Lime And Honey Glazed Salmon With Basmati And Broccolini Food

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.

STICKY SOY SALMON WITH BROCCOLINI AND LIME RICE

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.

HONEY GLAZED SALMON WITH BROWNED BUTTER LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• Working in batches of two salmon fillets at a time (or using two skillets, because you don't want to overcrowd the salmon when cooking it on the stove-top so it cooks more evenly), place salmon fillets on a cutting board or plate and sprinkle 1 teaspoon flour over each side of the salmon fillets and spread flour to evenly coat.
• Evenly drizzle 3/4 teaspoon honey over each side of the flour coated salmon fillets. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil into a 10 inch non-stick or cast iron skillet, swirl pan to evenly coat bottom and heat over medium heat. Once oil it hot, carefully place salmon in pan and cook over medium heat, 3-5 minutes per side until salmon has cooked through and bottom has nicely browned.
• Plate salmon immediately, drizzle each fillet with 1 1/2 - 2 tablespoon Browned Butter Lime Sauce and sprinkle with lime zest. Serve warm.
• To Make The Browned Butter Lime Sauce: Place butter in a small (light colored to monitor browning) saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring pan constantly, until butter is fragrant and has turned a brownish coloring. Careful not to burn.
• Remove browned butter from heat and add it, along with lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper to a blender. Blend on low speed for about 30 seconds, until well blended. Pour sauce into a small glass dish (note: whisk butter mixture with a fork before pouring onto salmon as it will separate, rewarm if needed).
