Salmon goes ethnic (advert)

Most cooks would perhaps acknowledge that salmon pairs with almost anything. Yes, even with raita – just cucumber and yoghurt. One could grill the moist fish, high in beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids beneficial to health, with even a sprinkling of curry powder, and it would taste just fine.

For those used to tucking into salmon at sushi restaurants around Hong Kong, a Norwegian salmon fest is offering the chance to sample the fish in a variety of cuisine. Until next Friday, 10 fine dining restaurants are offering a special salmon menu highlighting their ethnic cuisines.

Ashild Nakken, the director of Norwegian Seafood Export Council, points out that Norwegian salmon has been available in Hong Kong for more than 20 years mainly in Japanese restaurants, and "we thought it appropriate to showcase it in other ethnic cuisines."

"In this promotion, we're featuring not only western and Japanese but also Thai, Vietnamese, Indian and Chinese."

Diners also have a chance to enter a lucky draw offering a round-trip ticket to Norway by Finnair, as the first prize. The second prize is dinner for two at the famous Scandinavian restaurant, FINDS, and the third prize, a lifestyle plus cookbook, Scapas Dining by FINDS executive chef Jaakko Sorsa.
