COLD-POACHED SALMON NICOISE SALAD WITH CRISPY POTATOES



Cold-Poached Salmon Nicoise Salad with Crispy Potatoes image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup dry and crisp white wine
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
5 sprigs fresh dill
2 lemons, 1 sliced in half, the other sliced into thin rounds
1 pound salmon, pin bones removed, skin intact
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill fronds
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound baby Yukon gold potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large eggs
1/2 pound haricot vert or thin green beans, trimmed
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large head frisee lettuce, cut into bite-size pieces (about 5 cups)
1 romaine heart, cut into bite-size pieces (about 3 cups)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, sliced in half

Steps:

  • For the salmon: Add the wine, Dijon mustard, dill sprigs and 1 cup of water to a large straight-sided skillet. Squeeze the juice from the halved lemon into the skillet and then add in the lemon halves. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Sprinkle the salmon with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Once the liquid is simmering, gently add the salmon, skin-side-down, and turn the heat to low. Place the lemon slices on top of the salmon, cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes. Turn the heat off and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. The salmon should easily flake apart with a fork. Carefully remove the salmon from the liquid and set on a plate. Cool completely.
  • For the dressing: Add the vinegar, oil, dill, mustard, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a glass jar with a lid. Cover and shake to emulsify. Set aside until ready to assemble the salad.
  • For the salad: Add the potatoes to a large saucepan and add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by 4-inches. Add a big pinch of salt and heat over medium high heat. Bring the potatoes to a boil and let cook until the potatoes are fork tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the potatoes to a plate. Reserve the pot with boiling water to use to cook the eggs and haricot vert.
  • Fill a large bowl with ice and water. Bring the water back up to a boil, then add your eggs and cook for 7 minutes. Remove the eggs to the ice bath. Bring the water back up to a boil and add the haricot vert. Cook until they are tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove the haricot vert to the ice bath. Drain and cut them into thirds and set aside until ready to assemble. Remove the eggs from the ice bath, peel and set aside.
  • Using the flat base of a measuring cup or a glass, lightly smash the potatoes to expose some of the flesh. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Carefully add the potatoes into the pan, seasoning side down. Sprinkle the exposed side of the potatoes and cook until they are crispy and golden brown in places, about 4 minutes per side. Some potatoes may break apart, that's totally fine! Remove to a plate and set aside until ready to assemble.
  • To assemble the salad: Arrange the frisee and romaine leaves on a large platter. Drizzle about half of the dressing and toss to coat. Top the lettuce with the crispy potatoes, haricot vert, tomatoes and olives. Flake the cooled salmon into large pieces and scatter it on top of the salad. Slice the eggs in half and nestle into the salad. Drizzle on the remaining dressing and serve.

CRISPY POTATO PANCAKE WITH SMOKED SALMON AND DILL-CAPER VINAIGRETTE



Crispy Potato Pancake with Smoked Salmon and Dill-Caper Vinaigrette image

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon finely minced shallot
1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon capers, finely minced
1 tablespoon finely minced dill
Freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 small Spanish onion
2 russet potatoes (about 1 pound)
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons Clarified Butter, recipe follows
16 slices smoked salmon
1/2 cup creme fraiche, lightly whipped
1/4 cup dill fronds
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the mustard, vinegar and shallots. Whisk in the canola and olive oils to emulsify the dressing, and then fold in the capers and dill. Season with pepper only, as the capers are salty.
  • On the large-hole side of a box grater, grate the onion into a strainer set over a bowl. Then, peel the potatoes. It is important to work quickly to avoid potato oxidation. You do not want to store the potatoes in water, as the starch will be washed away. Using the large-hole side of the box grater, grate the potatoes into the strainer. Press out the liquid and discard. Toss the potatoes with the onions and season with salt and pepper.
  • In an 8-inch nonstick saute pan set over medium-high heat, melt the Clarified Butter. It will seem like a lot of butter. Pack the potatoes into the pan, so that the layer is 1/2-inch thick. Saute the potatoes until the bottom just starts to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Carefully and gently flip the potato pancake onto a small plate browned-side up. Then slide the potato pancake back into the pan and brown on the other side over medium-high heat. Place in the oven and cook until evenly golden, another 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the potato pancake on a paper towel and cut into quarters.
  • Roll the smoked salmon into rosettes. Top the potato pancake slices with the smoked salmon rosettes, a few dollops of creme fraiche and the dill fronds. Drizzle with the vinaigrette before serving.
  • Heat the butter in a heavy-duty saucepan over very low heat until it's melted. Simmer gently until the foam rises to the top of the melted butter. The butter may splatter a bit, so be careful.
  • Once the butter stops spluttering and no more foam seems to be rising to the surface, remove from the heat and skim off the foam with a spoon.
  • Line a mesh strainer with a few layers of cheesecloth or gauze and set the strainer over a heatproof container.
  • Carefully pour the warm butter through the cheesecloth-lined strainer into the container, discarding any solids from the bottom of the pan.

CRISPY-SKIN SALMON PROVENCAL WITH CHARRED RED CABBAGE SALAD



Crispy-Skin Salmon Provencal with Charred Red Cabbage Salad image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Four 4-ounce skin-on salmon fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 teaspoons dried herbes de Provence
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Charred Red Cabbage Salad, recipe follows
1/4 cup canned crispy fried onions
1/4 head red cabbage, stem intact, cut into thick slices
1/2 yellow onion, peeled, root end intact, cut into wedges
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup your favorite olives, pitted and halved
1 jarred roasted red pepper, julienned
1 orange, supreme (peel cut away and segments cut free from the pith) along with collected juices
1/2 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Brush 1 tablespoon Dijon all over the flesh side of each piece of salmon, then sprinkle each with salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence.
  • Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and let it sizzle until the skin is golden brown and crispy, 6 to 7 minutes. Gently flip with a fish spatula. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the pan and let the salmon cook until the flesh is golden brown and the internal temperature is 130 degrees F, 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the lemon juice, then remove from the heat. Serve the salmon on top of the Charred Cabbage Salad. Spoon the lemon pan sauce over the salmon and garnish with the crispy onions.
  • Preheat the grill or a grill pan for cooking at high heat.
  • Drizzle the cabbage and onion liberally with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the cabbage and onion until the cabbage is slightly wilted and super charred and the onion is soft and charred, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and set aside to cool until cool enough to handle. Remove the stems of the cabbage and roughly chop the cabbage; transfer to a medium bowl. Roughly chop the onion and add to the bowl along with the olives, red pepper, orange segments and juice, lemon juice, olive oil and salt and pepper. Toss to combine and adjust seasoning if necessary.

NEW YORK'S BEST CRISPY SALMON CAKES



New York's Best Crispy Salmon Cakes image

This started out as a basic recipe many years ago and slowly evolved until it became the best salmon cakes I've ever had. Please use the celery and red bell pepper as it is essential to the taste. If you don't have the wasabi powder you can just substitute cayenne pepper which tastes different but is still good but please don't use 1/2 tsp! LOL!

CRISPY-SKINNED SALMON WITH WHOLE LEMON-SESAME SAUCE



Crispy-Skinned Salmon with Whole Lemon-Sesame Sauce image

Adding an entire lemon-skin, pith, and flesh-to the sauce provides brightness and texture. Any bitterness from the pith will be offset by the sesame oil and honey. That balance makes it a super versatile condiment that pairs well with grilled or roasted vegetables and is great as a topping for stews and braises come winter.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Fish     Seafood     Salmon     Lemon     Sesame     Basil     Soy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 (6-oz.) skin-on salmon fillets, pin bones removed, patted dry
2 Tbsp. plus 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill
Kosher salt
1 small lemon
1 small shallot, finely chopped
2 tsp. black sesame seeds
1 tsp. honey
1/2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup basil leaves, torn if large

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium heat. Rub salmon with 2 Tbsp. olive oil; season both sides with kosher salt.
  • Cut ends off lemon and discard. Set lemon upright on a cutting board and slice off 4 lobes, working around the core (the seeds will be left behind). Finely chop lobes (flesh, pith, and all) and transfer to a small bowl; you should have about 1/3 cup. Squeeze juice from core into bowl; discard core. Add shallot, sesame seeds, honey, sesame oil, and 1/3 cup olive oil; season with kosher salt and lots of pepper. Toss to combine.
  • Clean and oil grate, then immediately place salmon on grill, skin side down. Cover and grill, without turning, until skin is lightly charred and flesh is opaque all the way through, 6-8 minutes. Transfer salmon to shallow bowls or plates; let cool slightly. Spoon sauce over salmon. Top with basil; sprinkle with sea salt.

GOCHUGARU SALMON WITH CRISPY RICE



Gochugaru Salmon With Crispy Rice image

Gochugaru, a mild, fragrant red-pepper powder, bedazzles this quick salmon dinner. As a key ingredient in Korean home cooking, gochugaru proves that some chiles provide not only heat but fruity sweetness as well. Here, that's especially true once it's bloomed in maple syrup, vinegar and butter. If you like shiny things, you may find great pleasure in watching this pan sauce transform into a mirrored, crimson glaze. Try to get long center-cut salmon fillets for uniform thickness and even cooking. Their crispy skin tastes wonderful with white rice, which toasts in the rendered salmon fat. To balance the richness of the fish, serve it with fresh, crunchy things, like cucumbers or pickles, or a big green salad.

Provided by Eric Kim

Categories     dinner, weeknight, seafood, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 skin-on salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cups cooked white rice, preferably leftovers
4 teaspoons gochugaru (see Tip)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, kept whole
Sliced cucumbers or pickles, for serving (optional)

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.

CRISPY SALMON WITH CUCUMBER SALAD AND SPICY MAYO



Crispy Salmon with Cucumber Salad and Spicy Mayo image

These pan-fried salmon fillets get a light, crispy crust from arrowroot flour a gluten-free starch that's similar to cornstarch (which you can also use). The salmon is served with a spicy mayo and refreshing cucumber salad, for a meal that's full of crunch, snap and flavor.

Provided by Gabriela Rodiles

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons rice vinegar, white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 lime) or lemon juice
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil or neutral oil
Kosher salt
One 12-ounce package Persian cucumbers (about 7 cucumbers), or 12 ounces English cucumbers sliced into half-moons
1/2 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves
1/4 cup roasted salted peanuts, or any other roasted salted nut, roughly chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chile-garlic sauce, sambal oelek or hot sauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil or other neutral oil
Four skinless or skin-on salmon fillets, preferably center cut (6 to 8 ounces each)
3/4 cup arrowroot flour or cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper

Steps:

  • Whisk together the vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil and a large pinch of salt in a large bowl. Thinly slice the cucumbers lengthwise about 1/8-inch thick with a mandoline or vegetable peeler. Add the cucumbers to the bowl with the dressing; add the cilantro and peanuts and toss until evenly coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, if needed. Stir together the mayonnaise and chile-garlic sauce in a small bowl until smooth. Set both aside for serving.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillets with a large pinch of salt. Place the arrowroot or cornstarch in a medium shallow bowl or baking dish and whisk in the cayenne and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Dredge the salmon fillets until each side is well coated.
  • Once the oil is shimmering and hot, carefully add the salmon. Cook until well browned and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Give the cucumber salad a toss, then transfer to a serving bowl. Place each salmon fillet on a plate, drizzle with the spicy mayo and serve with the cucumber salad.

CRISPY-SKIN KING SALMON WITH ROASTED ASPARAGUS, FINGERLING POTATOES, AND HOLLANDAISE SAUCE



Crispy-Skin King Salmon with Roasted Asparagus, Fingerling Potatoes, and Hollandaise Sauce image

Categories     Fish     Potato     Dinner     Salmon     Asparagus     Sugar Conscious     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

For the potatoes:
1 pound fingerling potatoes
5 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the asparagus:
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
4 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 1/2 lemon
For the hollandaise sauce:
1 cup white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves
2 teaspoons whole peppercorns
3 large egg yolks
1 cup clarified butter
For the salmon:
4 (6- to 8-ounce) center-cut salmon fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
Juice of two lemons
Equipment:
2 large baking sheets

Steps:

  • Roast the potatoes:
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • On a large baking sheet, toss together the potatoes, oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven until tender. Remove from the oven and let cool. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into thin slices.
  • Meanwhile, roast the asparagus:
  • On a large baking sheet, toss together the asparagus, oil, salt, and pepper. Squeeze the lemon juice over the asparagus then roast in the oven until tender, about 5 minutes. Leave the oven on.
  • Make the hollandaise:
  • In a small saucepan over moderate heat, combine the vinegar, tarragon, and peppercorns and bring to a simmer. Continue simmering until reduced to about 1 tablespoon. Strain the vinegar through a fine-mesh sieve.
  • Set a metal bowl over a medium saucepan of gently simmering water (do not allow the bottom of the bowl to touch the water). Add the egg yolks and vinegar reduction and cook, whisking constantly so the eggs don't scramble, until the yolks are fluffy and light in color. Add the clarified butter in a slow steady stream, whisking constantly. Remove the hollandaise sauce from the heat and cover to keep warm.
  • Cook the salmon:
  • Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
  • In a large sauté pan over moderate heat, warm the olive oil until hot but not smoking. Add the salmon, skin side down, and sear until golden brown. Flip the salmon over, sear for about 10 seconds, then immediately flip the salmon over again so that the skin is facing down. Transfer the salmon to the oven to finish cooking for about 5 minutes. Squeeze the lemon juice over the salmon.
  • To serve:
  • Place a salmon fillet in the center of each of 4 plates. Arrange the potatoes and asparagus beside the salmon and drizzle the asparagus with the hollandaise.

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup clarified butter
1/2 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
3 tablespoons buttermilk
1 tablespoon caper juice
1 teaspoon honey
Zest of 1 lemon
8 to 10 slices smoked salmon or gravlax
1/4 cup fresh dill fronds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Line a colander or strainer with a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and place over a large bowl.
  • On the large holes of a box grater, grate the onion and potatoes into the lined strainer. Wrap the kitchen towel around the grated potatoes and onions and squeeze out as much water as possible. Discard the water. Open the towel and spread out the potatoes and onion. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
  • In a 10-inch oven-safe nonstick saute pan set over medium heat, melt the clarified butter. Press the potato and onion mixture into the pan, so that the layer is about 1/2-inch thick. Cook until the bottom is brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Carefully and gently flip the hash brown onto the other side and cook for an additional 5 minutes. For an extra-crispy hash brown, transfer the pan to the oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the creme fraiche, chives, buttermilk, caper juice, honey and lemon zest. Set aside.
  • Transfer the hash brown to a plate. Top the hash brown with slices of the smoked salmon. Cut into wedges. Drizzle the sauce over the hash browns. Top with the dill fronds. Serve immediately.

CRISPY-SKIN SALMON WITH CURRIED YOGURT SAUCE



Crispy-Skin Salmon with Curried Yogurt Sauce image

Nailing perfectly crispy skin on salmon is easier than you think. The secret is prepping the fish before cooking it. Scraping the residual moisture will guarantee a crisp skin. You can also scrape it a few hours or days before cooking.

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Two 6-ounce salmon fillets, skin on, scales and pin bones removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • For the salmon: Pat the fillets dry with paper towels. With the sharp edge of a knife, scrape the skin back and forth the length of a fillet over and over with light pressure. You will see moisture build up on your knife edge; wipe it away. Continue for about 1 minute, until there's almost nothing to wipe away. Cut a few 2- to 3-inch slits across the middle of the salmon skin. Repeat with the remaining fillet.
  • Season the salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Drizzle with the oil and set aside until ready to cook.
  • For the yogurt sauce: Combine the yogurt, cilantro, lemon zest and juice, oil, garlic, garam masala and curry powder in a small bowl. Mix with a fork until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  • Heat a 9- to 11-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes. There is no need to oil the pan, because you oiled the fish. Add the fillets skin-side down, laying them away from you. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Shake the pan until the salmon releases from the bottom of the pan by itself.
  • Carefully turn the salmon over and reduce the heat to medium-low so the flesh side cooks more slowly. Cook until a thin-bladed knife inserted into the flesh meets with just a little resistance or an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a fillet registers 125 degrees F, 2 to 3 minutes (thinner pieces will be done quicker than the thicker ones).
  • Serve the fillets topped with some of the yogurt sauce.

CRISPY SKIN SALMON WITH MINCED HERB BUTTER



Crispy Skin Salmon with Minced Herb Butter image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter, softened
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, minced
1 1/2 pounds skin-on salmon, cut into four 6-ounce pieces (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • For the minced herb butter: Line a baking sheet that fits into the freezer with parchment paper.
  • Put the butter in a small mixing bowl and add the parsley. Stir to combine with a rubber spatula. Scoop into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the butter into rosettes on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze until the butter is set, about 1 hour.
  • For the salmon: Line a plate with paper towels and place the salmon on it skin-side up. Using a paring knife, score the salmon by making 2 small slits in the skin on each piece, making sure not to cut into the flesh. Pat the skin with paper towels to make sure it is as dry as possible.
  • Place a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Once the skillet is warm, add the vegetable oil and heat until shimmering. The skillet needs to be very hot to create a crispy sear at the start.
  • Season the salmon skin with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, then place the salmon pieces skin-side down in the oil; reduce the heat to medium. Using a fish spatula, apply even pressure to each piece to make sure it stays flat. Cook, without flipping, until the edges are golden brown and the flesh is turning opaque, 7 to 8 minutes. Season the flesh of the salmon with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and flip over to finish cooking; it will take about 2 minutes more for medium (125 degrees F), depending on the thickness of the fish. Do not flip the fish again or cover the skillet.
  • Plate the salmon crispy skin facing up. Top each piece with a rosette of herb butter. Serve immediately.

Time 57m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

10 cloves garlic, sliced very thin, plus 2 cloves garlic (pressed or minced)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 teaspoons ginger, minced
2 teaspoons curry paste
6 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
Oil, for frying
8 ounces dried rice noodles (mai fun or rice sticks)
1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots
Flour, for coating
2 cups halved snap peas
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
5 cups baby greens
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare candied garlic by combining garlic, water, wine, sugar, and butter in a small saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes or until syrupy, but the garlic should not be mushy. Remove garlic to cool. Reserve syrup for the dressing.
  • Marinate the salmon: Combine the fish sauce, lime juice, 1 clove of pressed garlic, ginger, and curry paste and mix well. Remove 1/4 cup of the mixture and set aside. Place the remaining mixture in a shallow bowl and add the salmon. Marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  • To the reserved marinade, add the reserved syrup from the candied dressing and the remaining clove of pressed garlic and whisk well. Set aside.
  • Preheat the grill.
  • Heat 2-inches of oil in a large, deep pot to 350 degrees F. Fry rice noodles according to the package directions, a few at a time, draining on paper towels. (They'll look like Styrofoam.) Set aside. Keep oil hot for the next step.
  • Coat the thinly sliced shallots with flour, shaking off any excess and fry until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towel and set aside.
  • Mix the snap peas, scallions and greens in a bowl.
  • Remove the salmon from the marinade and grill about 5 minutes per side, or to desired degree of doneness.
  • Putting it together: Toss greens with dressing and divide among 6 plates. Top each serving with crispy noodles, then top with a serving of salmon. Top each salmon with fried shallots and candied garlic. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

CRISPY-SKIN SALMON WITH MISO-HONEY SAUCE



Crispy-Skin Salmon with Miso-Honey Sauce image

The key to salmon fillets with crackly skin is to start it skin side down in a cold cast-iron pan-as the skillet heats, the skin slowly renders and crisps.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (2") piece ginger, peeled, finely grated
2 Tbsp. white miso
1 Tbsp. honey
1 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 Tbsp. sesame seeds
4 (4-6-oz.) skin-on salmon fillets
Kosher salt
3 scallions, thinly sliced
Cooked rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk ginger, miso, honey, vinegar, oil, and 1 Tbsp. water in a small bowl to combine; set sauce aside.
  • Heat a dry small skillet over medium. Toast sesame seeds, tossing, until golden and slightly fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl; let cool.
  • Lightly season salmon all over with salt. Place skin side down in an unheated cast-iron skillet. Set skillet over medium heat and cook, undisturbed, 5 minutes. Press down lightly on salmon with a fish spatula to ensure all of the skin is making contact with the pan and continue to cook until flesh is opaque most of the way through (the top will still be translucent) and skin is crisp, about 5 minutes longer.
  • Using spatula, gently turn fillets over, then remove pan from heat. Continue to cook fish in residual heat left in pan until just barely cooked through, 1-3 minutes more, depending on thickness.
  • Spoon reserved sauce onto plates. Scoop some rice on top and set fillets, skin side up, on rice. Scatter scallions over and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
