Sake Marinated Salmon Served Over Shrimp Fried Rice In A Spicy Pineapple Reduction Recipes

SAKE SALMON AND RICE

Steps:

• In a freezer bag, combine the mustard or wasabi paste, Worcestershire sauce, soy, oil, and sake and add the salmon fillets. Leave to marinate for about 20 minutes.
• Follow packet instructions for the rice, or rice-cooker handbook or just put rice in a pan, bruise cardamom pods and chuck them in too, and put double the volume of water as you have rice. Bring to the boil, then turn down to the lowest you possibly can, clamp on a lid and leave until the rice has absorbed the water and is cooked, about 15 minutes.
• Heat a smooth griddle or nonstick skillet, and cook the salmon fillets for 1 1/2 minutes on 1 side then a minute on the other side. Remove the salmon, double wrapping each fillet in foil parcels and let them rest for 10 minutes on a wooden board or a pile of newspapers.
• Bring the sake to a boil in a tiny little saucepan, like one you might melt butter in, to let the alcohol taste evaporate. Take the pan off the heat and add the other sauce ingredients.
• Unwrap the salmon fillets, removing them to a wooden board for carving as you do so.
• Arrange some freshly boiled rice on 2 plates, and slice the salmon fillets into thin slices. Lay the carved salmon on top of the rice and spoon over the sauce, letting it gloss the fish and drip here and there over the rice. Scatter the cilantro on top.

SHRIMP MOUSSE TOPPED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To sear the salmon, sprinkle the fillets with the salt and pepper. Heat a pan over high heat with the oil until the pan is smoking hot. Place the salmon into the heated pan, reduce the heat and allow to sear on the first side for 2 to 3 minutes. Then flip and sear the second side, about 2 minutes. Then remove from the pan and allow to cool.
• To create the mousse topping, first whip the whites until stiff. Next, in a food processor, puree the shrimp, and then add the parsley and seafood seasoning and pulse 7 to 8 times. Next, remove the shrimp and place in a bowl. Add the whipped whites and mix in a folding fashion. After creating the topping, evenly portion about 2 tablespoons of the mousse on top of the cooked salmon fillets.
• To finish the salmon, evenly spread the seasoned breadcrumbs on top of the mousse. Finish in the oven, cooking for 10 minutes. Then remove and serve.
