Sweet And Sour Salmon Recipes

SWEET AND SOUR SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to broil and position the oven rack to the top rack. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with non stick cooking spray. Place the salmon filets skin side down on the prepared baking sheet, set aside.
• In a small saucepan combine soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, thai chili sauce, garlic and cornstarch. Bring to a simmer and whisk constantly until the sauce has thickened.
• Brush half of the sauce on top the salmon filets. Place in the oven and broil for 8-10 minutes or until the salmon is fully cooked, brushing the remaining sauce on top halfway through cooking. If the salmon starts to get too brown move the rack down some.
• Once the salmon has cooled a bit remove the skin and serve immediately with green onions and sesame seeds for garnish, if desired.

Steps:

• Cut the raw salmon into 2-inch thick pieces. Dredge in the salt and then let stand for one hour.

• Rinse the salt from the salmon under cold running water, then place the fish in the boiling liquid in the saucepan. Reduce the temperature to low and allow to simmer for 30 minutes total.
• When salmon is has simmered for 25 minutes, place the cold water in a bowl and add the gingersnaps, allowing them to disintegrate (using enough cold water for them to disintegrate but not be too liquidy).
• At 30 minutes of simmering, add the gingersnap mixture to the salmon, stir gently, and increase the heat to boiling. Allow to boil for 1 minute, then remove the fish to a serving platter and pour the liquid with all the ingredients over the fish.
• Serve. Makes 4 servings.
