SALMON WITH SESAME AND HERBS



Salmon With Sesame and Herbs image

The easy-to-memorize marinade for this fast broiled salmon hits all the right notes: salty, sweet and sour. The fish emerges from the oven with caramelized, crisp skin, which contrasts nicely with a salad of fresh parsley or cilantro (or both), tossed with sesame oil and rice wine vinegar. Close contact with the intense heat will help crisp up the skin, while keeping the rest of the fish tender and flaky. To avoid overcooking the salmon, be sure to buy fillets that are at least 1 inch thick, and keep an eye on the fish.

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, weeknight, seafood, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons light brown sugar or honey
4 tablespoons unseasoned rice wine vinegar
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
4 skin-on salmon fillets, 4 to 6 ounces each, at least 1-inch thick
2 tablespoons raw white sesame seeds
1 small shallot, thinly sliced into rings
3 cups cilantro, parsley or both, tender leaves and stems
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

Steps:

  • Combine soy sauce, light brown sugar and 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar in a wide, shallow bowl (or small baking dish) and season with salt and plenty of black pepper. Place salmon skin-side up in the marinade and let sit for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  • Place a rack in the top third of the oven and heat the broiler.
  • Place salmon skin-side up on a foil-lined baking sheet; discard the marinade. Transfer to oven and broil until the salmon is cooked through and the skin is bubbling and lightly crisped, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toast the sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, tossing frequently until seeds are golden brown and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Toss shallot rings with remaining 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Let sit for a minute or two to lightly pickle, then add the sesame seeds, herbs and sesame oil and toss to combine.
  • Transfer salmon to a large serving platter and spoon the remaining marinade from the sheet pan over the fillets. Top with sesame and herb salad and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture. Look for wild-caught salmon if possible, as it is typically leaner and more flavorful than farm-raised salmon.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center, about 8-10 minutes per inch of thickness.
  • Use a food processor or blender to make the spread smooth and creamy. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the salmon and cream cheese together with a fork, but it will not be as smooth.
  • Season the spread to taste with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and dill. You can also add other herbs and spices to your liking, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika.
  • Serve the spread immediately or chill it for later use. The spread can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Sesame salmon spread is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Serve it on crackers, bread, or vegetables, or use it as a dip for chips or pretzels. You can also stuff it into celery sticks or spread it on sandwiches or wraps. Enjoy!
