Asian Style Salmon Or Tofu Food

ASIAN GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Combine the Marinade ingredients in a shallow bowl. Add salmon and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
• Heat grill/broiler on high. Place the rack 25 cm / 10" from the heat source.
• Place salmon on baking tray (no oil required). Scrape all the excess glaze from the bowl onto the salmon.
• Grill/broil for 7 to 10 minutes, until the top of the salmon is beautifully caramelised. Be careful not to overcook the salmon!
• Serve salmon sprinkled with sesame seeds, scallions/shallots with rice and steamed Asian greens on the side.

SOY GINGER SALMON

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Place a large cast-iron skillet or other sturdy, ovenproof skillet on a burner set to high and heat for at least 10 minutes. You want the pan screaming hot or the salmon will stick to it.
• In a small saucepan, stir together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium high, then remove from heat and stir in the honey and chili paste. Remove a few spoonfuls of the cooked glaze in a separate bowl for serving.
• Drizzle the salmon with the olive oil and brush so that it is evenly coated. Place the salmon skin-side up on the hot skillet. Let cook for about 3 minutes, totally undisturbed, until the salmon forms a nice crust. When the salmon turns opaque on the sides and starts to turn opaque on top, use a flexible spatula to flip the salmon so that it is skin-side down. Brush or spoon the remaining glaze in the saucepan all over the top. Place the skillet immediately into the oven and let cook for 6 minutes (the salmon will appear a little undercooked in the center but will finish cooking as it rests). Remove from the oven and cover with foil. Let rest 4 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately, topped with reserved glaze, chopped green onion, and sesame seeds.

CHINESE-STYLE FLAVORFUL SALMON

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients.
• Cut salmon into bite-size pieces and sprinkle with 1 tsp salt and let sit for 5 minutes. Remove any excess moisture from the fish by patting with paper towels. Lightly coat the fish with flour, shaking off excess flour.
• Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Over medium heat, fry both sides of the fish for 2-3 mins on each side until the salmon skin becomes crispy.
• Pour off excess oil from frying pan. Add the sauce and fold the sauce over until the fish is evenly coated.
• Serve, garnishing with cilantro.
