Grilled Candied Garlic Salmon On Crispy Rice Noodles And Baby Asian Greens Recipes

Steps:

• Light charcoal briquettes in a grill and brush the grilling rack with oil to keep the salmon from sticking.
• While the grill is heating, lay the salmon skin side down on a cutting board and cut it crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Whisk together the mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic in a small bowl. Drizzle half of the marinade onto the salmon and allow it to sit for 10 minutes.
• Place the salmon skin side down on the hot grill; discard the marinade the fish was sitting in. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Turn carefully with a wide spatula and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes. The salmon will be slightly raw in the center, but don't worry; it will keep cooking as it sits.
• Transfer the fish to a flat plate, skin side down, and spoon the reserved marinade on top. Allow the fish to rest for 10 minutes. Remove the skin and serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

Steps:

• If using fillets of salmon, be sure to remove any pin bones. Combine marinade ingredients, except lemon slices, in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Take off heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Add lemon and pour cooled marinade over fish and marinate, refrigerated, for at least 1 but no more than 4 hours. Turn fish occasionally.
• When ready to serve, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an ovenproof saute pan (preferably non-stick) over moderately high heat. Remove salmon from marinade and quickly saute on 1 side until lightly browned and "lacquered" looking. Turn fish over and place pan in a preheated 500 degree oven for 4 to 5 minutes or until just cooked through. Don't overcook. Salmon should still be translucent in the very middle.
• While salmon is cooking add remaining oil to another skillet and heat over moderately high heat. Add bok choy and soy beans and stir-fry for 1 or 2 minutes. Add pea shoots and stir-fry for 1 minute longer. Add 1 cup or so of stock and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Season vegetables, to taste, with salt and a few drops of hot pepper sesame oil. Place vegetables and broth in the center of shallow warm bowls and top with salmon. Garnish with sesame seeds and sprouts and serve immediately.

• To Roast Garlic: Slice off the top quarter or so of 2 heads of garlic to expose the cloves. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Loosely but completely wrap each head in a piece of foil and roast in a preheated 400 degree oven until garlic is very soft and lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Squeeze out and mash as much as you can from garlic heads. Stir garlic into 1-quart chicken stock and simmer for a few minutes to develop the flavor.

Steps:

• Remove salmon skin and place salmon in a glass container.
• Prepare marinade and pour over salmon and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• While fish is marinating, prepare your rice. Being lazy, I prefer using Rice-o-roni Herb & Butter but you can easily substitute your favorite rice side dish here.
• Place filet(s) on 350° grill, season with coarse sea salt, fresh ground pepper and parsley flakes to taste.
• After 7-8 minutes flip filets, reseason and continue cooking for another 7-8 minutes or until the fish is light pink and flaky. Do not overcook.
• Serve salmon over a bed of rice with a chilled glass of Chardonnay or Pinot Noir.
• Bon Appetite!

Steps:

• Season the salmon on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and sear the salmon fillets skin side down until the skin is browned and crispy, 2 to 5 minutes. The salmon's orange flesh will begin to turn pale coral as the heat slowly creeps up the sides of the fish; you want that coral color to come up about two-thirds of the way at this point for a nice medium-rare. Carefully flip the salmon and cook the second side until the flesh feels firm, another 1 to 2 minutes. When you press it, it should not feel wobbly. Transfer the salmon to a plate skin side down and keep the pan with the rendered fat over the heat.
• Add the rice to the fat in the pan and spread in an even layer, packing it down as if making a rice pancake. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the bottom is lightly browned and toasted, about 5 minutes. You should hear it crackle. Flip the rice like a pancake, using a spatula if needed. You may not be able to flip it all in one piece, but that's OK. Cook until lightly toasted on the second side, another 1 to 2 minutes. Go longer if you want crispier rice, but the trifecta of crispy-chewy-soft tastes wonderful.
• While the rice is cooking, stir together the gochugaru, maple syrup, rice vinegar and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. When the rice is done, divide it evenly among the plates. In the now empty pan, add the gochugaru mixture and cook, stirring constantly, over medium-high heat until it bubbles up and reduces significantly, 15 seconds to 1 minute. It should look pretty sticky. Turn off the heat and add the cold butter, stirring with a wooden spoon or tongs until fully melted and incorporated into the gochugaru mixture. Pour this glaze over the salmon and serve with cucumbers or pickles if you'd like.

Steps:

• Make the marinade by mixing together all the ingredients. Place the salmon fillets in a small bowl and spoon over the marinade, turning the fish so that it's nicely coated. Cover with cling film and leave to sit for 10 mins (or longer if you have time).
• Meanwhile, cook the noodles following pack instructions, then drain and sit them in a bowl of cold water.
• Heat a non-stick frying pan. Add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and leave for 3 mins. When the fish is slightly crispy, flip over and cook for a further 3 mins on the other side. Just before you remove the fish from the pan, add any remaining marinade and let it sizzle for 10 secs. Place 2 of the fillets, skin-side up, with their juices on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Put the other 2 fillets on another plate if using for Flaked salmon salad (see 'goes well with'), cover with foil, leave to cool, then chill.
• In a frying pan or wok, heat the rapeseed and sesame oils over a high heat. Add the spring onion, garlic, chilli and ginger, and stir constantly for about 1 min. Add the sugar snap peas, pak choi and pepper, and stir for another 1-2 mins, then add the cooked noodles. Toss well, then add the soy sauce, fish sauce and lime juice, and mix until well combined and the pan is sizzling.
• Remove from the heat and divide between 2 bowls. Top each with a salmon fillet and drizzle over any juices. Sprinkle with coriander and serve.
