Kincaids Grilled King Salmon With Seasonal Greens Artichoke Tartar Food

THE ONLY GRILLED SALMON RECIPE YOU'LL EVER NEED

Steps:

• Brush your grill with a wire brush to remove any food particles, and coat or spray the grill with cooking oil. Preheat the grill to medium-high (400 to 450 degrees F).
• Mix together the seasoning and salt in a small bowl until well-combined. Drizzle the fish with olive oil and use your hands to gently coat the full surface of the flesh. Sprinkle the seasoning blend over the fish. NOTE: If you're performing this step ahead of time, store salmon in a seal-able container or plastic bag in the refrigerator until you're ready to grill.
• Place the salmon fillet on the grill skin side down (I put it over the hottest part of the grill) and cover. Cook for 3 to 6 minutes, or until the skin is super crispy and fish is opaque. Carefully flip and cook an additional 2 to 4 minutes, or until salmon reaches desired done-ness. For rare-in-the-center salmon, cook about 2 minutes per side. Adjust the grill time up for salmon fillets that are thicker than 1 inch.
• Transfer salmon to a serving platter and serve with grilled zucchini salsa!
• Grill the zucchini and yellow squash while you're grilling the fish. To do so, cut the zucchini into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick rounds, lightly coat with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place zucchini on the grill and cook until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip and cook on the other side until grill marks appear, another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and chop when cool enough to handle.
• Transfer the chopped grilled zucchini and yellow squash to a mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients for the salsa and toss until well-combined.

PAN-SEARED SALMON WITH ARTICHOKES AND WHITE WINE

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets evenly with the salt and place each fillet flesh-side down in the hot skillet. Cook until deep golden brown, about 3 minutes. Sear the sides of the fillets for 1 minute on each side. Using a fish spatula, flip the fillets so the skin side is down and cook an additional 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and the oregano sprigs to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Baste the salmon fillets with the infused butter for 1 minute. Remove the salmon and oregano sprigs to a plate to rest.
• In the same skillet over medium heat, add the artichoke hearts and shallots. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the shallots are softened and the artichokes are beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the chopped oregano and tomatoes and stir to combine. Deglaze the skillet with the white wine and allow the wine to cook down until reduced by half. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the spinach. Cook until the spinach is just barely wilted. Spoon the vegetables onto a platter and top with the rested salmon. Spoon any remaining sauce over the fish and serve.

• 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.

Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the salmon, cracker crumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon, salt, pepper, egg and lemon zest and juice. Mix with your hands until evenly combined. Shape into patties (I use 1/2 cup per patty, making 8). Place on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Cook the patties (do not overcrowd the pan -- I do 4 at a time) until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to cook the second batch.

The fish should look cooked up the sides of the fillets. Carefully flip the fish and cook an additional minute or until a thin metal skewer inserted in the thickest part comes out warm when touched to your bottom lip. Using a slotted spatula, remove the fish to a plate to rest.
• Return the pan to medium heat and add the shallot and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, adding more oil if needed. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant and soft, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, capers and lemon zest. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly. Whisk in the butter and mustard until smooth and combined. Stir in the parsley and spoon the sauce over the salmon.

Steps:

• Preparation ARTICHOKE TARTAR PROCEDURES: Combine and blend all ingredients together. Store refrigerated until needed. GRILLED SALMON PREPARATION (20 minutes): Fire up the charcoal grill to the proper cooking temperature (500-600 degrees). To minimize grill sticking, brush grates completely free of any carbon buildup and "season" grates by brushing the surface with vegetable oil. NOTE: An over-fired range broiler can also be used if a charcoal grill is not available. Baste the salmon fillets with olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Grill salmon until cooked through, but still moist and flaky (approximately 6-8 minutes). Turn and bast salmon with olive oil half way through the grilling process. Meanwhile, lightly baste artichokes halves with olive oil and place on grill to warm through. Remove and keep salmon fillets and artichokes warm from plating. Meanwhile, toss to dress the seasonal greens, gorgonzola crumbles and red onions, with the olive oil and raspberry vinegar. Mound the dressed greens on serving plates, lay the grilled salmon over the greens. Fill the artichoke halves with artichoke tartar and place along side of the salmon. Serve with lemon slices.
