Edamame Salmon And Pasta Salad Food

SALMON PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• If using canned salmon, pick the salmon meat from the bones and skin and set aside. If using cooked fresh salmon, break into large, bite-sized pieces.
• The cooked pasta will be added to the dressing while it is still hot so make the dressing and prepare the vegetables before cooking the pasta.
• Make the dressing in a very large bowl by combining the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, vinegar, sugar, celery salt, pepper and garlic powder.
• Measure out and prepare the rest of the ingredients.
• Place a large pot of salted water on to boil and cook the pasta to al dente.
• Just before pouring the pasta into a colander, add the frozen peas to the water then immediately pour the pasta and peas to drain into the colander.
• Shake off as much water as possible and dab the pasta with paper towels to soak up any last drops.
• *Pour the hot pasta and peas into the large bowl that has the dressing and gentle toss to combine.
• Add the red bell pepper and the onions and toss again.
• Finally add the cooked salmon and gently fold to combine without breaking up the salmon too much.
• Pour the mixture onto a sheet tray in a single layer* and place in the refrigerator uncovered for a quick cool down.
• After an hour, remove the tray from the refrigerator and pour into a large serving bowl and refrigerate again until completely chilled, about 1-2 more hours.
• Serve as a cold entrée over a bed of lettuce or as a side dish with a grilled meat.

HONEY SOY GRILLED SALMON WITH EDAMAME

Steps:

• Preheat the grill over medium-high direct heat. Oil the grill grates. Finely chop the cilantro and scallion and mix in the oil and ginger. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cut two 3-inch long slits through the skin lengthwise on the bottom of the salmon fillets, going about halfway into the salmon. Evenly stuff the slits with the herb mixture. Season the fish with salt and pepper.
• Stir together the lime juice, soy and honey until smooth. Place the salmon, skin side up, on the grill and cook until well marked, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the salmon and continue to cook, brushing the tops with the sauce, until the fish is cooked through, about another 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle the tops with the sesame seeds. Serve with edamame and lime wedges.
• Broiler directions: Position an oven rack so that a baking sheet set on the rack is about 4-inches below the heat source. Preheat the broiler. Prepare the salmon as above and place the fillets, skin down, on a foil lined baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Broil, basting 3 to 4 times with the sauce, until just cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes.
