Grilled Salmon with Ponzu Sauce and Vegetable Slaw image

Categories     Summer     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup sake
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
2 teaspoons water
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
Vegetable oil
6 7- to 8-ounce salmon fillets
Vegetable Slaw with Miso Dressing
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds or toasted sesame seeds
6 lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Combine orange juice, sake, sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, and red pepper in heavy small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Boil until mixture is reduced to 1 1/3 cups, about 5 minutes. Combine 2 teaspoons water and cornstarch in small bowl, stirring until cornstarch dissolves. Add cornstarch mixture to ponzu sauce and boil until sauce thickens and is clear, stirring frequently, about 1 minute. (Ponzu sauce can be prepared up to 1 day ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush grill with vegetable oil. Brush each salmon fillet with 1 tablespoon ponzu sauce. Grill salmon, skin side up, 3 minutes. Turn salmon fillets and brush each with another 1 tablespoon ponzu sauce. Grill until salmon is just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer 1 salmon fillet to each of 6 plates. Top with slaw, dividing equally. Sprinkle with sesame seeds; garnish with lemon wedges and serve.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest tuna possible. Fresh tuna has a mild flavor and a firm texture, making it perfect for tuna salad.
  • Don't overcook the tuna. Overcooked tuna is dry and tough. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. There are many different ways to make a delicious tuna salad dressing. Try a creamy mayonnaise-based dressing, a tangy vinaigrette, or a flavorful Asian-inspired dressing.
  • Serve tuna salad immediately or chill it for later. Tuna salad can be served immediately or chilled for later. If you are chilling it, be sure to cover it tightly so that it does not dry out.

Conclusion:

Pacific Rim Tuna Salad with Ponzu Dressing is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover tuna. The ponzu dressing adds a bright and tangy flavor to the salad, and the variety of vegetables makes it a healthy and satisfying meal.
