Kitchen Tips: Using Jade Salt effectively

September 26, 2007 | 2 comments

Sprinkled on fried, baked or grilled fish Jade Salt imparts a maritime tang. Use it with lemon juice on oysters — just sprinkle and allow them to stand for 10 minutes in the fridge.

JADE MARINADE

Process the juice of a lemon, two tablespoons of olive oil, a clove of garlic and 5-10 grammes of Jade Salt in a blender. Pour it over fish fillets in a shallow dish and allow to stand for 15-20 minutes, turning the fish once or twice. Then grill and serve.

WITH FROZEN FISH

Freezing can remove a lot of flavour from fish, scallops and prawns. Jade Salt can help to reclaim the lost taste. When the fish is thoroughly thawed, place it in a bowl with one litre of water and 10 grammes of Jade Salt.

Let it stand for 10 minutes or more then remove the fish — do not rinse, just pat fillets or peeled prawns dry with paper towel and brush with oil and a tiny quantity of light soy sauce.

Prawns in the shell should be left to drain in the fridge

Bring out the full flavour of your favourite fish

Tasmanian Southern Ocean Jade Salt is blended from sun-crystallised sea salt from the great Southern Ocean.

It contains pure ground seaweed, an edible variety known as Undaria which has migrated from Japan where it is cultivated.

It has established itself in the clear waters off Triabunna on Tasmania’s south-east coast. Undaria is rich in potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, as well as essential trace elements such as iodine.

But it is most highly prized for its strong ocean flavour; it is farmed in Japan, where many thousands of tonnes are consumed annually.

A mixture of herbs and spices has been added to complement and emphasise the natural flavour of fish, crustaceans, scallops and other shellfish. There are no additives or preservatives.
