Sesame Salmon With Maple Soy Glaze Food

EASY ONE PAN MAPLE GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Heat a large cast iron (or other oven-safe skillet) over medium-high heat and add the oil.
• Season the salmon fillets on both sides with salt and pepper and add to the hot pan, top side down.
• Let brown until caramel-coloured on the first side (about 2 minutes) and then flip to brown on the other side.
• While the salmon is browning, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and Sriracha in a small bowl and pour it over the salmon fillets.
• Add the whole pan to the preheated oven, uncovered, and cook for about 7-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes with a fork.
• Spoon the maple glaze over the salmon again before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped chives, if desired.

SESAME SALMON WITH MAPLE SOY GLAZE

Steps:

• Remove the scales and pin bones from the salmon fillet, if it hasn't already been done. Leave the skin on.
• Cut the salmon fillet into individual portions.
• Fill a shallow bowl with the sesame seeds. Dip the tops of the salmon fillet portions into the sesame seeds so that a sesame 'crust' is formed, then set the fish aside.
• Prepare the sauce, if you haven't already done so.
• Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and oil and melt/swirl to cover the bottom.
• Add the fish, skin side down. Cook until the skin is browned and the fish is starting to cook through from the bottom (about 4-5 minutes). Spoon butter/oil over the tops of the fillets as they cook.
• Gently flip the fish over and cook, sesame-seed-side down, for an additional 2 minutes or so. Remove the finished fish from the pan.
• Add the finished sauce to the hot pan. It will quickly come to a boil, so don't let it sit in the pan too long or it will scorch the sugars. Pour the sauce (now combined with butter/oil and some stray sesame seeds) into a bowl to serve.
• Serve the salmon fillets with sauce poured over top. Garnish with chopped scallions and fried shallots, if using.

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.

SOY-SESAME SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Whisk together soy sauce, honey, orange juice, toasted-sesame oil, and ginger in a medium glass baking dish. Add salmon fillets, skin side up. Let stand for 15 minutes to marinate.
• Transfer salmon to a rimmed baking sheet, flesh side up; reserve marinade. Broil salmon until flesh is slightly firm to the touch, 5 to 6 minutes. Meanwhile, bring marinade to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Drizzle glaze over salmon.
