Daves Marinated Salmon Recipes

MASTERS MARINATED SALMON

Steps:

• For the marinade: Add 1 at a time through the feed opening of a running blender, the mango, tender parts of lemongrass, cilantro, scallions, shallot, and ginger root until they begin to form a paste. Leave the blender running and through the feed opening add the curry paste and sriracha chili sauce and blend together for a few seconds, then continue by adding the liquids 1 at a time: Chardonnay, soy sauce, orange juice, and coconut milk. Reserve half of this mixture in a small bowl to make into a sauce.
• Arrange the salmon in a shallow bowl and pour the other half of the mixture over the fish. Cover and let marinate refrigerated for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Transfer the reserved sauce mixture to a small saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until it begins to bubble and thicken.
• Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet and sear each side of the salmon (skin side down first) without disturbing for the first 3 to 4 minutes of sear time on each side. (This allows the surface to caramelize, so the fish won't tear apart when you flip it.) Transfer the pan to the oven to finish the fish - a further 5 to 7 minutes, depending upon the thickness of the fillets. Do not overcook the fish. It is done when it springs back upon being lightly prodded. Use an oven mitt to remove the pan from the oven (that handle will be hot). Transfer salmon to a platter and let rest.
• Strain the sauce and spoon over the salmon fillets.

DAVE'S MARINATED SALMON

Steps:

• Whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oil, lemon juice, garlic, scallion, ginger, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Add salmon, turning to coat, and marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for several hours. Preheat oven to 375 degrees while bringing salmon to room temperature in baking dish with marinade for about 20 minutes. Place in oven and bake, skin side down, until just cooked through, about 20 minutes.

DALE'S SUMMERTIME SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place the salmon fillet in a baking dish; top with the pineapple with juice, kale, onions, and capers. Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the salmon. Season with the salt and black pepper. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 25 minutes.

MARINATED WILD SALMON

Steps:

• Season fillets with salt and pepper, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Set aside in a baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, balsamic vinegar, sugar, green onions, and cilantro. Pour marinade over salmon; cover, and refrigerate overnight, or at least 6 hours.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Arrange salmon on a broiling sheet. Place in a preheated oven, and bake for 5 minutes. Increase heat to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C), turn fillets, and broil 5 minutes more.

BAKED MARINATED SALMON

Steps:

• Lay the salmon fillets in a baking dish and spread evenly with brown sugar. Sprinkle with garlic powder, soy sauce and lemon juice. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, refrigerate and allow to marinate for up to 8 hours. Preheat the oven to 350*. Bake, uncovered, for about 15 minutes. Baste occasionally with the juices that accumulate in the pan. This salmon is also excellent barbecued over medium coals.
