Seared Salmon Bowl With Ginger Wasabi Dressing Food

SEARED SALMON BOWL WITH GINGER WASABI DRESSING

Steps:

• 1. Combine all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk well and set aside.
• 2. The rice can be hot or cold. If you want it hot, heat it up and keep it warm.
• 3. Season the salmon pieces with salt and pepper to taste. Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Take the pan away from the flame and spray with non-stick cooking spray. When it is hot again, sear the salmon on both sides until done. Depending on the thickness, this will take about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
• 4. While the salmon is cooking, divide the rice equally among four bowls. Divide the green onions, cucumbers, avocado and daikon sprouts evenly among the four bowls, arranging prettily! When the fish is done, place a piece in each bowl and drizzle with a quarter of the dressing. Top each bowl with sesame seeds and shredded nori. Serve immediately.

SALMON BURGERS WITH GINGER-WASABI MAYO AND SESAME-CRUSTED FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven according to the package directions for the fries.
• Spread the French fries out on a cookie sheet and cook according to the package directions. Three minutes before the fries are finished cooking, remove them from the oven, sprinkle with the sesame seeds, toss with a spatula to coat, and return to the oven to finish cooking and to toast the sesame seeds.
• Cube the salmon into bite-size pieces and place in a food processor. Pulse the processor to coarse-grind the salmon; it should take on the consistency of ground beef or turkey. Transfer the salmon to a bowl and combine with the garlic, three fourths of the ginger, the tamari, scallions, red bell peppers, sesame oil, grill seasoning, and black pepper. Form 4 large patties, 1 1/2 inches thick. Drizzle the patties on both sides with the oil. Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the salmon burgers, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side for well done.
• While the salmon burgers are cooking, prepare the ginger-wasabi mayo. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, wasabi paste, lime juice, and the remaining ginger.
• Spread the ginger-wasabi mayonnaise on the buns. Top with a salmon burger and red leaf lettuce and set the bun tops in place. Serve with the sesame-crusted French fries.
