Seared Salmon Over Risotto Style Potatoes And Corn Food

MANGO MUSTARD SALMON

Steps:

• Puree mango and mustard in a blender and transfer mixture to a shallow container such as a pie plate. Season salmon with salt and black pepper. Heat grapeseed oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Dip salmon in mango/mustard mixture and coat with bread crumbs. When the oil begins to shimmer, saute salmon leaving undisturbed for the first 4 minutes or so to allow the seasonings to integrate into the surface of the fish and to allow the caramelization process to begin to prevent "crusting off" of the coating. When you see the edges begin to turn golden, flip the fillets over and cook the other side in the same way. Remove from heat and set aside to carryover cook, or finish in a preheated 325 degree F oven, if necessary.
• Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with parsley.

SALMON WITH CORN AND TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Toss the tomatoes with the corn, vinegar, oregano and 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large bowl.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste, toss again and set aside. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the salmon, skin-side up, and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until just cooked through but still rosy in the center, about 3 minutes more. Serve with the corn salad.

ORANGE GLAZED SALMON OVER BEET RISOTTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. For risotto: Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and saute until fragrant and translucent; season with salt and pepper. Stir in the beets and cook for an additional minute before mixing in rice. Add broth and vinegar. Increase heat; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered until rice and beets are just tender and risotto is creamy, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese just before taking off heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, prepare the orange glaze. In a small saucepan add the mandarin oranges, brown sugar, and mustard and bring to a boil, cooking for 2 minutes. On a foil lined baking sheet, season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper skin side down, before brushing the glaze over the top of each salmon fillet. Bake uncovered for 10-12 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork. To serving, spoon risotto evenly into 4 shallow bowls. Top each serving with 1/4 cup arugula followed by the glazed salmon fillets.
