Honey Pickled Salmon Food

SALMON WITH HOT SAUCE VINAIGRETTE AND PICKLED VEG

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F. Place salmon, skin side down, on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and coat flesh lightly with oil. Bake until just cooked through (flesh will flake easily but still be slightly firm in the very center), 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place daikon or whatever vegetables you're using in a small bowl and season with salt. Massage gently with your hands to soften. Drain off any liquid that forms. Add vinegar and toss to coat. Cover and chill until ready to use (this will help vegetables stay firm).
• Whisk hot sauce, lime juice, and 2 Tbsp. oil in a small bowl. Season vinaigrette with salt.
• Divide rice among bowls. Break up salmon into pieces and arrange on top. Drizzle vinaigrette over. Add cilantro and chives to vegetables; spoon over salmon.

PICKLED SALMON

Steps:

• Rinse salmon, pat dry, and cut into 3/4 inch pieces.
• Spread fish in a single layer on a piece of wax or in a shallow glass baking dish.
• Sprinkle with the 1 tablespoon salt and let stand, uncovered for 30 minutes.
• Rinse fish well and pat dry.
• While salmon is standing, combine vinegar, water, oil, spices and 1 teaspoon salt in a 2-3 quart pan.
• Bring to a boil over high heat; then reduce heat, partially cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Layer fish chunks and onions in a 2 quart wide-mouth jar or bowl.
• Pour the simmering pickling liquid over the fish and onions, cover loosely, and let cool.
• When cool, cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours or up to a week.
• Transfer fish and onions with some of the liquid to a serving bowl and provide picks for spearing.

THE BEST HONEY-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with cooking spray if you plan on eating the salmon skin. (If you do not plan on eating the skin, you can skip this step.) Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Whisk together the honey, lime zest, and juice in a small bowl. Remove 2 tablespoons of the mixture to another small bowl and set aside. Brush the remaining honey-lime mixture over top of the salmon fillets.
• Combine the brown sugar, cumin, paprika, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Press the brown sugar mixture all over the salmon (about 1 heaping teaspoon on each portion). Crimp all 4 sides of the foil to create a border around the salmon to help collect the juices so they don't spread and burn. Bake until the glaze is shiny and turning golden in some spots, and the salmon is firm and flakes easily when pressed, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Drizzle the reserved honey-lime mixture over top of the salmon just before serving.

MISO SALMON GRAIN BOWLS

Steps:

• For the salmon marinade: Whisk together the rice vinegar, honey, miso, soy sauce, sesame oil and sriracha in a non-reactive container large enough to fit the salmon snugly. Add the salmon and turn to coat. Let marinate, turning occasionally, at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
• To cook the salmon: Heat the oil in a medium non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and add to the skillet, skin-side down. Reserve the marinade. Cook until the skin is golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the salmon is just cooked through, about 3 minutes more, depending on thickness. Pour the reserved marinade into the pan and cook 1 to 2 minutes, spooning over the fish to glaze. Remove the salmon on a plate to avoid overcooking. (The salmon can be made up to a day ahead and served warm, room temp or cold from the fridge.)
• To assemble the bowls: Spoon the Farro (recipe follows) into 4 serving bowls. Add a piece of salmon into each bowl and gently break open the salmon into large chunks. Top with a spoonful of Pickled Vegetables (recipe follows). Garnish with a squirt of mayo, a drizzle of sriracha, crushed arare crackers, cilantro, scallions, sesame seeds and a lemon wedge on the side.
• Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to boil. Add the farro. Bring to a simmer and cook until the farro is tender but still has a bit of chew, 25 to 35 minutes depending on the brand. Drain well. Return to the saucepan and add the olive oil, sesame oil and salt and toss to combine. Taste and season with more salt, if needed. (Farro can be made up to a day ahead and served at room temperature.)
• Combine the cucumbers, radishes and red onion in a medium bowl. Combine the vinegar, sugar, salt, ginger and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook just until the salt and sugar dissolve. Add the ice cubes to melt and cool down the pickling liquid. Pour over the vegetables. Refrigerate until chilled, 30 minutes or more. (The quick pickled vegetables can be made up to a day ahead.)

Steps:

• For the lime rice: Cook the rice according to the package instructions and keep warm.
• For the salmon: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and heat until the oil shimmers. Add the salmon flesh-side down and sear until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk together the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic and lime juice in a bowl.
• Turn the fish over and add the soy mixture to the bottom of the pan. Bring the soy mixture to a simmer and spoon over the top of the salmon as it cooks until cook through, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a pot of water with a steamer insert to the boil over high heat. Add the broccolini, cover and steam until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove the fish to a plate. Add the lime slices to the skillet and simmer until the glaze is super sticky, about 3 minutes more.
• Add the lime zest to the rice and stir. Tip onto a platter. Arrange the broccolini on top and place the salmon, glaze and lime slices on the broccolini, then sprinkle over the cilantro.
