THE TASTIEST GRILLED SALMON WITH GINGER SOY BUTTER RECIPE



The Tastiest Grilled Salmon With Ginger Soy Butter Recipe image

Yes, even grilled salmon can suffer at the hands of a restaurant chef who uses oil as a condiment and salt as a weapon. Whereas...

Provided by David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding

Categories     Dinner

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 Tbsp unsalted butter
softened
1⁄2 Tbsp minced chives
1⁄2 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
Juice of 1 lemon
1⁄2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
4 salmon fillets (4-6 oz each)
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 Tbsp olive oil

Steps:

  • Mix the butter, chives, ginger, lemon juice, and soy sauce. Set aside. Preheat a grill or grill pan. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and rub with the oil. Wipe the grill grates clean and rub with a paper towel dipped in oil. Add the salmon skin side down and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the skin is lightly charred and crisp. Flip the fish and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the flesh side, until the flesh flakes with gentle pressure from your finger but is still slightly translucent in the middle. (We believe salmon is best served medium, but if you want yours completely cooked, leave it on for another 2 to 3 minutes.) Serve the salmon with a generous spoonful of the flavored butter, which should begin to melt on contact.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large tomatoes
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small head cauliflower (about 2 pounds), cut into florets (or 1 pound bagged florets)
1 1/4 teaspoons garam masala
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
4 10-ounce skin-on salmon steaks (preferably wild)
Vegetable oil, for the grill
2 pieces naan (or other flatbread)

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Grate the tomatoes on the large holes of a box grater into a medium bowl; discard the skins. Stir in 1/3 cup cilantro, the vinegar and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Spread the cauliflower florets on one half of a 24-inch-long piece of foil; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon garam masala and dot with the butter; season with salt and pepper.

Grill the naan until lightly toasted, about 1 minute per side; cut into wedges.
  • Carefully open the foil packet and toss the cauliflower with the remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro. Top the salmon with the tomato-ginger sauce and serve with the cauliflower and naan.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Salmon: Opt for wild-caught salmon over farmed salmon for a more flavorful and sustainable option.
  • Use Fresh Ginger: Fresh ginger provides the best flavor; grate it just before cooking.
  • Make the Marinade Ahead: Marinate the salmon in the ginger-soy mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, for maximum flavor.
  • Grill at a High Temperature: Cook the salmon over high heat to create a nice crust while keeping the inside moist.
  • Don't Overcook: Salmon cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it; aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Use a Grill Pan if Necessary: If you don't have a grill, you can cook the salmon in a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Serve Immediately: Grilled salmon is best served immediately, garnished with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon.

Conclusion:

This grilled gingered salmon recipe is a simple yet flavorful dish that showcases the natural flavors of salmon. The combination of ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil creates a delicious marinade that infuses the salmon with Asian-inspired flavors. Cooking the salmon over high heat creates a nice crust while keeping the inside moist and flaky. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion meal.
