Salmon Steaks With Salsa And Cumin Okra Recipes

SALMON STEAKS WITH SALSA AND CUMIN OKRA

Steps:

• Season the salmon steaks with salt and pepper, and sprinkle them with two tablespoons olive oil.
• In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, red onion, vinegar and peanut oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Preheat grill. Heat the peanut oil in a large heavy skillet and add the okra. Sprinkle with the cumin, salt and pepper, and cook over moderate heat, turning frequently, until the okra is golden-brown and somewhat crusty (about 15 minutes).
• Grill the salmon steak for three to four minutes on each side for medium rare. Snip the basil leaves and add them to the salsa. Spoon the salsa over the salmon, and garnish with basil sprigs. Serve immediately, passing the okra separately.

SALMON WITH FRUIT SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Arrange salmon steaks in a shallow baking dish, and coat with the lemon juice. Season with rosemary, salt, and pepper. Top with lemon slices. Pour water into the dish.
• Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until easily flaked with a fork.
• In a medium bowl, mix pineapple, onion, garlic, jalapeno, tomato, pineapple juice, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper. Cover, and refrigerate while fish is baking. Top fish with salsa to serve.

SALMON WITH SALSA FRESCA

Steps:

• Start a charcoal or gas grill; fire should be moderately hot and grill rack about 4 inches from heat source. Or, heat oven to 500 degrees.
• Chop tomatoes and combine them in a bowl with onion, chili, cilantro, lime juice and some salt. Set aside.
• Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. If grilling, rub fish with a little oil as well; put it on grill, skin side down, and let it sit for 4 to 5 minutes, then turn once (don't worry if part of skin sticks to grill). Cook for about 3 minutes more, until medium-rare.
• If roasting, heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat for a minute. Add oil and, a few seconds later, salmon, skin side up. Sear for a minute, then transfer to oven and roast until medium-rare, about 10 minutes. Allow to rest for a minute or so, then remove skin. Turn over and serve, passing salsa at the table.
