Salmon In Rice Paper With Sweet Spicy Sake Essence Recipes

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:

• Sake essence In a heavy 2-quart saucepan, combine the sake, mirin, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and chili, bring to a boil over high heat and reduce to about 1/2 cup, 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the peppers, zucchini, and carrot until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Add the soy sauce and vegetables to the sake essence; set aside and keep warm. Salmon Remove skin, if not already done. Sprinkle both sides of each salmon fillet with salt and pepper and drizzle with a little of the vegetable oil, using 1 tbsp total for the four fillets. Take a dish large enough to submerge the rice wrapper. Fill with hot tap water. Soak rice wrappers (one at a time) for 10-20 seconds in the water, just enough to soften and become pliable. Wrap each fillet in rice paper folding to make a little package. Heat the remaining 3 tbsp oil in a heavy, 12-inch skillet over medium to medium-high heat until it's hot and shimmering but not smoking. Put the wrapped fillets in the skillet, seam side down, without touching each other, and saute, turning to brown top and bottom, until the rice paper is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side; don't overcook. Transfer to paper towels and let drain. Stir the chopped cilantro into the sake essence and spoon some onto each of four warm places. Put salmon fillet in the center of each plate, top with a cilantro spring and serve at once.

Steps:

• To make the sake essence: In a heavy, 2-quart saucepan, combine the sake, mirin, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and Serrano, bring to a boil over high heat, and reduce to about ½ cup, 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the peppers zucchini and carrot until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Add the soy sauce and vegetables to the sake essence; set aside and keep warm. To prepare the salmon: Sprinkle both sides of each salmon fillet with salt and pepper and drizzle with a little of the vegetable oil, using 1 Tbs. total for the four fillets. Wrap each fillet in rice paper. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a heavy, 12-inch skillet over medium to medium-high heat until it's hot and shimmering, but not smoking. Put the wrapped fillets in the skillet without touching and sauté, turning to brown top and bottom, until the rice paper is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side; don't overcook (if the fillets are very thick, you can also brown the sides for 1 minute each, but most fillets will be cooked through- just barely opaque - if just the top and bottom are seared.) Transfer to paper towels and let drain. Stir the chopped cilantro into the sake essence and spoon some onto each of the four warm dinner plates. Put a salmon fillet in the center of each plate, top with a cilantro sprig, and serve at once.

Steps:

• in a saucepan, combine sake, mirin, vinegar, ginger, garlic and jalapeno, bring to boil and reduce to about 1/2 c (about 15 minutes).
• meanwhile heat oil in a skillet, saute peppers, zucchini, carrot until crisp tender.
• add to the sake mixture with soy sauce and keep warm.
• salt& pepper each salmon fillet and drizzle with oil.
• wet rice paper wrappers one at a time in a bowl of warm water, then remove rice paper to a clean cloth towel on the work surface.
• place salmon in center of rice paper, fold rice paper over, tuck in sides and fold again.
• repeat with remaining fillets.
• heat 3 tbsp of oil in a skillet.
• place rice paper bundles seam side down, saute for 3-5 minutes, turn over, cook1-2 minutes more.
• spoon sauce into 4 plates, top with salmon, garnish with cilantro.
