Grilled Asian Style Salmon With Cabbage And Mint Slaw Recipes

ASIAN GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Light charcoal briquettes in a grill and brush the grilling rack with oil to keep the salmon from sticking.
• While the grill is heating, lay the salmon skin side down on a cutting board and cut it crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Whisk together the mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic in a small bowl. Drizzle half of the marinade onto the salmon and allow it to sit for 10 minutes.
• Place the salmon skin side down on the hot grill; discard the marinade the fish was sitting in. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Turn carefully with a wide spatula and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes. The salmon will be slightly raw in the center, but don't worry; it will keep cooking as it sits.
• Transfer the fish to a flat plate, skin side down, and spoon the reserved marinade on top. Allow the fish to rest for 10 minutes. Remove the skin and serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

THAI SALMON ON ASIAN SLAW

Steps:

• Place all the dressing ingredients (except water) in a blender container and process until smooth. Thin with water if necessary, it should be a little thicker than a vinaigrette. Reserve 2 tablespoons for basting fish.
• In a large bowl combine the broccoli slaw, cucumber, green onion and cilantro; drizzle with dressing and toss to coat; stir in coarsely chopped peanuts, reserving a small amount for garnish, add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste; mix well. Set aside while cooking salmon.
• In a heavy skillet heat the olive oil unit hot; add salmon fillets, skin side down, baste with reserved dressing. Sear for 3 to 4 minutes; turn the salmon, remove skin and brush with dressing; continue to cook for an additional 3 minutes. Turn and sear until salmon is done and flakes easily when tested with fork, approximately 1 to 2 minutes more.
• To serve, divide the slaw on 2 serving plates and top with cooked salmon; garnish with reserved peanuts.

GRILLED SALMON TACOS WITH RED CABBAGE SLAW

Steps:

• Prepare the cabbage slaw. Put the cabbage, carrots, and scallions in a large mixing bowl.
• Add the Green yogurt, olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, cilantro, salt, cumin, and smoked paprika to a food processor. Blend it up until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Pour the Greek yogurt sauce over the cabbage mixture and toss everything together. Set aside or put in the fridge while you grill the salmon.
• Heat your grill or grill pan on medium high heat.
• Marinate the salmon in lime juice, olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, and a generous shake of salt and pepper as the grill heats up. When the grill or grill pan is hot, spray with a little oil and place the salmon skin side up, diagonally on the grates. Cover and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, possibly a little more, depending on the thickness of the fish.
• Flip the salmon and cook skin side down for another 1 to 2 minutes.
• Heat up the corn tortillas directly on the grill, a gas stove burner, or in a cast iron pan.
• Flake the salmon a bit with a fork and put a few pieces on each tortilla.
• Add some slaw, avocado slices, fresh herbs, and a generous squeeze of lime juice.
