OVEN-ROASTED SALMON, QUINOA AND ASPARAGUS WITH WASABI OIL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil the foil. Place the salmon on top, skin side down. Season with coarse salt and pepper. Fill a roasting or baking pan with boiling water and place it on the oven floor.
• Place the salmon in the oven and bake until the fish flakes and white bubbles of protein appear on the surface, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the fillets. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, snap off the woody ends of the asparagus and steam for 5 minutes, until tender. Remove from the heat.
• Place a serving of quinoa on each plate, or place a mound of it on a platter. Top with the salmon fillets and arrange the asparagus on the side. Drizzle about a teaspoon wasabi oil over the fish and the asparagus, and serve.

GRILLED PONZU-MARINATED SNAPPER WITH WASABI OIL AND SOY MARINATED GINGER

• For the salad, mix the neutral vinaigrette with the gari and toss with pea sprouts. Place a small mound in the middle of the plate and top with grilled snapper. Drizzle plate with soy ginger and wasabi oil.
• Whisk all together.
• Bring vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, and scallions to a boil. Add ginger, bring back to a boil and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.

WASABI-SOY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a small liquid measuring cup or a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine 1/4 cup water, the garlic, sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and wasabi paste. Whisk to combine, or, if using a jar, seal tightly and shake vigorously until emulsified. Taste and add more wasabi if you like; the wasabi flavor will intensify as the vinaigrette sits.
• Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week. This tastes great with any green salad, of course, but also with raw, crunchy vegetables, like cucumbers, sugar snap peas and thinly sliced asparagus.
