From @syabritefood on Instagram, a serving suggestion to elevate the simple classic, baked salmon, with a dressing of our fire-roasted tomato and pimiento salad and mussels in escabeche.
Salmon en Papillote (Salmon in Parchment)
Total Time: 20 minutes.
Servings: Sauce can be spread out over as many salmon fillets as you see fit.
Ingredients
- 1 jar Donostia Foods Fire-Roasted Tomato & Pimiento Salad
- salmon fillets
- 1 tin Donostia Foods Mussels in Escabeche
- olive oil
- lemon
- capers
Directions (via @syabritefood)
1. Bake the salmon fillet on parchment with lemon, capers and olive oil, 400 degrees, about 12-15 minutes. Before placing lemon slices on top of salmon loin inside parchment, remove lemon seeds to avoid bitter aftertaste. Add ground black pepper to lemon slice and capers or even a pinch of your favorite chili or Piment d'Espelette.
2. Sauté the tomato and pimiento salad with olive oil over medium heat until tomato and pimento portions melt down to make a thick, chunky and savory sauce. Then, mix with a full tin of mussels in escabeche.
3. Blend the escabeche sauce from the tin of mussels well with the tomato and pimiento, and keep at low heat for two minutes before serving.

+About
One afternoon not that long ago, A.J. Weiss was sitting in a cafe, tapping his pen on an empty note pad, and staring out the window. The prior accumulated years of adventure, heartbreak, and common drudgery had all amounted to this, a particular moment, for reasons both unknown and fairly straightforward. The most straightforward being that he worked at Blue Planet Foods, Ltd., importer of high-quality food products and ingredients, and that he had set forth to complete the task of conjuring a suitable name for the company's new Spanish specialty food brand. After a certain amount of consideration and voluminous list-making, Donostia Foods came to be.
What was the inspiration for this (superb) brand name? Donostia-San Sebastián, a small coastal city in Basque Country in northern Spain, renowned for its restaurants, gastronomic societies, and culinary traditions. A place where locals and visitors alike wander the cobblestones of the old town in the warm evening light, drifting amongst the pintxo bars to sample unparalleled small-bites accompanied by the effervescent local wine, txakoli, and sharing in the laughter that becomes the fondest of memories; a place that exudes good food, good drinks, and a general sense of revelry. All of which is quite enjoyable.
With Donostia Foods we hope to introduce more people in the United States to the gastronomic pleasures of Donostia-San Sebastián and Spain as a whole, with a continually expanding product line of the best examples of the best products we can find and with the conviviality of the place itself.
Thank you for your interest in Donostia Foods, and if there's anything we can do for you, please contact us.
