Buffalo Style Salmon Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in upper third. Lightly oil a shallow baking pan.
• Melt butter with hot sauce and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper over medium heat. Set aside 1/4 cup sauce.
• Toss panko with oil in a bowl. Put salmon, skin side down, in baking pan and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, then brush with remaining sauce. Sprinkle panko evenly over top of fish, then bake until panko is golden and fish is just cooked through, 16 to 22 minutes. Serve reserved sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Combine the butter, hot sauce, maple syrup, paprika and a pinch of salt in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until the butter melts, about 30 seconds. Whisk to combine. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium. Whisk the blue cheese, yogurt, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon water, 2 teaspoons of the prepared sauce and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the arugula, celery and carrots and set aside (do not toss). Brush the grill with vegetable oil. Season the salmon with salt. Grill, brushing occasionally with the sauce, until marked and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Toss the salad and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with the salmon and the remaining sauce.

Steps:

• Soak four 10-inch bamboo paddle skewers in water for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the mirin and sake in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer, add the brown sugar and cook, whisking until dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the miso and whisk until dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool, then remove 1/4 cup and set aside for brushing. Pour the remaining marinade over the salmon cubes in a baking dish, tossing to coat. Cover and refrigerate the salmon and reserved marinade for at least 6 hours and preferably overnight.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Lightly coat the hot grates with vegetable oil.
• Remove the salmon from the marinade and blot dry with a paper towel. Thread each skewer with 5 to 6 pieces each of salmon and shiitake, alternating between the two and piercing the salmon through the flesh and out the skin side.
• Place the skewers on the grill and lightly sprinkle each with salt. Grill for 1 minute on each side (so they cook evenly). Continue to grill, turning continuously, until the shiitake are tender and the salmon is browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes more. Brush some of the reserved 1/4 cup of miso marinade all over each skewer. Grill until the glaze is slightly caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the grill and sprinkle with furikake or togarashi.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Line cookie sheet with foil.
• Place salmon fillet, skin side down, on cookie sheet. Brush with 2 tablespoons sauce. Sprinkle with bread crumbs, pressing to coat. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
• Bake 15 minutes or until crumbs are golden and fish is opaque. Cut salmon into 4 pieces (skin should slide off). Drizzle with extra Buffalo-style hot sauce, if desired.
