Salmon With Ginger And Cilantro Recipes

POACHED SALMON WITH GINGER AND CILANTRO

Steps:

• In a small non-reactive heavy-bottomed pan, place salmon, skin side down (keeping the skin on makes it easier to remove the salmon from the pan later). Top with 2 tablespoons of coarsely chopped cilantro, the ginger, garlic, wine, and water.
• Cover and simmer, allowing 8 minutes per inch of thickness, until cooked through (when salmon flakes easily with a fork).
• Serve the salmon with pan juices and garnish with remaining 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro. Side dishes of rice and steamed broccoli will make the colors pop.

SPICE-CRUSTED SALMON WITH GINGER-CILANTRO YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix yogurt, cilantro, 1 teaspoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon oil, ginger, and garlic in small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Place fennel seeds and coriander seeds in heavyduty plastic bag. Using mallet, crush seeds. Sprinkle fillets with salt, pepper, and seeds.
• Heat 2 teaspoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add fillets, seed side down. Cook until brown, about 3 minutes. Turn over. Cook until just opaque in center, about 3 minutes. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons lime juice. Place fillets on plates. Top with sauce; serve with lime wedges.

SALMON WITH GINGER AND CILANTRO

Steps:

• Gently rinse salmon fillet in very cold water, about 10 seconds each side. Pat salmon dry with paper towel. Rub sea salt into salmon, flesh-side only, until most of exposed flesh is coated. In medium sized bowl, mix together soy sauce, ginger and garlic with a fork or whisk. Once well combined, briefly mix in cilantro, just enough to cause a little "bruising" of the leaves but not so much as to completely mash them to a pulp. Pour mixture into baking dish (preferably glass). If possible, try to match the size of the baking dish as closely as possible to the size of the salmon fillet. Place salmon fillet, skin side up, in the baking dish. If the fillet is a pretty uneven thickness (i.e. a difference of more than an 1 inch), I will sometimes choose to "tuck in" the thinnest parts and/or the edges, to keep those portions from being very overcooked when the thicker portion is just finished. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F(190 C) . Cover baking dish, allow salmon to marinate for approximately 10 minutes. Baked covered salmon for 20 minutes, then remove from oven and turn fillet, if possible, to skin side down. At this point the majority of the salmon should flake easily with a fork and have changed color from a bright translucent reddish-pink to a opaque, bright orange-salmon color. Check the thickest part of the salmon with a fork, aligning tines along the natural grain of the fillet and pulling gently apart. The middle of the fillet should be opaque with a small amount of translucent portions. Return salmon to oven to bake for another 5-10 minutes, depending on how well cooked you wish it to be. Remove salmon from oven, transfer to serving plate and garnish with a few remaining cilantro leaves. Excellent served with rice, vegetables or any other mildly flavored side dish (so as not to overpower).
