TRIPLE CITRUS GLAZED GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Glaze: Bring all of the ingredients to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, stirring to melt the preserves and to keep the mixture from burning. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the glaze reduce until syrupy, about 15 to 20 minutes. Adjust the seasonings with salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
• Salmon:
• Heat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Brush both sides of the fillets with olive oil just before grilling, then season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill the salmon for about 4 minutes per side, brushing with the glaze during the final few minutes of cooking. Transfer the salmon to serving plates and brush them with the remaining glaze before serving.

GRILLED CITRUS SALMON

Steps:

• Combine the first seven ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid; shake well. Grill salmon over medium heat, skin side down, for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Baste every 5 minutes with citrus mixture. Garnish with orange or lemon slices if desired.

SEARED SALMON WITH CITRUS AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Make the glaze for the salmon: In a small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil with the orange juice, mustard, half the chopped garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
• Make the salad dressing: In another small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil with the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir in the shallots and the remaining garlic, then set aside.
• Using a small serrated knife, peel the grapefruit and oranges and trim to remove any remaining pith. Slice all the peeled fruit crosswise into thin circles (no larger than 1/2-inch thick); remove the seeds and set aside.
• Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy stainless-steel skillet over medium-high until it's extremely hot (a drop of water flicked onto the pan should turn to steam almost immediately), about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels, brush both sides with olive oil, and season all over with salt and pepper.
• When the pan is ready, cook the salmon fillets skin-side down over medium-high without moving until the salmon skin releases easily from the pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a pair of tongs or a spatula, wiggle the fillets to loosen the skin from the bottom of the pan, then carefully flip. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly rare in the center, 4 to 5 more minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
• Transfer to a rimmed plate or serving dish, and brush the glaze all over the salmon, making sure to coat the fillets.
• Combine the arugula and fennel in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well. Add the avocado, citrus rounds and pistachios, and toss gently. Transfer to a shallow serving bowl or platter and serve alongside the salmon.

MISO-MARINATED SALMON WITH CITRUS AND SHIITAKES

Steps:

• Marinate salmon:
• Line a large shallow (1-inch-deep) baking pan with plastic wrap and arrange salmon fillets, skin sides down, in it. Stir together miso and sake and spread over flesh sides of salmon to completely cover. Cover with plastic wrap and chill 24 to 48 hours.
• Make shiitakes with citrus zests:
• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking, then saut shiitakes with salt to taste, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and nearly dry, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to paper towels.
• While mushrooms are cooking, remove zest from navel oranges and lemons in long, thin strips, preferably with a 5-holed citrus zester.
• Heat remaining 1/2 cup oil in a 10-inch skillet over moderately low heat until hot and cook zests in 4 batches, stirring frequently, until curly and crisp, about 1 minute.
• Transfer to paper towels with mushrooms. When mushrooms and zests are cool, transfer to a bowl. Just before serving, toss together with cilantro and chives.
• Roast salmon:
• Preheat oven to 500°F.
• Gently scrape miso from salmon with a rubber spatula and discard miso. Arrange salmon fillets, skin sides down, in 2 well-greased large shallow (1-inch-deep) baking pans (tail ends may hang over ends of pans slightly). Roast salmon in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of pans after 10 minutes, until edges begin to brown and salmon is just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes total.
• Transfer each salmon fillet to a platter using 2 large metal spatulas. (If fillets break as you're transferring them, simply piece them together on the platter.) Pour orange and lemon juices over salmon and sprinkle with shiitake mixture.

SLOW-ROASTED SALMON WITH FENNEL, CITRUS, AND CHILES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275°F. Toss fennel, orange slices, lemon slices, chile, and 4 dill sprigs in a shallow 3-quart baking dish; season with kosher salt and pepper. Season salmon with kosher salt and place on top of fennel mixture. Pour oil over.
• Roast until salmon is just cooked through (the tip of a knife will slide through easily and flesh will be slightly opaque), 30-40 minutes for medium-rare.
• Transfer salmon to a platter, breaking it into large pieces as you go. Spoon fennel mixture and oil from baking dish over; discard dill sprigs. Season with sea salt and pepper and top with fresh dill sprigs.

Steps:

• Trim the salmon of fat and discard dark flesh. For Citrus Marinade: Combine ingredients in bowl, stirring to break up clumps. Cut piece of foil slightly longer than fillet. Sprinkle half of marinade down center of foil and spread it into shape of fillet. Place filet on it and sprinkle remaining marinade over fish. Wrap fish in foil and place betwen 2 baking sheets with a light weight on top sheet. Refrigerate for 3 hours. Orange Confit: Slice off peel, including pith from oranges. Working over bowl, slice between membranes to remove all orange segments. To make simple syrup: Bring ½ c granulated sugar and ½ c water to boil in heavy saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat. This makes ¾ c; you will need ½ c. Bring simple syrup and white wine vinegar to boil. Pour over orange segments and let cool. For Pea Shoot Coulis: Blanch shoots in 2-3 batches in large pot of salted boiling water, until are tender, 6-8 minutes. Place shoots in chinois and submerge in ice water to chill. Drain. Place shoots in blender with just enough water to blend. If you need more water, add by tablespoon. Scrape puree through tannis. Place puree in small saucepan. Remove fish from foil, rinse and dry fish thoroughly. Cut crosswise into 8 pieces about 3" x 1" wide. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Place enough olive oil in pan to fully cover fish. Heat oil to 110º F. Cook fish for 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Warm orange sections in syrup. Bring pea shoot coulis to a simmer, adding a little chicken stock if the sauce is too thick. Whisk in butter and salt to taste. Place 4 warm orange sections side by side to form a rectangle on plate. Spread chives on dish and press the tops of salmon pieces into chives. Set the fish chive side up over oranges and garnish the top of each fillet with scoop of caviar. Pour 1 T of coulis around each fillet.
