Tamarind Glazed Salmon Recipes

TAMARIND AND HONEY GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Clean the salmon fillets and pat them with a kitchen towel to dry. Keep aside.
• While you are prepping the ingredients for the glaze, preheat a grill-pan on the stovetop.
• In a bowl, combine all the ingredients mentioned under 'glaze.'
• Brush some of the glaze onto both side of the salmon fillets. Use no more than 1/3 of the glaze.
• Transfer the fillets to the heated grill-pan and grill on one side for 3 minutes, until browned, then flip it over gently and grill the other side for 2 minutes.
• As the fish is grilling, in a small saucepan, warm up the rest of the glaze on medium heat. Let it heat for 3-4 minutes. Take it off the heat and let it cool.
• To serve, spoon the glaze over the salmon fillets and serve over rice or rice noodles.

THE BEST HONEY-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with cooking spray if you plan on eating the salmon skin. (If you do not plan on eating the skin, you can skip this step.) Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Whisk together the honey, lime zest, and juice in a small bowl. Remove 2 tablespoons of the mixture to another small bowl and set aside. Brush the remaining honey-lime mixture over top of the salmon fillets.
• Combine the brown sugar, cumin, paprika, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Press the brown sugar mixture all over the salmon (about 1 heaping teaspoon on each portion). Crimp all 4 sides of the foil to create a border around the salmon to help collect the juices so they don't spread and burn. Bake until the glaze is shiny and turning golden in some spots, and the salmon is firm and flakes easily when pressed, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Drizzle the reserved honey-lime mixture over top of the salmon just before serving.

SWEET AND SPICY-GLAZED GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• 1. Chop chipotles and garlic in a food processor. Add tamarind, brown sugar, and salt and puree. Add vinegar, 2 tablespoons water, and oil, and puree until smooth. Pour about 1/4 cup of glaze into a small bowl. Reserve remaining glaze for serving.
• 2. Preheat a grill to medium.
• 3. Brush salmon filets with oil and season with 1 tablespoon salt, to taste. Place fillets, top-side (rounded side) down, on grill. Cook until distinct grill marks appear, about 4 minutes. Turn fish over, lightly brush with glaze, and cook, brushing occasionally with more glaze, until firm but slightly pink, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and brush with more glaze. Serve warm or at room temperature, and pass additional glaze, if desired.

INDIAN SPICED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the tamarind paste with the lime, sugar, salt, chilli powder, turmeric, garlic and ginger. Add enough water - you won't need much - to make sufficient marinade to coat the four pieces of fish. Turn the salmon over in the marinade, making sure it gets well coated, cover and put in the fridge for 1 hr (or 30 mins is fine if you're in a rush).
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the chillies. Fry over a medium heat for 30-40 secs, then add the salmon fillets. Brown the fillets on each side (including the skin), then transfer them to a roasting tin. Spoon some of the chilli oil from the pan over them. Bake in the oven for 12 mins, or until the fish is cooked right through to the centre (check with the tip of a knife). Serve with rice, lime wedges and an Indian chutney.
