Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup thin soy sauce
Juice and zest of 2 oranges
3 tablespoons brown sugar
4 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
1/2 tablespoon wasabi powder
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
Salt and white pepper to taste
2 large English cucumbers, julienned
Sesame seeds, for garnish

Steps:

  • Combine all but sesame seeds and salmon in a saucepan. Bring to boil and slowly simmer until a syrupy consistency is achieved, about a 50 percent reduction. Let cool completely.
  • Add sesame seeds and salmon and marinate for 1 hour. Remove salmon from marinade and bring sauce to a boil. On a hot grill, cook salmon for about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Occasionally, brush the salmon with the teriyaki sauce.
  • MIRIN CUCUMBER SALAD: Make a paste with the wasabi and mirin. Whisk in vinegar and sugar. Whisk in oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss the cucumbers with enough vinaigrette to coat completely. Lay grilled salmon on top of small pile of salad. Garnish with sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality, sushi-grade salmon. Look for salmon that is bright in color and has a firm texture.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the salmon. Be careful to slice the salmon against the grain so that you get even, thin slices.
  • To prevent the salmon from sticking to the pan, make sure the pan is very hot before adding the salmon. You should also use a little bit of oil to grease the pan.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. It should be cooked just until it is opaque in the center. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • The warm maitake Thai basil salad is a great complement to the salmon carpaccio. The salad is flavorful and refreshing, and it helps to balance out the richness of the salmon.

Conclusion:

Salmon carpaccio with warm maitake Thai basil salad is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The salmon is thinly sliced and seared, then served with a warm salad of maitake mushrooms, Thai basil, and a tangy dressing. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
