Firecracker Salmon Oamc Recipes

FIRECRACKER SALMON

Steps:

• Make the firecracker sauce. Whisk all the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl until well combined.
• Marinate the salmon. Put the salmon fillet in a large baking dish, skin side down if it has skin and pour the marinade over the fish. Then rub the marinade all over the salmon making sure to fully cover both sides of the fish. Now, cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge to marinate for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Preheat your oven. Right before you are ready to make the firecracker salmon preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Bake the salmon. Remove the plastic wrap and place the salmon in the baking dish with the marinade in the preheated oven to bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Baking times do vary depending upon the size and thickness of the fillet so it's best to check your fish at 15 minutes and go from there.
• Garnish and serve. Once the salmon is cooked to your liking, garnish it with fresh sliced green onions and serve immediately. Serve this over some plain steamed rice, cauliflower rice, or with a side of steamed vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower.

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Remove salmon from marinade and pat dry. Place salmon on the prepared baking sheet and season with additional salt and pepper. Slice remaining jalapeno pepper thinly and place on top of salmon.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Brush 2 teaspoons maple syrup onto the fillets and return to the hot oven. Bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, an additional 3 to 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Whisk together all ingredients except filets in medium bowl.
• Place filets in a glass baking dish, cover with marinade, cover, and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours.
• OR: Place filets in freezer bags (either all in one, or separately for individual servings) with marinade; if using separate bags, divide marinade equally.
• Place bags in freezer (remove from freezer the day before serving day and thaw in refrigerator).
• Prepare outdoor grill with coals about 5 inches from grate; oil or spray grate lightly.
• Grill 10 minutes per inch of thickness, turning halfway through cooking.
• NOTE: I substitute olive oil for the peanut oil, and then bake or broil the filets (olive oil does not stand up well to the intense heat of an outdoor grill).
