Grilled Salmon With Rye Panzanella Food

HEIRLOOM TOMATO AND GRILLED CORN PANZANELLA WITH SALMON

Steps:

• Whisk together the vinegar, mustard and honey in a small bowl. Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Put the tomatoes, corn, cucumbers and onions in a large bowl, add half of the dressing and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
• Brush the bread slices with the olive oil, season with salt and pepper and tear into pieces. Chop most of the basil leaves, reserving some whole leave for rubbing the salmon and as a garnish. Just before serving, add the bread and chopped basil to the tomato salad.
• Heat a charcoal or gas grill to medium high for direct grilling. Rub each salmon fillet on both sides with some of the basil leaves, brush with canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
• Put the salmon on a platter and drizzle each piece with a little of the remaining dressing. Top with the salad, drizzle with more of the dressing and garnish with basil leaves.

GRILLED SALMON WITH RYE PANZANELLA

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high; place a large cast-iron skillet on grates to preheat. In a large bowl, whisk together lemon zest and juice, mustard, and sugar. Whisk in 1/4 cup oil; season with salt and pepper. Lightly brush fennel and bread with oil. Grill directly on grates, turning often, until charred but still crisp, 1 to 2 minutes for bread, 3 to 4 minutes for fennel. Let cool slightly, then thinly slice fennel lengthwise and chop bread into bite-size pieces. Toss with dressing, cucumbers, and dill. Season with salt and pepper.
• Season fish on both sides with salt. Swirl remaining 1 tablespoon oil in skillet, then add fish, skin-side down; cover grill. Cook until skin crisps and fish is just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve, skin-side up, alongside panzanella.

GRILLED SUMMER PANZANELLA

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or large grill pan for medium heat. Clean and oil the grill grates.
• Grill the corn, turning often to char all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly before cutting the kernels from the cobs. Transfer the kernels to a large bowl.
• Cut the bread into 1 1/2-inch-thick slices. Liberally drizzle both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Working in batches if needed, grill until charred and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board, cut into 1-inch cubes and put in the bowl with the corn.
• Cut the tomatoes. If using large heirlooms cut into 1/2-inch dice. If using grape or cherry heirlooms, halve the smaller ones and quarter the larger ones. Transfer to the bowl with the corn and bread, along with the cucumbers, basil, chives and vinegar. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and taste for seasoning, adding more vinegar if needed. Serve immediately.
