LIME-MARINATED GRILLED SALMON



Lime-Marinated Grilled Salmon image

The fresh lime juice and mustard add a nice tang to this moist and flaky grilled salmon. I came up with this marinade after tasting something similar at a friend's house and it is now one of our favorite ways to do fish. You may also use other firm fish steaks instead of salmon; halibut, tuna and swordfish all work well.

GRILLED SALMON SALAD WITH LIME, CHILES AND HERBS



Grilled Salmon Salad With Lime, Chiles and Herbs image

Made of soft, supple salmon; crisp lettuces and vegetables; and a very savory dressing run through with chiles and lime, this light salad is tangy and full of flavor. The dressing, based on nuoc cham, a traditional Vietnamese dipping sauce, has just enough fish sauce to give it depth and pungency without overpowering the brightness of the lime. You can substitute other fish, or even chicken, for the salmon. Just adjust the grilling time as needed, and toss with the dressing while still warm. Note that if you don't have a grill, you can roast the fish in the oven.

Categories     dinner, salads and dressings, seafood, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 limes
2 small fresh red or green chiles or 1 large one, thinly sliced, seeds removed if you like
1 shallot (or 2 scallions, or 2 tablespoons red onion), thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fish sauce
Kosher salt
Pinch of granulated sugar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil or grapeseed oil, plus more for brushing
1 1/4 pounds salmon fillet, preferably 1 large center-cut piece
8 cups salad greens, such as Little Gem, bibb or Boston lettuce
1 cup mixed soft herbs (such as cilantro, mint and basil), leaves and tender stems
1 cup thinly sliced radishes, cucumbers or both (optional)

Steps:

  • Light the grill for indirect heat, or heat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • As the grill or oven heat up, make the dressing: Halve 1 lime, and squeeze its juice into a small bowl. Add the chile slices, half of the sliced shallot (save the rest for serving), the fish sauce and a pinch each salt and sugar. Let sit for 1 minute to dissolve the salt, then whisk in the olive oil. It won't emulsify, so mix again before using.
  • Brush the salmon with oil, and place it in a grilling basket if you have one. Cook over the indirect (unlit) side of the grill, for 2 to 5 minutes per side, depending on how hot the grill is and how thick the salmon is. Note that individual fillets will cook faster than a single large piece. Check the salmon often. (Alternatively, roast the salmon on a baking sheet in the oven, until just cooked to taste, 7 to 12 minutes; you don't have to flip it.)
  • As the salmon cooks, halve the other lime. Brush the cut sides with olive oil and grill, cut-side down, over direct heat until charred, about 1 minute. If using the oven, throw the halves, cut-side up, on the roasting pan with the salmon. They won't char, but they will cook and mellow in flavor, which is the aim.
  • When the salmon is cooked, transfer it to a plate and spoon some dressing over it. Let it cool slightly, then break up the fish into large chunks.
  • Place greens, remaining shallots, herbs, and radishes or cucumber, if using, in a large shallow bowl or on a platter, and add a little more of the dressing. Squeeze some of the juice from a charred lime half over it and drizzle with a little olive oil. Toss and taste, adding lime juice, olive oil or salt as needed.
  • Top with the salmon chunks and drizzle with more (or all) of the dressing. Serve with the remaining charred lime half on the side for squeezing.

GRILLED SEA BASS WITH CHILI-LIME DRESSING



Grilled Sea Bass with Chili-Lime Dressing image

Provided by Chef John

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon: Look for wild-caught salmon that is firm and has a bright color. Avoid farmed salmon, as it is often less flavorful and may contain higher levels of contaminants.
  • Prepare the salmon properly: Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Remove any pin bones from the fillets using a pair of tweezers.
  • Season the salmon simply: A simple seasoning of salt and pepper is all you need to bring out the natural flavor of the salmon. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as dill or parsley.
  • Cook the salmon over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the salmon while keeping the inside moist and flaky.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it is important to not overcook it. The best way to check if the salmon is cooked through is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If the salmon flakes easily, it is done.
  • Make the chili-lime sauce while the salmon is cooking: This will give the sauce time to develop its flavors.
  • Serve the salmon with the chili-lime sauce: The chili-lime sauce is a perfect complement to the grilled salmon. It is spicy, tangy, and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Grilled salmon with chili-lime sauce is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the chili-lime sauce adds a wonderful flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
