Seared Salmon With 3 Bean Salad Food

PAN SEARED SALMON WITH CITRUS VINEGAR GLAZE AND GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat a cast iron pan or heavy bottomed skillet over medium high heat. Brush the salmon fillets with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook salmon until just cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side.
• While salmon cooks, bring wine, vinegar, citrus juices and brown sugar to a boil over high heat. Reduce glaze 3 or 4 minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper.
• In a second skillet, bring 1/2-inch water to a boil with green beans and pieces of orange and/or lemon rind. Cover the green beans and cook 3 or 4 minutes. Drain the beans and toss with a drizzle of oil (optional) and season with salt and pepper.
• Drizzle glaze over salmon fillets and serve with citrus green beans.

SESAME SEARED SALMON SALAD

Steps:

• For the salmon: Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, and fresh orange juice in a shallow dish. Add the salmon and marinate for 24 hours in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• Mix the sesame seeds together. Dredge 1 side of the salmon in the sesame seeds and pan sear the seeded side only. In a saute pan over high heat, add a touch of sesame oil and sear the fillet in the middle of the pan until you smell the sesame seeds cooking, about15 seconds. Flip to the other side and cook for 10 seconds. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and cook until desired doneness, 6 to 10 minutes.
• For the vinaigrette: In a food processor, blend the miso paste with the sesame oil and rice wine vinegar. Slowly add the olive oil, soy sauce, and salt and pepper, to taste.
• For the vegetables: In a skillet over medium-high, saute the zucchini, yellow squash, and carrot in the olive oil, sesame oil, and soy sauce for about 45 seconds.
• For the salad: In a large bowl, toss the greens with 2 ounces of the miso-soy vinaigrette and arrange on a plate. Place the stir-fried vegetables on top. Sprinkle with the cashews and tomato slices. Arrange the salmon on top and drizzle with a little sweet soy sauce.

Steps:

• Put the string beans and frozen edamame into a steamer basket and steam them for 4 minutes. Transfer the beans to a large bowl and put them into the refrigerator to cool for 15 minutes or longer.
• In a small bowl whisk together the oil, vinegar, apricot preserves, sugar and ginger. Add the black beans and scallions to the other beans, drizzle with dressing, and toss to coat. Season with salt, to taste.

PAN SEARED SALMON AND HARICOT VERTS POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• For the salmon: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a saute pan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and allow to warm. Sprinkle the salmon with the salt and pepper, and then add to the pan. Sear the salmon on first side until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Then flip the fillets and repeat the process, reducing the heat to medium for the second side. Fish will be medium at this stage. Finish in the oven for additional desired cooking. Once cooked, squeeze the lemons over the fish and into pan and allow the salmon to rest while cooking the vegetables.
• For the salad: Add the grape seed oil to a saute pan over high heat and allow to warm. Then add the potatoes and onions, cooking until the onions soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Next, add the beans, garlic, apple juice, lemon juice and mustard, reducing the heat to medium. Cook until beans have softened, a final 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter.
• Serve the salad in center of the plate. Top with the salmon and drizzle with the vegetable pan sauce.

SEARED SALMON WITH GARLICKY GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• In a medium nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Add garlic, and cook until golden brown, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a plate; wipe out skillet.
• Add green beans and 3 tablespoons water to skillet; cover, and cook until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain any liquid from skillet. Season green beans with salt and pepper. Add to plate with garlic, toss, and cover loosely with foil.
• Return skillet to medium-high; add 1 teaspoon oil. Season salmon with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper; add to skillet. Cover, and cook, turning once, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer salmon to plate with green beans.

AIR FRYER SALMON SALAD WITH CORN, GREEN BEANS AND RADISHES

Steps:

• Start the salmon salad: Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add a large pinch of salt.
• Make sure the crisping tray is in the air fryer drawer and preheat it to 390 degrees F for 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle the salmon with the 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, a large pinch of salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place the salmon, skin side up, in the air fryer and cook for 9 minutes. Check the salmon and, if desired, cook for up to 3 more minutes to your desired doneness.
• While the salmon cooks, prepare the beans. If the green and wax beans are roughly the same size you can cook them together, otherwise cook separately. Cook the beans in the boiling water until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the beans from the water with a spider or slotted spoon, transfer to a medium bowl, and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn, remaining 1/4 teaspoon seafood seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
• For the vinaigrette: Combine the vinegar, shallot, lemon zest, lemon juice, Dijon, salt and pepper in a blender. Slowly turn on high for a few seconds until the shallot pieces are quite small and the mixture looks homogeneous. Turn the blender down to low, and slowly drizzle in the olive oil and avocado oil, and blend until smooth. Add all the herbs and pulse a few times to blend in the herbs. Pour into a liquid measuring cup.
• Finish the salmon salad: Toss the salad greens with 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette in a large bowl. Season with salt and black pepper. Taste the greens and add more vinaigrette, if needed. Start composing each salad by plating the greens, then sprinkle each with the corn, radishes, and beans. Top each salad with 1 of the salmon fillets, skin side up, so it remains crispy.
