Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup packed basil leaves, plus 1/4 cup finely chopped stems
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon plus pinch shichimi togarashi
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 clove garlic, peeled
1/4 cup panko
Four 6-ounce skin-on salmon fillets
3 tablespoons honey
1/3 cup raw pine nuts
4 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed (about 14 ounces)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 shallot, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Bring a medium pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Fill a medium bowl with ice water and set aside.
  • Add the basil leaves, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon shichimi togarashi, lemon zest, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to a food processor and process until finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Transfer to a small bowl and fold in the panko.
  • Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with 2 tablespoons honey. Press the breadcrumb mixture all over the tops of each fillet (about 1 tablespoon per fillet). Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the salmon is firm and flakes easily when pressed, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the pine nuts in a single layer in a small nonstick skillet and cook, shaking frequently, until they're golden brown and smell nutty, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
  • Add the sugar snap peas to the boiling water and cook until very bright green and crisp tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to immediately transfer the peas to the ice water to stop the cooking. Drain the snap peas, then cut them into thirds on a deep bias.
  • Put the lemon juice, mustard, vinegar, fish sauce, shallots, 1/4 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper, the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey and the remaining pinch of shichimi togarashi in a large bowl. Use an immersion blender to mix and drizzle in the vegetable oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil until all the ingredients are emulsified.
  • Fold in the snap peas until coated. Fold in the parsley leaves, toasted pine nuts and basil stems and serve alongside the salmon.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 pound salmon steak (leftover grilled salmon is fine)
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons if using raw fish, plus more to taste if necessary
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
more extra-virgin olive oil to taste if necessary
Several sprigs fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, if using raw fish
1 red or yellow bell pepper
Juice of 1 large lemon, plus more to taste if necessary
3 cups cooked or canned white beans, drained
10 cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup diced shallots
12 to 15 good black or green olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup minced fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
freshly ground black pepper
4 cups torn assorted salad greens (trimmed, washed and dried)
