Yuzu Glazed Salmon Recipes

YUZU-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut a square of parchment about three times larger than salmon fillet.
• In a small bowl, whisk together yuzu juice, miso, soy sauce, and maple syrup.
• Lay parchment on a sheet pan. Arrange bok choy on right half of parchment, leaving a 2-inch border uncovered on all sides. Place salmon on top of bok choy, drizzle with yuzu mixture, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Take left side of parchment and fold it over salmon. Pleat edges together to form a parcel, sealing fish tightly in packet. Check to make sure there are no gaps along edges.
• Place in oven and bake 25 minutes. Salmon should be cooked through and just tender at center.
• Remove from oven and let rest a few minutes. Cut packet open, divide salmon and bok choy among plates, and drizzle with some cooking juices.

YUZU PONZU SALMON WITH CRISPY RICE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the sushi rice: In a small bowl, whisk together the rice wine vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves.
• Pour the vinegar mixture over the warm rice and fold with a spatula until the liquid is absorbed.
• Line an 8 x 5-inch container with plastic wrap, then add the sushi rice and press down in an even layer. Fold the plastic wrap over rice to cover, then freeze for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the yuzu ponzu salmon: In a medium bowl, whisk together the kewpie mayonnaise, yuzu kosho, yuzu extract, sesame oil, and soy sauce until combined.
• Add the salmon and scallions to the bowl with the mayonnaise mixture. Mix until evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Fry the sushi rice: Heat the avocado oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 375°F (190°C).
• Remove the sushi rice from the freezer and cut into 12 even rectangles. Discard any loose pieces of rice.
• Carefully add 3-4 of the rice rectangles at a time to the hot oil. If the oil splatters, cover the skillet with a lid until it subsides. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, 3-4 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack to drain and repeat with the remaining rice.
• Transfer the salmon mixture to a zip-top plastic bag and snip an ½-inch opening in one corner.
• Gently pipe the salmon on top of each piece of crispy rice. Sprinkle each piece with the toasted white and black sesame seeds and top with a slice of jalepeño, if using.
• Serve immediately with ponzu sauce for dipping.
• Enjoy!

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.

KOMBU-CURED SALMON WITH FRESH YUZU KOSHO

Steps:

• Slice salmon on a diagonal into four 1"-1 1/4"-thick fillets. Place 2 kombu sheets in a 13x9" glass baking dish or other nonreactive vessel. Lay salmon on top of kombu and top with remaining kombu so that salmon is completely covered. Lay lemon slices on top. Cover and chill at least 12 hours and up to 2 days.
• Whisk mirin, miso, and soy sauce in a small bowl until smooth. Set glaze aside.
• Toss jalapeño and serrano chile with a large pinch of salt on a cutting board and mash with the side of a chef's knife until a coarse purée forms. Transfer to a small bowl. Mix in yuzu zest and juice; season yuzu kosho with salt. Set aside.
• Heat broiler. Lightly coat a broilerproof baking sheet with nonstick spray. Uncover salmon and transfer to baking sheet; discard kombu and lemon. Spread reserved glaze evenly over top of salmon and broil until flesh is very dark around the edges and opaque throughout, about 4 minutes.
• Top salmon with reserved yuzu kosho and serve with yuzu wedges for squeezing over.
