Sweet Soy Salmon With Scallion Rice Recipes

HONEY SOY GRILLED SALMON WITH EDAMAME AND BROWN RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the grill over medium-high direct heat. Brush oil on the grill grates.
• Finely chop the cilantro and scallions, and mix in 2 teaspoons of the oil and the ginger.
• Cut two 3-inch long slits through the skin lengthwise on the bottom of the salmon fillets, going about halfway into the salmon. Evenly stuff the slits with the herb mixture. Sprinkle the fish all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper.
• Stir together the honey, lime juice and soy sauce until smooth. Place the salmon skin-side up on the grill and cook until well-marked, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the salmon and continue to cook, brushing the tops with the sauce, until the fish is cooked through, about another 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle the tops with the sesame seeds.
• Combine the edamame, 1 tablespoon water and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook on high until warm through, about 3 minutes.
• Divide the salmon, edamame, brown rice and orange wedges evenly among four plates. Serve each with a glass of milk.

INSTANT POT SOY-GINGER SALMON

Steps:

• Add the soy sauce, lime zest and juice, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger and pepper to the bowl insert of a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot®. Set to high saute for 3 minutes (see Cook's Note), stirring the sauce with a wooden spoon to combine. Add the salmon fillets, turning them to coat with the sauce (it's fine it they overlap).
• Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on low for 1 minute. After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 2 minutes, being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid. Check one fillet for doneness by gently cutting into it. If you prefer your salmon more well done, cook for another minute using the high saute setting.
• Carefully transfer the salmon fillets to a serving platter using a metal spatula. Set the pot to high saute for 3 minutes and reduce the sauce until syrupy, stirring frequently. Spoon the sauce onto the salmon fillets. Top with the scallions and cilantro and serve with the rice and lime wedges.

SWEET CHILI-GLAZED SALMON, SUGAR SNAPS AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
• Combine the rice, 2 1/2 cups water and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt on the sheet pan. Bake for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the sugar, lime juice, fish sauce, chili-garlic sauce and cornstarch in a small bowl to make the glaze. Combine the sugar snaps with the oil and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a separate bowl.
• Season the salmon with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. After the rice has cooked for 20 minutes, place the salmon, skin side down, on the sheet pan (directly on top of the rice) and brush it with about one-third of the chili glaze. Roast for 5 minutes, again brush the salmon with about one-third of the glaze and add the sugar snaps to the pan. Roast another 5 minutes and brush with the remaining glaze. Roast until the salmon is just translucent in the center and the sugar snaps are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes more.

ROASTED SALMON WITH MISO RICE AND GINGER-SCALLION VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium saucepan, whisk miso with 2 1/4 cups water until dissolved. Stir in rice and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook until all of the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork (it will be a little sticky).
• On a rimmed baking sheet, rub salmon all over with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and arrange skin-side up. Roast until fish is just opaque and cooked to medium, 8 to 10 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, scallions, vinegar and ginger, and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide miso rice and cabbage among bowls. Top with salmon, ginger-scallion vinaigrette and sesame oil.

STICKY SOY SALMON WITH BROCCOLINI AND LIME RICE

Steps:

• For the lime rice: Cook the rice according to the package instructions and keep warm.
• For the salmon: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and heat until the oil shimmers. Add the salmon flesh-side down and sear until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk together the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic and lime juice in a bowl.
• Turn the fish over and add the soy mixture to the bottom of the pan. Bring the soy mixture to a simmer and spoon over the top of the salmon as it cooks until cook through, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a pot of water with a steamer insert to the boil over high heat. Add the broccolini, cover and steam until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove the fish to a plate. Add the lime slices to the skillet and simmer until the glaze is super sticky, about 3 minutes more.
• Add the lime zest to the rice and stir. Tip onto a platter. Arrange the broccolini on top and place the salmon, glaze and lime slices on the broccolini, then sprinkle over the cilantro.
