Chili Rubbed Salmon With Zucchini And Sautéed Corn Recipes

CHILI AND SAGE-RUBBED SALMON

Steps:

• Make the paste: Combine the oil and garlic in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Place over low heat and cook until the garlic just barely begins to brown around the edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the ground coriander and cumin, and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the chili powder and black pepper and cook, stirring, 2 minutes longer. Add the sage and verjus, bring to a simmer, and cook until reduced and thickened to a paste, 1 to 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl, and cool completely before using.
• Use your fingers to coat the salmon all over with the cooled chili paste. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Wipe the paste from the salmon.
• Heat the oil over medium heat in a skillet large enough to hold all the salmon fillets. Sprinkle the salmon fillets with salt, place them in the pan, and cook gently until well browned and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the salmon to warm plates and serve immediately.

RED CHILE RUBBED SALMON WITH TOASTED CORN VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Red Chile Rub: Preheat grill to medium high. Combine ancho, cumin, brown sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Brush salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Rub 1 tablespoon of the spice rub on 1 side of the salmon and grill, rub-side down until lightly golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn over and continue grilling for 3 to 4 minutes for medium doneness.
• Toasted Corn Vinaigrette: In a large pot of boiling water, blanch the corn about 5 minutes. Place the ears on the grill until slightly charred on all sides, about 2 minutes. Remove from the grill and with a sharp knife, scrape the kernels into a small bowl. Whisk together the lime juice, jalapeno and honey until combine. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper and fold in the corn, onions and cilantro.
