Ingredient Challenges: New Latin Cuisine: A Taste Of Chile
Chile is one of the world's largest producers of salmon--it is said to second only Norway. Salmon usually is prepared as part of a baked dish, or it can be marinated in any number of ways. One recipe calls for the liquid to be made up of green peppers, mayonnaise, tabasco sauce, salt and pepper, mashed avocados and heavy cream. Many times, lime juice, garlic, red peppers and onions also are used.
Another popular Chilean presentation of seafood is a platter of fresh items containing large prawns (jumbo shrimp), mussels, scallops, oysters and clams, served with salsa. The salsa may consist of freshly chopped cilantro, parsley, green chili pepper, lime juice, olive oil and salt.
