Salmon En Papillote With Ginger Soy Food

SESAME-GINGER SALMON EN PAPILLOTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the orange zest, ginger, soy sauce, orange juice, vinegar, sesame oil and honey together in a small bowl; set aside.
• Fold 4 (16 by-12-inch) parchment paper squares in 1/2 lengthwise.
• Evenly divide the bok choy, bell peppers, and bean sprouts among the 4 parchment packets. Season the vegetables with 1 tablespoon sesame-ginger marinade. Place a salmon fillet on top of the vegetables and season with the black pepper and an additional tablespoon of the marinade.
• Fold the top half of the parchment over the fish, and overlap small folds along the open edge to seal. Brush each packet with olive oil. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the parchment paper puffs up.
• Transfer the parchment packets to plates. Carefully cut the packets open, avoiding the hot steam, and serve.

SALMON EN PAPILLOTE

Steps:

• For the salmon: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Bring a pot of water to a boil and season with salt.
• Put the canola oil in a pan set over medium-high heat. Season the fennel with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the fennel and cook on one side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, cook the potato slices in the boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain and set aside.
• Cut 4 pieces of parchment paper into large heart shapes, then fold in half. Lift one side of each parchment heart, put some fennel in the center of the bottom half of each, then shingle the potatoes on top and follow with a piece of salmon. Top each salmon piece with a quarter of the white wine, butter, tarragon and shallots. Season with salt and pepper.
• Begin to close the parchment pieces by crimping the edges in small folds, continuing to fold over part of the previous fold, until the packets are completely closed. Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, depending on your desired doneness.
• For the tapenade: While the salmon is in the oven, combine the olives, capers, anchovy and garlic in a bowl. Add the olive oil, lemon juice and honey and mix until combined. Finish with the minced parsley.
• Open the packets at the table and top each with a spoonful of the tapenade.

INSTANT POT SOY-GINGER SALMON

Steps:

• Add the soy sauce, lime zest and juice, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger and pepper to the bowl insert of a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot®. Set to high saute for 3 minutes (see Cook's Note), stirring the sauce with a wooden spoon to combine. Add the salmon fillets, turning them to coat with the sauce (it's fine it they overlap).
• Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on low for 1 minute. After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 2 minutes, being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid. Check one fillet for doneness by gently cutting into it. If you prefer your salmon more well done, cook for another minute using the high saute setting.
• Carefully transfer the salmon fillets to a serving platter using a metal spatula. Set the pot to high saute for 3 minutes and reduce the sauce until syrupy, stirring frequently. Spoon the sauce onto the salmon fillets. Top with the scallions and cilantro and serve with the rice and lime wedges.

GINGER SOY SALMON

Steps:

• Combine ginger, garlic, lemongrass, cilantro, brown sugar, soy sauce, sake, vinegar, chili sauce and sesame oil.
• Place salmon fillets in mixture and marinate for 30 minutes.
• Add oil to a nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat.
• Add marinated fish and cook until crisp and golden on each side and cooked through.
• To serve, garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro.

SALMON EN PAPILLOTE (ASIAN TWIST)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C.
• Place the spinach on the baking paper. Add the chilies, 3/4 of the mushrooms and the asparagus and season with some pepper.
• Place the salmon on top of asparagus and add the grated ginger and season with more pepper. Top the salmon with the rest of the mushrooms.
• Fold the paper over to enclose the filling. Fold in the edge to seal, leaving a gap of approx 3cm.
• Mix the wet ingredients into a 'dressing'. Adjust to taste.
• Pour the 'dressing' inside the paper through the gap. Now you can fold in the rest of the paper. The dressing will help keep the salmon moist and will add flavor to the dish.
• Place the fish on a large baking tray and bake for 12 minutes or until the salmon is just cooked. I prefer it medium done in the middle.
• Serve with a side salad.
