Chili Rubbed Salmon With Papaya And Scallions Food

CHILI-RUBBED SALMON WITH PAPAYA AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, coriander, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper. Rub the garlic onto the flesh side of the salmon; then rub the chili-powder mixture over the garlic. Set aside for 30 minutes.
• Heat grill or grill pan to medium high. Drizzle salmon with oil; place on grill flesh-side down. Grill 3 minutes, being careful not to burn chili rub. Turn; grill until opaque and just cooked through, about 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine papaya and scallions. Place grilled fish on top of the Black Beans and Corn. Garnish with papaya mixture, and serve immediately with Vegetable-Salad Burritos.

CHILI AND SAGE-RUBBED SALMON

Steps:

• Make the paste: Combine the oil and garlic in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Place over low heat and cook until the garlic just barely begins to brown around the edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the ground coriander and cumin, and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the chili powder and black pepper and cook, stirring, 2 minutes longer. Add the sage and verjus, bring to a simmer, and cook until reduced and thickened to a paste, 1 to 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl, and cool completely before using.
• Use your fingers to coat the salmon all over with the cooled chili paste. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Wipe the paste from the salmon.
• Heat the oil over medium heat in a skillet large enough to hold all the salmon fillets. Sprinkle the salmon fillets with salt, place them in the pan, and cook gently until well browned and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the salmon to warm plates and serve immediately.

Preheat grill or broiler.
• Place salmon steaks on grill or under broiler and cook 4 minutes per side, or until fork-tender and cooked through.
• To make the salsa, place chile peppers on hot grill or under broiler and cook 4 minutes, turning frequently, until charred on all sides. Wrap peppers in plastic wrap and let stand 5 minutes. Remove skin from peppers, halve, seed, and cut into small dice-sized pieces. Transfer to a small bowl and add papaya and red onion. Set aside.
• When ready to serve, spoon salsa over salmon steaks.
