Asian Grilled Salmon Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Light the grill for indirect heat, or heat the oven to 450 degrees.
• As the grill or oven heat up, make the dressing: Halve 1 lime, and squeeze its juice into a small bowl. Add the chile slices, half of the sliced shallot (save the rest for serving), the fish sauce and a pinch each salt and sugar. Let sit for 1 minute to dissolve the salt, then whisk in the olive oil. It won't emulsify, so mix again before using.
• Brush the salmon with oil, and place it in a grilling basket if you have one. Cook over the indirect (unlit) side of the grill, for 2 to 5 minutes per side, depending on how hot the grill is and how thick the salmon is. Note that individual fillets will cook faster than a single large piece. Check the salmon often. (Alternatively, roast the salmon on a baking sheet in the oven, until just cooked to taste, 7 to 12 minutes; you don't have to flip it.)
• As the salmon cooks, halve the other lime. Brush the cut sides with olive oil and grill, cut-side down, over direct heat until charred, about 1 minute. If using the oven, throw the halves, cut-side up, on the roasting pan with the salmon. They won't char, but they will cook and mellow in flavor, which is the aim.
• When the salmon is cooked, transfer it to a plate and spoon some dressing over it. Let it cool slightly, then break up the fish into large chunks.
• Place greens, remaining shallots, herbs, and radishes or cucumber, if using, in a large shallow bowl or on a platter, and add a little more of the dressing. Squeeze some of the juice from a charred lime half over it and drizzle with a little olive oil. Toss and taste, adding lime juice, olive oil or salt as needed.
• Top with the salmon chunks and drizzle with more (or all) of the dressing. Serve with the remaining charred lime half on the side for squeezing.

Steps:

• In a shallow glass dish, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger and vinegar.
• Add salmon and turn to coat all sides. Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes, turning occasionally. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
• Lightly oil the grill and place the salmon on the grill. Grill about 5 minutes per side. Test for doneness by placing a knife blade into the center to see if the pink flesh has become opaque.
• Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat grill and brush rack with olive oil to prevent fish from sticking.
• Whisk together the mustard, soy sauce, olive oil and garlic.
• Drizzle about half of the marinade onto the salmon and allow it to sit about 10 minutes.
• Place salmon skin side down on the hot grill; discard the marinade the fish was sitting in.
• Grill salmon approximately 4-5 minutes on each side (or longer as you prefer).
• Transfer the fish to a plate, skin-side down, and spoon the remaining marinade on top.
• Allow fish to rest about 10 minutes.
• Remove the skin and serve.
