Garlic Ginger Crust Salmon Recipes

GINGER-SCALLION CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• To make the cucumber salad, stir together sesame oil, dill, rice vinegar, mirin, and sesame seeds in a glass or plastic bowl; add cucumber, and toss until well coated. Cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
• To prepare the ginger crust, stir together the ginger, green onions, and garlic in a sturdy, metal bowl; set aside. Heat 1/4 cup peanut oil in a small saucepan over high heat until it begins to smoke. Remove from heat, and carefully stir in the ginger mixture; set aside.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a large, ovenproof, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season salmon fillets to taste with salt and pepper. Sear salmon until golden brown on both sides, 30 to 40 seconds per side. Transfer to a plate, and wipe excess oil from skillet. Spread honey over top of fillets, then evenly spread with reserved ginger crust.
• Replace salmon into the skillet, and place into the oven. Bake until the center of the salmon turns opaque, 6 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stir in shallots, and cook until softened and translucent, about 2 minutes. Pour in white wine, then simmer until nearly evaporated. Add the ponzu sauce and heavy cream, reduce by 1/2. Remove from heat, then whisk in cold butter pieces until dissolved; season to taste with kosher salt.
• To assemble the dish, season the cucumber salad to taste with salt. Divide the salad evenly onto four plates, spreading it out into a 4 to 5-inch circle. Drizzle the ponzu butter onto the bare area of the plate, around the cucumber salad. Place a salmon fillet, crust-side up, on top of the salad, and serve.

HONEY-GINGER GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• In a large self-closing plastic bag, combine ginger, garlic, soy sauce, orange juice, honey, and green onion; mix well. Place salmon in bag and seal tightly. Turn bag gently to distribute marinade. Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil grate.
• Remove salmon from marinade, shake off excess, and discard remaining marinade. Grill for 12 to 15 minutes per inch of thickness, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

GINGER & GARLIC SALMON

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients for marinade in small bowl.
• Place salmon in a baking dish and pour the marinade over it, making sure to coat the top well.
• Allow to marinate for about 15-20 minutes.
• Parboil carrots and green beans together for about 5-8 minutes, depending on how soft you like to eat them.
• Drain carrots and beans and sprinkle them around the fish in the baking dish, turning to coat in the marinade.
• Place salmon in preheated oven at about 200 degrees C (or about 430 F) for 10 minutes.
• Serve with rice or potatoes.

GARLIC GINGER CRUST SALMON

Steps:

• Mix everything but fish in a shallow dish.
• Place salmon, skin side up, into marinade. Marinade in fridge for 1-2 hours.
• Remove fish from dish. Drain marinade but keep garlic and ginger chunks.
• Pile chunks from marinade onto top of salmon forming a crust.
• Place salmon back into baking dish or on piece of foil.
• Bake at 450 for 20 minutes, or until fish flakes with a fork.

CRISPY GARLIC-MISO GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, honey, miso paste, ginger and garlic in a bowl and whisk well.
• Place marinade and Salmon Filet in a Ziplock bag and refrigerate and marinate everything for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
• I prepare something looking like a boat out of aluminum foil but of course you can also line a pan with foil.
• Preheat a heavy pan with just a tiny bit of peanut oil. Once your pan is extremely hot sear the top of the salmon for about 1 minute or until you have a nice crust.
• Immediately transfer your salmon to your prepared aluminum foil boat. Flip salmon so the crisp side is face up.
• Bake your salmon in your preheated oven at 180 C (350 F) for 15-20 minutes (depending on thickness). Baste salmon with the sauce halfway through.
• Pour marinate out of the Ziplock bag into a sauce pan. Bring sauce over medium high heat to a boil and simmer for about 5 minutes until reduced.
• Serve Salmon with reduced sauce.
