Why Salmon Fish Head?
The idea of eating fish heads might turn off some but it’s something that you should try. Especially with salmon where the head is fatty and full of extra-tender meat. Fishbones, brains, cartilage, and fat are nutritious, containing extra-high levels of vitamin A, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, zinc, and calcium. Most people miss out on the joy of eating fish heads and their benefits. Not only is it flavorful but also really cheap since they’re considered as scrap.
How to make Sinigang Na Salmon Sa Miso
You will need two salmon heads for this recipe with gills removed and cut in half. The more traditional approach of cooking this dish is deriving their sourness from native ingredients such as tamarind or santol. But because the process of cooking with these native ingredients is time-consuming and a bit challenging we replace it with store-bought sinigang mix.
In a big pot, saute garlic, onion, ginger, and tomatoes in cooking oil. Mash the tomatoes and throw in the green beans and let it sit until half-cooked. Add the salmon heads and let it cook for 2-3 minutes. Pour in 3 cups of water or more if needed then add two packs of sinigang mix.
I used two different kinds of sinigang mix, one is the original the other is miso flavored. Cover the pot with a lid and let simmer over low to medium heat. Once the green beans are tender, Throw-in the green chillis and cover again to simmer for 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat and serve with steaming rice!
