Sake Salmon And Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a saucepan bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
• In a large pan, add enough water to just cover the bottom of the pan. Lay the salmon fillet in the pan, pink side up. Place cooked rice around the outside of the fish. Sprinkle the orange juice over the fish and rice.
• In a small bowl, combine the dill weed, rosemary, basil, mustard, lemon pepper and sprinkle over the fish and rice. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until the salmon is tender and flaky.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the miso, brown sugar, sake and mirin. Place the salmon, skin-side down, in a large resealable bag. Pour in the marinade and close the bag. Lightly massage to coat the salmon with the marinade. Place the bag flat on a sheet tray. Marinate for 12 to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the broiler (on low if you have a low and high setting).
• Line an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan with foil and fit with an 8 1/2-by-12-inch wire rack on one side. Drizzle or brush the rack and aluminum foil with some olive oil.
• Remove the salmon from the marinade and sprinkle with salt. Place the salmon fillets side-by-side, skin-side down, on top of the rack. Spread the broccolini in a single layer on the other half of the sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle the broccolini with the crushed red pepper flakes and salt.
• Broil on the top rack until the salmon reaches 135 degrees F, 5 to 7 minutes.
• If desired, remove the salmon skin from the fillets before serving. Serve the salmon and broccolini with a side of Coconut Rice.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt the coconut oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir. (This creates a nice fat barrier to ensure well-separated grains of rice.) Add the coconut milk, salt and 2 cups water to the pot. Give it a good stir and cover with a lid. Bring to a boil, then immediately lower to a gentle simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, then take off the heat with the lid still on and let the rice rest for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the shredded coconut on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Bake until golden brown and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool.
• Fluff the rice with a fork and serve with the lime wedges and a nice sprinkle of toasted coconut.

Steps:

• In a plastic sealable bag, combine the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, oil, and sake; add the salmon fillets. Leave to marinate for about 20 minutes.
• Place rice in medium saucepan and add 2 cups water along with the cardamom pods. Bring to a boil, cover, turn down heat to low and simmer about 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Keep lid on and set aside.
• Heat a nonstick skillet, and cook the salmon fillets for 1 1/2 minutes on one side, turn over and cook a minute on the other side. Remove the salmon, double wrapping each fillet in foil parcels and let them rest for 10 minutes on a wooden board.
• Bring the sake to a boil in a small saucepan, and let the alcohol evaporate. Take pan off heat and add the other sauce ingredients.
• Unwrap the salmon fillets, placing them on a cutting board. Arrange some of the warm rice on 2 serving plates, and slice the salmon fillets into thin slices. Place the carved salmon on top of the rice and drizzle over the sauce. Sprinkle the cilantro on top. Serve and enjoy!
