Cider Grilled Salmon Recipes

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and pepper in a bowl for the marinade.
• Place salmon fillets into a shallow glass dish and pour 1/2 of the marinade over the fish. Reserve remaining marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Discard marinade from the glass dish.
• Grill salmon, brushing with reserved marinade several times, until it flakes easily with a fork, 4 to 6 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Fit a baking sheet with a wire rack.
• In a medium saute pan, heat the butter and canola oil over medium heat. Season the salmon with salt and pepper on both sides and cook on one side until light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the fillets, then add the apple cider and shallots and raise the heat to medium high to bring the liquid to a simmer. Cook the fish another 2 minutes, then gently remove the fillets to the rack and transfer to the oven. Bake 8 to 10 minutes for medium rare.
• Meanwhile, continue simmering the pan sauce over medium-low heat, whisking often, until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the honey and mustard and continue to simmer until slightly reduced, 2 to 4 minutes more. Whisk in the creme fraiche and simmer, whisking often, until the sauce is thick and glossy and coats the back of a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes more. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding apple cider vinegar as desired.
• Transfer the salmon to serving plates and spoon the sauce over the fish. Garnish with the tarragon, mint, chives and jalapeños.

Steps:

• Combine cider and soy in nonreactive pan.
• Bring to a boil, reduce to medium and cook for 3 minutes.
• Add butter and garlic.
• Cook until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Cool for 30 minutes Brush marinade over salmon, let sit 30 minutes then cook on grill.

Steps:

• Soak a cedar grill plank in water for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours. Preheat the grill to medium.
• Mix the rice wine vinegar, maple syrup, soy sauce, ginger and garlic in a medium bowl. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly, until emulsified. Reserve 1/4 cup for the salad dressing and set aside. Pour the remaining mixture over the salmon and let marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the soaked cedar plank in the center of the preheated grill. Close the lid and let the plank heat until you hear it start to crack, about 15 minutes. Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, on the plank. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Close the lid and cook until the salmon is opaque throughout and large flakes break off when flecked with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the plank from the grill and serve the salmon from the plank (the fish will slide right off with a metal spatula, leaving the skin behind). Discard the plank.
• While the salmon is cooking, add the coleslaw mix, almonds, sesame sticks or wonton chips and the reserved dressing to a large bowl and toss until well combined. Serve alongside the salmon.
