Salmon And Avacodo Sesame Soy Food

SOY-GLAZED SALMON WITH CUCUMBER-AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mix the honey, 2 teaspoons soy sauce and the cornstarch in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until just simmering, 30 to 40 seconds.
• Rub the fish fillets all over with 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil and season lightly with salt. Place the fish in a baking dish and bake 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with the honey-soy sauce mixture. Return the fish to the oven and continue baking until just cooked through, 7 to 9 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the rice vinegar, mayonnaise and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon each soy sauce and sesame oil in a large bowl. Add the cucumber, scallions and 1/4 teaspoon salt and toss. Gently fold in the avocado. Serve the salmon with the salad and pickled ginger.

SALMON POKE-STUFFED AVOCADOS

Steps:

• Toast the white sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring, until lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Remove, then toast the black sesame seeds in the skillet; remove and set aside.
• Toss the salmon, onion, soy sauce, chili-garlic sauce, white sesame seeds, sesame oil and ginger in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
• Halve and pit the avocados, then carefully remove the peel with your fingers. Cut shallow cross-hatch marks into the center of each avocado half (this will make it easier to eat). Squeeze the lemon over the avocados and season with salt. Sprinkle the cut sides of the avocados with the black sesame seeds, gently pressing to adhere. Fill the centers of the avocados with the salmon poke and top with sliced radishes and scallions. Serve immediately.

SALMON-AVOCADO POKE BOWLS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss salmon with soy sauce, sambal olek, sesame oil, ginger and salt. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Divide rice between 4 bowls and top each with a quarter of the salmon and a quarter of the avocado. Sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds and serve.

SESAME SALMON BOWLS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar and salt; stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the rice and 1 3/4 cups water, and mix well. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
• In a small bowl, toss salmon with 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil and season with salt. Once rice is tender (after about 20 minutes), arrange salmon in an even layer on top of rice. Cover and steam over low heat until fish is cooked to medium, about 12 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine soy sauce, white vinegar, safflower oil, scallions, ginger and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil. Mix well, and season with salt.
• Scoop salmon and rice into bowls. Top each with some cucumbers, coleslaw mix and avocado. Drizzle with the vinaigrette. Top with nori, if using.

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. In a small jug, whisk together the soy, rice wine or mirin, stem ginger and syrup, and garlic. Line a roasting tin with baking parchment and put the salmon in it. Pour over half the sauce, then bake for 15 mins until the salmon is cooked through.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the noodles and cook following pack instructions, then drain well.
• In a small frying pan, lightly toast the sesame seeds for 1 min, then add to the cooked noodles (reserving a sprinkle for the top). Pour the remaining sauce over the noodles, plus any from the roasting tin, and toss together. Serve with the salmon, scattered with the chopped spring onions and remaining sesame seeds.

• Thinly slice the salmon and arrange on a platter with the sliced avocado. Drizzle over the lemon juice and soy, making sure everything is evenly covered. Leave in the fridge to marinate for 10 mins.
• Carefully tip the juices from the salmon platter into the rice, then stir in with a little salt. Divide the rice between 4 bowls. Scatter the sesame seeds, spring onions, chilli and coriander over the salmon and avocado, then serve with the rice.
