SESAME GINGER VINAIGRETTE



Sesame Ginger Vinaigrette image

My decision to devote this week's recipes to salad dressings was partly a reaction to my son's request for a bottled sesame ginger dressing. "We don't buy dressings in this house," I said huffily. The next day I looked at a bottle of sesame soy ginger dressing at a local market and was horrified to see that the second listed ingredient was sugar. I thought: I can make something sort of sweet and do better than that. And so I did. This dressing is great with green salads and cooked vegetables, as well as with noodles and grains.

ROASTED SALMON WITH MISO RICE AND GINGER-SCALLION VINAIGRETTE



Roasted Salmon With Miso Rice and Ginger-Scallion Vinaigrette image

This simple weeknight meal makes great use of pantry staples to create complex flavors with minimal work. Miso is often used to flavor soups or sauces, and here, it is added to raw rice before cooking, which results in a delightfully sticky, savory steamed rice. Fragrant and nutty basmati is called for, but any long-grain rice will work. Shredded cabbage brings freshness and crunch to the finished dish, but use whatever crispy vegetable you have on hand: shredded brussels sprouts, carrots, snap peas, radishes and iceberg lettuce are all great options. For a heftier meal, add some canned chickpeas, white beans or black beans. To finish, the vibrant tang of the bright ginger-scallion vinaigrette balances the richness of the roasted salmon.

Categories     dinner, lunch, weeknight, grains and rice, seafood, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup white or sweet miso
1 1/2 cups basmati or other long-grain rice
4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup chopped scallions, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar or unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
4 cups finely shredded cabbage, such as green, Napa or savoy (about 8 ounces)
Roasted sesame oil, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium saucepan, whisk miso with 2 1/4 cups water until dissolved. Stir in rice and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook until all of the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork (it will be a little sticky).
  • On a rimmed baking sheet, rub salmon all over with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and arrange skin-side up. Roast until fish is just opaque and cooked to medium, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, scallions, vinegar and ginger, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide miso rice and cabbage among bowls. Top with salmon, ginger-scallion vinaigrette and sesame oil.

Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 24

3 tablespoons butter
1 cup finely chopped onion
⅓ cup finely chopped celery
¼ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1 tablespoon dry mustard
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
⅓ cup mayonnaise
½ cup soft bread crumbs
1 tablespoon lemon zest
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 pound cooked crabmeat
salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup dry bread crumbs
¾ cup vegetable oil
lemon, zested
¼ cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon white sugar, or to taste
salt to taste
2 cups vegetable oil for frying
8 cups mixed salad greens
2 avocados - peeled, pitted and sliced

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the celery and bell pepper; continue cooking until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard and cayenne pepper; cook 2 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a mixing bowl and refrigerate until cold.
  • Stir the mayonnaise into the chilled vegetable mixture along with the soft bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, parsley, and beaten egg. Stir until combined, then gently fold in the crab meat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the dry bread crumbs into a shallow bowl. Form the crab mixture into 8 cakes, 1/2 inch thick. Press the crab cakes into the bread crumbs one at a time until coated on all sides. Gently shake off excess crumbs, and place the crab cakes onto a plate. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour to overnight.
  • Prepare the vinaigrette by whisking 3/4 cup vegetable oil with the zest of 1 lemon, lemon juice, ginger, jalapeno, sugar, and salt. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Heat the frying oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, toss the mixed salad greens with the vinaigrette in a mixing bowl, and divide onto 8 serving plates. Arrange the sliced avocado over the salads, and set aside.
  • Once the oil is shimmering with heat, fry the crab cakes until golden brown on each side, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Briefly drain on a paper towel-lined plate to rid the cakes of excess grease. Place a crab cake on top of each salad and serve immediately.

This is almost identical to one of my favorite salad dressing at the resturaunt Bread and Company. There, it is served on a strawberry fields salad, but it makes a delicious dressing on any salad, fruity, oriental, or as a mariande.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ginger: Use fresh ginger for the best flavor. Look for ginger that is firm and smooth, with no wrinkles or blemishes.
  • Peel and mince the ginger: Peel the ginger with a sharp knife or spoon, then mince it finely. You can also grate the ginger if you prefer.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil is the base of the vinaigrette, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is fruity and flavorful.
  • Add some acidity: The acidity in the vinegar helps to balance out the sweetness of the ginger. You can use any type of vinegar you like, but rice vinegar, white wine vinegar, or champagne vinegar are all good choices.
  • Season to taste: Once you've mixed the vinaigrette, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or honey to taste.

Conclusion:

Ginger vinaigrette is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, roasted vegetables, and grilled meats. It's also a great way to add a little bit of extra flavor to your favorite dishes. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and healthy ginger vinaigrette that will brighten up any meal.
