Grilled Asparagus And Wild Salmon Food

GRILLED SALMON AND ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium high heat.
• Prepare the salmon and asparagus by drizzling with olive oil, and sprinkling with salt and pepper. Be sure to brush the olive oil evenly to cover the entire surface of the salmon.
• Place the salmon on the grill, skin side up. Add the asparagus to the grill. Cook 6-8 minutes, then carefully flip the salmon using a thin spatula. Rotate the asparagus to ensure that it cooks evenly. Cook the salmon for an additional 5-6 minutes with the skin side down, then remove the salmon and asparagus from the grill.
• To make the lemon garlic butter, whisk together the melted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Pour the butter over the cooked salmon and asparagus, and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

THE BEST GRILLED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat. Chop the tough, woody ends off the asparagus (about 1 inch) and peel another inch of the stalks.
• Whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Add the asparagus and toss until well coated.
• Put the asparagus on the grill at an angle so the stalks don't fall through the grates. Grill, flipping halfway through cooking, until the asparagus begin to char, the pointy ends start to crisp and the stalks are just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a platter and sprinkle with the feta and mint.

WILD SALMON, ASPARAGUS, AND SHIITAKES IN PARCHMENT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Cut four 12-by-17-inch pieces of parchment. Fold each in half crosswise to make a crease, then unfold and lay flat. Toss mushrooms, asparagus, and scallions with oil in a large bowl. Sprinkle with lemon zest and season with salt and pepper.
• Remove asparagus from mixture and divide evenly among parchment pieces, creating a bed of spears on 1 side of crease. Top each with 1 piece of fish, then with mushroom mixture. Drizzle each serving with 1 tablespoon water. To close, fold parchment pieces over each serving; make small overlapping pleats to seal the open sides and create 4 half-moon-shaped packets.
• Bake packets on 2 baking sheets 9 minutes. Carefully cut open packets with kitchen shears (steam will be released). Serve fish, asparagus, and mushrooms with lemon wedges for squeezing.

ANNE'S FABULOUS GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Make a pan out of aluminum foil by doubling up layers of foil large enough to hold your fillet. Place the foil onto a cookie sheet. Lay the fillet onto the foil with the skin side down. In a small bowl, stir together the oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, ginger, honey, basil and shallots. Pour over the salmon and let it marinate while you preheat the grill, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat a grill for medium-low heat. Slide the foil with the salmon off of the cookie sheet and onto the grill. Cover with the lid and grill the fillet for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, about 20 minutes. Salmon should be able to flake with a fork, but not be too dry. When you serve the salmon, the skin will stick to the foil and your grill will remain clean. Simply slice and use a spatula to scoop the fillet off of the skin to serve.

POACHED SALMON & ASPARAGUS WITH WILD GARLIC MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• For the mayonnaise, bring a pan of water to the boil and have a bowl of iced water ready. Plunge the garlic leaves into the boiling water for 30 secs, then lift out with a slotted spoon and drop into the iced water - this helps to keep the green colour. Leave for a few mins, then pat dry and put in a mini food processor with the egg yolks and mustard. Pulse until finely chopped, then scrape into a big mixing bowl. Pour the oils into a jug.
• Whisk the yolks mixture with an electric whisk. Slowly add the oil, first a drip at a time, then in a steady, thin drizzle - the mixture should thicken and start to look like mayonnaise. If at any point it starts to look greasy, add 1 tbsp cold water and continue whisking until all the oil has been added and you have a thick mayonnaise. Add the vinegar and season with salt and white pepper. Lay cling film directly onto the surface of the mayonnaise so a skin doesn't form, then chill. Will keep for 3 days in the fridge.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put a large sheet of baking parchment in a large roasting tin and arrange the asparagus in a line that's long enough for the salmon to sit on. Season, put the salmon on top and scatter over the lemon zest. Thinly slice the remaining lemon and put the slices on top of the salmon with the butter. Pour over the lemon juice and season. Bring the sides of the parchment up and over the salmon and scrunch together to seal, creating a tent over the fish. Bake in the oven for 30 mins.
• Bring the roasting tin to the table, open the parcel, and serve with a bowl of wild garlic mayonnaise and some new potatoes on the side.

BROILED SALMON AND ASPARAGUS WITH HERBS

Steps:

• In a medium serving bowl, toss together the herbs, scallions, red-pepper flakes, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Season with more lemon or oil as needed until the leaves look glossy. Set aside.
• Heat the broiler with a rack 6 inches from the heat source.
• In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and mustard until smooth. Add the asparagus to a large sheet pan, toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, then season well with salt and pepper. Move the asparagus to the sides, and place the salmon skin side down in the center. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, brush the tops and sides with the soy mixture, then toss the asparagus in the rest of the soy mixture. (Use a paper towel to wipe off excess soy on the sheet pan, as it will smoke.)
• Broil until the salmon is opaque with a deep brown crust, about 6 to 8 minutes for medium rare, and 8 to 10 minutes for medium, depending on the strength of your broiler and the thickness of the salmon. (Reduce cooking time by 1 to 2 minutes for thinner fillets.) If it looks like it's browning too quickly or smoking excessively, move to a lower rack to finish cooking. Top the salmon and asparagus with the herb salad or serve on the side with a final round of pepper.

GRILLED SALMON AND ASPARAGUS SALAD

Steps:

• Sprinkle the salmon on both sides with the canola oil, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Light a grill with a very clean rack and heat it until very hot.
• Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a large skillet and add the asparagus in one layer. Cover, bring to a boil and boil gently for about 3 minutes, until most of the water has evaporated. Drain the asparagus and set it aside, uncovered, so it will cool without discoloring.
• Cut the tomatoes crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Divide the slices among six plates and, leaving space in the center and around the edge of each plate, arrange the tomatoes in a slightly overlapping circular pattern. Divide the onion rings among the plates and arrange them on top of the tomatoes.
• In a bowl, mix together the dressing ingredients and dribble the dressing over the tomatoes and onions on the plates. (This can be done up to 1 hour ahead.)
• When ready to serve, place the salmon on the grill and cook, covered (if your grill has a lid) for about 2 1/2 minutes on each side, or for about 3 minutes, uncovered, on each side. Transfer the salmon to a serving plate and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before carving. (While resting, it will continue to cook in its own residual heat. It should be somewhat rare in the center.)
• With the asparagus pieces, create a border around the tomatoes and onions. Cut the salmon into 1/2-inch slices and arrange them in the center of the plates. Sprinkle with tarragon and serve immediately.
