GAMJA SALAD WITH CUCUMBER, CARROT AND RED ONION



Gamja Salad With Cucumber, Carrot and Red Onion image

Gamja ("potato") salad is likely to be included among a sea of other banchan at Korean restaurants, and is typically mounded on a plate using an ice cream scoop. It's similar to mashed potatoes in texture, mayo-laden like many potato salads, and studded with crunchy vegetables and hard-boiled egg. It's generally a restaurant food, but when home cooks do make it, the salad might be sandwiched between two slices of soft white bread and eaten for lunch. The world is your oyster when it comes to gamja salad: It may include apples, peas, corn kernels, raisins and even nuts, and you can add whatever you like and nix whatever you don't. But the cucumber is gibon ("standard"), and essential, because it adds a vegetal freshness that pulls this dish back from feeling heavy in any way.

Categories     dinner, snack, salads and dressings, vegetables, side dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 Kirby cucumber, deseeded and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1/2 medium red onion, very finely diced
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1 medium carrot, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 large russet potato (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into 2-inch cubes
1 large egg
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (preferably Hellmann's)
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the cucumber, red onion and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Set aside to sweat slightly.
  • Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the carrot and cook until tender-crisp, 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon or fine-mesh sieve and set aside.
  • Add the cubed potato and egg to the boiling water. Cook the egg for 10 minutes and the potatoes until fork-tender, 15 to 20 minutes. While the potato finishes cooking, run the hard-boiled egg under cold tap water. Peel the egg, finely chop it, then add it to a medium bowl. When the potato is cooked, transfer to the bowl with the egg and mash with a fork until uniform.
  • Add the mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar to the mashed potato mixture and stir to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Squeeze the salted cucumber and red onion with your hands (discarding any liquid), and fold them into the potato and egg mixture along with the cooked carrot.
  • To serve, scoop the potato salad onto a plate using an ice cream scoop, and eat warm or at room temperature. (To store for later, transfer to a resealable container and keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. This salad even tastes great cold, straight out of the fridge.)

HUMMUS-CRUSTED ALASKAN WILD KING SALMON OVER A BED OF FRENCH BEANS, RED ONION, AND CUCUMBER SALAD WITH LEMON OIL



Hummus-Crusted Alaskan Wild King Salmon Over a Bed of French Beans, Red Onion, and Cucumber Salad with Lemon Oil image

Provided by Sandy Ingber

Categories     Bean     Fish     Broil     Mother's Day     Dinner     Lemon     Salmon     Cucumber     Chickpea     Advance Prep Required     Pescatarian     Dairy Free

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 28

For the lemon oil
2 lemons, scrubbed
4 garlic cloves, sliced
2 tablespoons sliced shallots
1 1/4 cups olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch of coarse grind black pepper
For the hummus
1 1/4 cups canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons tahini
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch of coarse grind black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
For the salad
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and sliced
1/2 red onion, cut into thin half-moons
1/4 pound haricots verts (thin green beans), blanched and refreshed in cold water
4 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
For the fish
5 tablespoons fine-ground cornmeal
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
4 (9- to 10-ounce) wild king salmon fillets, skin on
Soybean oil
Kosher salt
4 teaspoons panko or coarse dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • To make the Lemon Oil:
  • Cut the lemons in half and squeeze the juice into a small saucepan. Drop in the juiced lemon halves and add the garlic, shallots, oil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 30 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate overnight. (If you haven't planned ahead, just let the oil sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.) Strain the oil, pressing down hard on the solids before discarding them. Taste for salt. Lemon oil will keep, covered and refrigerated, for 2 weeks.
  • To make the Hummus:
  • Put the chickpeas, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and pepper into a food processor and pulse until the chickpeas are coarsely chopped. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Turn the processor on again and drizzle in the oil. Process until the hummus is smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Scrape the hummus into a bowl, cover it, and set it aside at room temperature until needed, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Bring the hummus back to room temperature before you use it.
  • To make the Salad:
  • Combine the cucumber, onion, and haricots verts in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
  • To make the Fish:
  • Position an oven rack 6 inches from the broiler and heat the broiler. Brush a baking sheet with oil and slide it under the broiler to heat for 5 minutes.
  • Put the cornmeal, flour, and sea salt in a shallow bowl and whisk to combine. Dip the skin side of the salmon into the breading mix and set it, skin side down, on the baking sheet. Brush the fish with oil and salt it lightly. Broil the fish for 1 1/2 minutes. Change the oven setting to 500°F and bake the fish for 7 1/2 minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Adjust the oven rack so it's about 3 inches from the broiler and turn the broiler back on. Spread the top of each fillet with one-quarter of the hummus. Use the back of a spoon to make peaks in the hummus (the uneven surface will give you better browning), and sprinkle each fillet with 1 teaspoon panko. Slide the baking sheet back into the oven and broil until the hummus is browned, about 2 1/2 minutes.
  • To serve, divide the salad among 4 dinner plates, spreading it out in the center of each plate. Sprinkle each salad with 1 teaspoon parsley and drizzle with 1/4 cup lemon oil. Set the salmon on top of the salad and serve.
