Erich — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 05:03:59 +0000

Ingredients

1/4 cup mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
4 4-oz pieces of salmon, cut from the thick part of the fillet
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1-2 scallions, halved and shredded into fine strips

Preparation

1. Mix the mirin, brown sugar and soy sauce in a shallow dish that will hold all 4 pieces of salmon, and marinate the salmon in it for 3 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the second. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet on the stove.

2. Cook the salmon in the hot, dry pan for 2 minutes and then turn it over, add the marinade and cook for another 2 minutes.

3. Remove the salmon to whatever plate you’re serving it on, add the rice vinegar to the hot pan, and warm through.

4. Pour the dark, sweet, salty glaze over the salmon and top with the scallion strips. Serve with rice or noodles as you wish, and consider putting some sushi ginger on the table, too.

Serves 4

Baked Salmon Piccata

Erich — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 11:33:16 +0000

4 salmon steaks, 1-inch thick
All-purpose flour for dredging
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons butter, divided
3 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 heaping tablespoon drained capers
1/8 teaspoon dried Italian seasonings, crushed
1/2 cup white wine
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons beef broth

Preheat oven to 400 F. Wash salmon, pat dry, and roll in flour.

In a large ovenproof frying pan or sauté pan, heat 1/4 cup butter until it melts. Briefly saute the salmon, browning both sides.

Bake, covered, 10 to 15 minutes until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 140 F or until salmon is slightly opaque in thickest part (cut to test). NOTE: During this time the meat continues to cook (meat temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees after it is removed from the oven) and the juices redistribute. Remove from oven. Reserve liquid in the pan and transfer salmon onto a warm serving platter.

Approximate cooking times for salmon:

1/4 to 1/3-inch – 3 to 4 minutes
1/2 to 3/4-inch – 4 to 6 minutes
1 to 1 1/2-inch – 8 to 12 minutes

Using the same pan over medium heat, stir together onion, garlic, capers, and Italian seasonings into the reserved liquid; simmer for 5 minutes. Add white wine, lemon juice, and beef broth; stir until well blended. turn off heat, whisk in 3 tablespoons butter until blended. Remove from heat, pour sauce over salmon, and serve immediately.

Makes 4 servings.

Slowly Steamed Salmon over Vegetables

Erich — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 12:27:51 +0000

(2 servings)

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce (Trader Joe’s Soyaki works great!)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground ginger (powder ginger is best)
1/4 cup orange juice
1 large fillet of fresh salmon
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 large garlic cloves
2 long carrots, sliced
1 cup shelled soy beans
12 cherry tomatoes halved
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
4-5 thin lemon slices

Directions:
1. Put salmon in a plastic zip lock bag. Add teriyaki sauce, minced garlic, ground ginger, and orange juice. Seal bag and gently mix the ingredients making sure to cover the entire salmon. Place bag in refrigerator and let salmon marinate for at least 20 minutes and no longer than 1 hour.
2. Slice the carrots, halve the tomatoes, and chop the garlic to chunks. (If you are using frozen soy beans, this would be a good time to let them thaw).
3. Heat olive oil in pan on medium heat.
4. Add garlic, carrots and soy beans evenly dispersed to pan. Make room in the center for the salmon fillet.
5. Add salmon, skin side down in center of pan.
6. Add halved tomatoes around the salmon
7. Sprinkle the fennel seeds on top of the salmon.
8. Place the lemon slices on top of the salmon.
9. Let cook uncovered for about 4 minutes.
10. Cover (if you don’t have a cover for your pan, you can use a baking pan or even a large piece of foil) and let the salmon steam with the vegetable on medium low heat for about 20 min.
11. When ready, a knife should be able to go in smoothly and the salmon should be tender. It should be a light pink in color. The idea is to remove the salmon from the heat before it becomes dried out and flaky.
