux lox, which I have cleverly renamed as the IRRational ‘Flox’.

Ingredients:

• Salmon fillets with skin
• Sea Salt/Kosher Salt to taste
• Freshly cracked Pepper to taste
• Honey Almond/Walnut Cream cheese to taste

Instructions:

1. Wash salmon fillets with water and pat dry
2. coat fillets with salt and pepper to taste
3. heat pan with a little oil, and put salmon on the hot surface flesh side down
4. cook for 3-4 minutes, or until a nice crust has developed on the surface of the flesh
5. flip fillets and allow skin to cook till crisp (around 3-4 minutes)
6. slather as much honey almond/walnut cream cheese as you want
7. eat with rice, bagels, or straight up as it is

The creaminess and sweetness are a nice balance to the usually salty and crispy fillets of salmon. Being the cheap person I am, I typically purchase the ‘scrap’ pieces of salmon at 99 ranch, but this recipe works best with the better pieces of salmon. Hope you enjoyed this IRRational recipe!
