Super Sauce Grilled Salmon With Grilled Scallions Food

TERIYAKI SALMON WITH GRILLED SCALLIONS AND AVOCADO CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat.
• Stir together the rice vinegar and 1/4 cup of the Japanese Style Teriyaki Cooking Sauce in a medium bowl.
• Oil the grill grates. Brush the salmon and scallions with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the salmon on the grill, flat-side down, and brush the tops with some of the remaining cooking sauce. Place the scallions on the grill and brush with some of the remaining cooking sauce. Cover and cook until the scallions are charred and tender, about 3 minutes. Flip the fish, brush with the remaining cooking sauce and continue to cook until the fish is almost cooked through (it will cook more after you remove it from the grill), 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove the salmon and scallions to a cutting board. Coarsely chop the scallions.
• Add the cucumber, avocado and scallions to the bowl with the vinegar sauce and toss. Mound the salad onto 4 serving plates. Plate the salmon next to the salad. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds.

GRILLED SALMON WITH CITRUS SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• For the salsa: Peel and trim the ends from each orange. Using a paring knife, cut along the membrane on both sides of each segment. Free the segments and add them to a medium bowl. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, scallions, mint, capers, orange zest, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes. Toss lightly and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
• For the salmon: Put a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Brush the grilling rack with vegetable oil to keep the salmon from sticking. Brush the salmon on both sides with the agave nectar and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until the fish flakes easily and is cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Transfer the salmon to a platter and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
• Spoon the salsa verde on top of the salmon or serve on the side as an accompaniment.

GRILLED SALMON WITH PEANUT HOISIN SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all sauce ingredients in a saucepan.
• Bring to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring often.
• Sauce can be made several days ahead of time and refrigerated.
• If it is too thick, just add a little water when heating it before serving.
• Season the salmon filets with salt and pepper.
• Grill until done to your liking.
• Top each grilled salmon filet with warm Peanut Hoisin Sauce and sprinkle with chopped scallions, just before serving.

GRILLED SALMON SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the salmon, heat coals in an outdoor grill and brush the top of the grill with oil. Rub the outside of the salmon with olive oil, salt, and pepper, to taste. Grill for 5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is almost cooked through. Remove to a plate and allow it to rest for 15 minutes.
• For the sauce, place the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, basil, dill, scallions, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Process until combined. Add the capers and pulse 2 or 3 times.
• To assemble the sandwiches, slice the rolls in 1/2 crosswise. Spread a tablespoon of sauce on each cut side. On the bottom 1/2, place some mesclun salad and then a piece of salmon. Place the top of the roll on the salmon and serve immediately.

GRILLED SALMON SALAD WITH LIME, CHILES AND HERBS

Steps:

• Light the grill for indirect heat, or heat the oven to 450 degrees.
• As the grill or oven heat up, make the dressing: Halve 1 lime, and squeeze its juice into a small bowl. Add the chile slices, half of the sliced shallot (save the rest for serving), the fish sauce and a pinch each salt and sugar. Let sit for 1 minute to dissolve the salt, then whisk in the olive oil. It won't emulsify, so mix again before using.
• Brush the salmon with oil, and place it in a grilling basket if you have one. Cook over the indirect (unlit) side of the grill, for 2 to 5 minutes per side, depending on how hot the grill is and how thick the salmon is. Note that individual fillets will cook faster than a single large piece. Check the salmon often. (Alternatively, roast the salmon on a baking sheet in the oven, until just cooked to taste, 7 to 12 minutes; you don't have to flip it.)
• As the salmon cooks, halve the other lime. Brush the cut sides with olive oil and grill, cut-side down, over direct heat until charred, about 1 minute. If using the oven, throw the halves, cut-side up, on the roasting pan with the salmon. They won't char, but they will cook and mellow in flavor, which is the aim.
• When the salmon is cooked, transfer it to a plate and spoon some dressing over it. Let it cool slightly, then break up the fish into large chunks.
• Place greens, remaining shallots, herbs, and radishes or cucumber, if using, in a large shallow bowl or on a platter, and add a little more of the dressing. Squeeze some of the juice from a charred lime half over it and drizzle with a little olive oil. Toss and taste, adding lime juice, olive oil or salt as needed.
• Top with the salmon chunks and drizzle with more (or all) of the dressing. Serve with the remaining charred lime half on the side for squeezing.

PAN-GRILLED SALMON ON TOAST WITH SCALLION MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Heat grill pan over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Meanwhile, toss scallions with 2 teaspoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Pat salmon dry and coat with remaining 2 teaspoons oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Cook scallions in grill pan, turning occasionally, until soft and slightly charred, about 6 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board to cool.
• Add salmon to grill pan and cook, turning over once, until just cooked through, about 12 minutes total. Transfer with a metal spatula to a plate and cool slightly, then gently flake.
• While salmon is grilling, finely chop scallions and stir into mayonnaise with celery, lemon juice, and mint. Season with salt and pepper.
• Toast bread and spread lightly with some of scallion mayonnaise. Divide salmon among toasts and top with dollops of scallion mayonnaise and pieces of frisée.
