Pineapple Marinated Salmon With Asian Cabbage Salad Food

ASIAN GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Combine the Marinade ingredients in a shallow bowl. Add salmon and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
• Heat grill/broiler on high. Place the rack 25 cm / 10" from the heat source.
• Place salmon on baking tray (no oil required). Scrape all the excess glaze from the bowl onto the salmon.
• Grill/broil for 7 to 10 minutes, until the top of the salmon is beautifully caramelised. Be careful not to overcook the salmon!
• Serve salmon sprinkled with sesame seeds, scallions/shallots with rice and steamed Asian greens on the side.

SWEET AND SPICY PINEAPPLE SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.
• Lay salmon on foil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange pineapple slices around edges of salmon. Fold edges of foil up around the salmon and pineapple.
• In a small bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar and pineapple juice. Pour glaze over salmon.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes. Switch oven to broil and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until edges of salmon just begin to blacken.
• Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro before serving, if desired.

PINEAPPLE-MARINATED SALMON WITH ASIAN CABBAGE SALAD

Steps:

• Bring pineapple juice to boil in large saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until reduced to 3 cups, about 20 minutes. Transfer juice to bowl; cool. Stir soy sauce into marinade.
• Place fish in single layer in two 15x10x2-inch glass baking dishes. Pour pineapple marinade over fish, dividing equally. Cover and refrigerate 3 hours.
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray 2 large rimmed baking sheets with nonstick spray. Remove fish from marinade; shake off excess. Reserve marinade. Place fish, flat side down, on sheets. Bake until just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Using spatula, carefully transfer to platter.
• Meanwhile, simmer reserved marinade in medium saucepan over medium heat until reduced to 1 cup, about 15 minutes. Brush fish with marinade. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before serving.) Sprinkle with sesame seeds; serve with cabbage salad.

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.

QUICK ASIAN SALAD WITH SALMON

Steps:

• Heat broiler. Place salmon fillets on a rimmed baking sheet; season generously with salt and pepper. Broil until fish is just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. When cool enough to handle, cut into large chunks.
• In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, and honey; season with salt and pepper. Set aside 2 tablespoons dressing.
• To remaining dressing, add napa and red cabbage, carrots, onion, almonds, and apricots; toss.
• Divide salad among 4 plates; top with salmon. Drizzle reserved dressing over salmon.
