Teriyaki Salmon With Scallions Recipes

TERIYAKI SALMON WITH GRILLED SCALLIONS AND AVOCADO CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat.
• Stir together the rice vinegar and 1/4 cup of the Japanese Style Teriyaki Cooking Sauce in a medium bowl.
• Oil the grill grates. Brush the salmon and scallions with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the salmon on the grill, flat-side down, and brush the tops with some of the remaining cooking sauce. Place the scallions on the grill and brush with some of the remaining cooking sauce. Cover and cook until the scallions are charred and tender, about 3 minutes. Flip the fish, brush with the remaining cooking sauce and continue to cook until the fish is almost cooked through (it will cook more after you remove it from the grill), 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove the salmon and scallions to a cutting board. Coarsely chop the scallions.
• Add the cucumber, avocado and scallions to the bowl with the vinegar sauce and toss. Mound the salad onto 4 serving plates. Plate the salmon next to the salad. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds.

EASY PAN-SEARED TERIYAKI SALMON

Steps:

• Season both sides of each salmon fillet with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
• Heat a frying pan or a skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is at the proper temperature for pan-frying (see notes), add cooking oil to coat the surface. Allow the oil to heat up (about 10 - 15 seconds).
• Carefully place the salmon portions into the pan, skin side up first.
• Sear for 3 - 5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of your salmon. Be careful not to overcook your salmon. It should flake easily and be slightly firm to the touch.
• Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside to rest.
• Prepare the teriyaki sauce by combining the water, soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar and cornstarch. Make sure to stir well till there are no more cornstarch clumps.
• Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. As soon as the sauce thickens (it should be about the same consistency as maple syrup), remove the saucepan from the heat.
• Place the cooked salmon on a serving plate, then drizzle the teriyaki sauce over each piece.
• Top with sesame seeds and chopped scallions, then serve with steamed rice.

SALMON TERIYAKI

Steps:

• For the teriyaki sauce: Mix all the ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat; whisk about 1 to 2 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the sauce bubbles and thickens slightly. Set it aside to use on the salmon and store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
• For the fish: Pat the fish dry with a paper towel, cut into four 3-inch pieces, and season it with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Once you start to see white smoke, lay the fish flesh-side down in the skillet. Move the fish around constantly while cooking to keep it from sticking. When the fish is medium, 4 to 6 minutes, turn with a spatula only once.
• Cook the other side for another minute. Add the teriyaki sauce to the pan and reduce the heat to low. The sauce will begin to simmer and reduce. Tilt the pan around a few times and turn the fish until it's well coated with the sauce.
• To serve, cut the baby bok choy into quarters and arrange on a platter. Place the salmon over top and drizzle with the sauce from the pan. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and scallions over the salmon. Serve with rice on the side.

TERIYAKI SALMON WITH SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Remove any bones from salmon and discard. Place salmon in bowl or shallow casserole. Cover with teriyaki sauce. Marinate for 5 minutes
• Meanwhile, trim roots from scallions. Trim 2 bunches of scallions so that each scallion has only 1 inch of green on top. Place trimmed scallions in nonstick skillet with enough salted water to cover. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and cook until scallions are soft, about 5 minutes. Keep warm.
• Remove salmon from marinade. Reserve marinade. Press 1/2 teaspoon of butcher-grind black pepper into skinless side of each salmon fillet. Heat 1 very large or 2 smaller nonstick skillets until very hot. Put salmon skin side up in pan(s) and cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Turn over and cook 2 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, finely dice remaining scallions so that you have 1/2 cup. Add to reserved marinade. Add marinade and 1/4 cup water to salmon. Heat for 1 to 2 minutes, until salmon is cooked as desired. Serve immediately with boiled scallions.
