Grilled Candied Garlic Salmon On Crispy Rice Noodles And Baby Asian Greens Food

ASIAN GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Light charcoal briquettes in a grill and brush the grilling rack with oil to keep the salmon from sticking.
• While the grill is heating, lay the salmon skin side down on a cutting board and cut it crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Whisk together the mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic in a small bowl. Drizzle half of the marinade onto the salmon and allow it to sit for 10 minutes.
• Place the salmon skin side down on the hot grill; discard the marinade the fish was sitting in. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Turn carefully with a wide spatula and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes. The salmon will be slightly raw in the center, but don't worry; it will keep cooking as it sits.
• Transfer the fish to a flat plate, skin side down, and spoon the reserved marinade on top. Allow the fish to rest for 10 minutes. Remove the skin and serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

SALMON WITH SESAME, SOY & GINGER NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. In a small jug, whisk together the soy, rice wine or mirin, stem ginger and syrup, and garlic. Line a roasting tin with baking parchment and put the salmon in it. Pour over half the sauce, then bake for 15 mins until the salmon is cooked through.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the noodles and cook following pack instructions, then drain well.
• In a small frying pan, lightly toast the sesame seeds for 1 min, then add to the cooked noodles (reserving a sprinkle for the top). Pour the remaining sauce over the noodles, plus any from the roasting tin, and toss together. Serve with the salmon, scattered with the chopped spring onions and remaining sesame seeds.

GRILLED MISO SALMON WITH RICE NOODLES

Steps:

• Boil the noodles for 3 mins in a large pan, drain and rinse under cold water through a sieve and set aside to drain completely.
• Heat the grill to high. Mix together the miso paste, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce and paprika to make the miso glaze and brush over the salmon fillets with a pastry brush. Lay the salmon skin side down on a greased baking tray and grill for 6-8 mins until just cooked through.
• Heat the oil in a wok and stir-fry the garlic, ginger, spring onions and chillies for a couple of mins until soft, then add the cooked noodles, beansprouts and coriander. Toss everything together until well combined and turn off the heat. To finish, stir the fish sauce into the stir-fried vegetables and noodles, then pile onto plates, topping with the salmon.

CRISPY ASIAN SALMON WITH STIR-FRIED NOODLES, PAK CHOI & SUGAR SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Make the marinade by mixing together all the ingredients. Place the salmon fillets in a small bowl and spoon over the marinade, turning the fish so that it's nicely coated. Cover with cling film and leave to sit for 10 mins (or longer if you have time).
• Meanwhile, cook the noodles following pack instructions, then drain and sit them in a bowl of cold water.
• Heat a non-stick frying pan. Add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and leave for 3 mins. When the fish is slightly crispy, flip over and cook for a further 3 mins on the other side. Just before you remove the fish from the pan, add any remaining marinade and let it sizzle for 10 secs. Place 2 of the fillets, skin-side up, with their juices on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Put the other 2 fillets on another plate if using for Flaked salmon salad (see 'goes well with'), cover with foil, leave to cool, then chill.
• In a frying pan or wok, heat the rapeseed and sesame oils over a high heat. Add the spring onion, garlic, chilli and ginger, and stir constantly for about 1 min. Add the sugar snap peas, pak choi and pepper, and stir for another 1-2 mins, then add the cooked noodles. Toss well, then add the soy sauce, fish sauce and lime juice, and mix until well combined and the pan is sizzling.
• Remove from the heat and divide between 2 bowls. Top each with a salmon fillet and drizzle over any juices. Sprinkle with coriander and serve.
