BROILED SALMON WITH SPICE POMADE - ALTON BROWN

Steps:

• Rub sheet pan with the 2 teaspoons of oil and place side of salmon in pan. Salt and pepper salmon. Set aside.
• Add coriander, fennel seed, cumin seed, star anise, onion powder, garlic powder and cayenne pepper to a blender. Turn blender on high and process until whole spices become powder. With blender running, pour in 1/3 cup canola oil and blend until well combined. Stop blender to brush down sides of container, if necessary.
• Brush salmon with spice mixture. Allow salmon to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to the high broiler setting. Place salmon in the oven 6-inches from broiler. Cook until salmon reaches an internal temperature of 131 degrees F. This will take approximately 15 minutes, but will vary with different ovens. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes, and then serve immediately. Note that the internal temperature of the fish will a rise a little as carry-over cooking occurs.

SALMON EN PAPILLOTE (ASIAN TWIST)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C.
• Place the spinach on the baking paper. Add the chilies, 3/4 of the mushrooms and the asparagus and season with some pepper.
• Place the salmon on top of asparagus and add the grated ginger and season with more pepper. Top the salmon with the rest of the mushrooms.
• Fold the paper over to enclose the filling. Fold in the edge to seal, leaving a gap of approx 3cm.
• Mix the wet ingredients into a 'dressing'. Adjust to taste.
• Pour the 'dressing' inside the paper through the gap. Now you can fold in the rest of the paper. The dressing will help keep the salmon moist and will add flavor to the dish.
• Place the fish on a large baking tray and bake for 12 minutes or until the salmon is just cooked. I prefer it medium done in the middle.
• Serve with a side salad.
