Sesame Ginger Pan Seared Salmon Food

SESAME GINGER SALMON

Steps:

• To make the glaze, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, ginger and sesame seeds in a small bowl; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame seeds and green onions. In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine ginger marinade and salmon filets; marinate for at least 30 minutes to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray. Place salmon filets along with the marinade onto prepared baking dish and bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Serve salmon immediately with honey ginger glaze.

GINGER-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Combine the olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, maple syrup, Chinese mustard, Sriracha and garlic in a large bowl. Pour one-third of the mixture into a small bowl and reserve. Add the salmon fillets to the large bowl. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to coat the skillet. Add the salmon skin-side down and cook until crispy, 5 minutes, lowering the heat if the glaze starts to get too dark in the pan. Baste the flesh side with the reserved marinade. Flip and cook until the salmon is cooked through and the flesh side is golden brown, 3 to 4 more minutes. Transfer to a platter and top with the chopped scallions and sesame seeds.

SESAME-GINGER PAN SEARED SALMON

Steps:

• Drizzle sesame oil over salmon and rub over all sides of fish. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine ground ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, salt & pepper. Season all sides of fish and allow to dry marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Place a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is fragrant and glistening, sear one side for 5-7 minutes. Carefully turn and sear the opposite side for another 5-7 minutes. Once salmon is cooked through, remove to serving plate and cover.
• Lower skillet heat to medium-low and toast sesame seeds for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant and thoroughly coated with the oils and seasonings remaining in the pan.
• Spread seeds evenly over the top of each filet.
• Serve and enjoy!

GLAZED SESAME SALMON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a shallow dish, mix together the chilli sauce, soy, sesame oil, rice wine, garlic and ginger. Lay the pieces of salmon in the marinade, skin-side up, and set aside for 15 mins.
• Put the marinated salmon on a baking tray, skin-side down, and spoon over a little of the leftover marinade. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and roast in the oven for 15 mins, or until done to your liking. Serve with steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables.

SESAME-GINGER GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-low heat.
• Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil onto each filet and rub onto all sides. Then drizzle 1 teaspoon soy sauce onto each filet and repeat.
• In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, ginger, paprika and black pepper. Sprinkle evenly onto all sides of each filet.
• Allow to marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Just before grilling, carefully apply olive oil to grill rack via paper towel or grill brush.
• Grill salmon for 5-7 minutes on each side (depending on filet thickness--thinner filets will take less time to cook through) or until cooked through. Try to only turn the filets once to prevent the fish from breaking apart.
• Remove to a serving platter and enjoy!

SESAME GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce, honey, ginger, and garlic together in a bowl until marinade is evenly mixed. Set aside 1/4 of the marinade.
• Place salmon fillets in shallow dish; pour the remaining marinade over the salmon. Cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 5 minutes.
• Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Remove salmon from marinade, shaking to remove excess marinade, and place, skin-side up, into the hot oil; cook for 4 minutes. Discard unused marinade in the shallow dish. Flip salmon and drizzle the reserved 1/4 of the marinade over salmon; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip salmon, remove skin, and cook 1 minute more.

SHEET-PAN SALMON AND BROCCOLI WITH SESAME AND GINGER

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk 3 tablespoons sesame oil with the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, ginger and garlic until smooth. Set the glaze aside.
• Place the broccoli florets and 1 1/2-inch scallion segments on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, toss well and roast for 5 minutes.
• While the broccoli and scallions roast, place the salmon fillets on a plate and pat dry with paper towels. Brush all over with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Toss the broccoli and scallions and move to the edges of the pan, clearing spaces in the center for the salmon fillets. Place the salmon fillets, evenly spaced, on the center of the pan. Brush the fillets generously with the glaze.
• Return the pan to the oven and roast until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly rare in the center, about 12 minutes.
• Squeeze the lime over the broccoli and sprinkle with salt. Scatter the sliced scallions and sesame seeds over the salmon, and serve hot.
