Teriyaki Salmon And Delicata Squash Food

TERIYAKI SALMON AND DELICATA SQUASH

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Toss the squash with the vegetable oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds and a generous pinch of salt and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast until tender, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the rice as the label directs. Toast the remaining 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium-high heat until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour into a small bowl. Brush the salmon with 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce and set aside for 5 minutes.
• Remove the squash from the oven and turn on the broiler. Push the squash around on the baking sheet to make 4 open spots, then add the salmon fillets. Season the salmon lightly with salt and pepper. Broil until the fish is just cooked through and the squash is lightly browned, 4 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish.
• Stir half the scallions into the rice and divide among plates along with the salmon and squash. Spoon the remaining 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce over the salmon and sprinkle with the remaining scallions and toasted sesame seeds.

TERIYAKI SALMON

Steps:

• If using a salmon fillet, cut crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Mix together marinade ingredients in a bowl or shallow dish, add the salmon, cover, refrigerate and marinate for 20 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan. Remove the salmon from the marinade, shaking off excess liquid and reserving leftover marinade. Place skin side down in hot oil. Move fish around constantly to keep from sticking. When browned on one side, turn the salmon, reduce the heat and cook, covered, for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the salmon from the pan, and drain on paper towels. Pour reserved marinade into pan, add the mirin and sugar, and bring to a boil. Add salmon again. Cook until marinade is almost cooked away. Remove salmon from pan, sprinkle with powdered sansho. Slice diagonally and garnish with green peppers Sauteed in the pan, and lemon slices.

SPICY ROASTED DELICATA SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out and reserve the seeds in a small bowl. Cut the squash into 1-inch half-moons and place into a large bowl.
• Thinly slice 1 of the jalapenos and place in a small bowl with the white balsamic, making sure the vinegar covers the peppers completely. Set aside to pickle while the squash cooks.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice the remaining jalapeno and transfer to a small skillet with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and 1 teaspoon of the harissa. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the peppers are shimmering and starting to lighten in color in the center and the seeds are turning golden brown, about 5 minutes. Strain the oil into the large bowl with the squash and add the remaining 2 teaspoons harissa, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper. Use tongs (the oil will be hot) to toss everything together. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until a butter knife can be inserted easily into the squash and removed, about 30 minutes.
• While the squash is cooking, toss the seeds with the pumpkin pie spice, cayenne pepper, remaining 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until light golden and crispy, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Transfer the squash to a serving platter. Drain the jalapenos and sprinkle over top along with the feta cheese and roasted seeds.

• Set oven rack about 4 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Place salmon steaks into a broiler pan and broil for 5 minutes. Brush steaks with reserved marinade, turn, and broil until fish is opaque and flakes easily, about 5 more minutes. Brush again with marinade.
