SWEET AND SPICY GRILLED SALMON



Sweet and Spicy Grilled Salmon image

The decadent-tasting "good" fat in salmon complements the sweet-spicy Buffalo glaze. The skin gets caramelized and crisp on the grill as the sauce drips onto it. It's delicious, but can be discarded to save fat and calories. (The numbers below include the skin.) A crisp and refreshing celery slaw is dressed with the same sauce, made creamy with light mayo, and brightened with onions and chives.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons hot sauce, such as Frank's
1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon snipped chives
8 stalks celery, very thinly sliced in half moons on an angle
1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced
Four 5-ounce center-cut skin-on salmon fillets, about 1-inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for oiling the grill

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan on medium high.
  • Mix together the hot sauce, brown sugar, paprika and cayenne in a small bowl. Transfer 1 tablespoon of the mixture to a large bowl and whisk in the mayonnaise; set aside the rest of the sauce. Add the chives, celery and onions to the bowl with the mayonnaise and toss well.
  • Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper. Brush the grill grate lightly with oil. Lay the salmon on the grill, skin-side up, and cook until distinct grill marks appear and the salmon releases easily from the grate, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and brush the fish with some of the reserved sauce. Continue to cook the fish, brushing the pieces periodically with the sauce, until the salmon fillets are glazed and just cooked through, 13 to 15 minutes more.
  • Transfer the fillets to individual plates and serve with the celery slaw.

CRISPY-SKINNED SALMON WITH WHOLE LEMON-SESAME SAUCE



Crispy-Skinned Salmon with Whole Lemon-Sesame Sauce image

Adding an entire lemon-skin, pith, and flesh-to the sauce provides brightness and texture. Any bitterness from the pith will be offset by the sesame oil and honey. That balance makes it a super versatile condiment that pairs well with grilled or roasted vegetables and is great as a topping for stews and braises come winter.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 (6-oz.) skin-on salmon fillets, pin bones removed, patted dry
2 Tbsp. plus 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill
Kosher salt
1 small lemon
1 small shallot, finely chopped
2 tsp. black sesame seeds
1 tsp. honey
1/2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup basil leaves, torn if large

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium heat. Rub salmon with 2 Tbsp. olive oil; season both sides with kosher salt.
  • Cut ends off lemon and discard. Set lemon upright on a cutting board and slice off 4 lobes, working around the core (the seeds will be left behind). Finely chop lobes (flesh, pith, and all) and transfer to a small bowl; you should have about 1/3 cup. Squeeze juice from core into bowl; discard core. Add shallot, sesame seeds, honey, sesame oil, and 1/3 cup olive oil; season with kosher salt and lots of pepper. Toss to combine.
  • Clean and oil grate, then immediately place salmon on grill, skin side down. Cover and grill, without turning, until skin is lightly charred and flesh is opaque all the way through, 6-8 minutes. Transfer salmon to shallow bowls or plates; let cool slightly. Spoon sauce over salmon. Top with basil; sprinkle with sea salt.

GRILLED SESAME SALMON



Grilled Sesame Salmon image

From The South Beach Diet online. This flavorful, heart-healthy dish cooks up quickly but looks impressive, making it a perfect meal for entertaining. (Phase 1) Tip: To test for done-ness, insert a small, sharp knife in a fillet; fish should be opaque throughout. When pressed with your finger, salmon should feel firm but not hard.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings (4oz. each)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 (2 lb) salmon fillets

Steps:

  • Combine olive oil and sesame oil together.
  • Brush both sides of salmon with oil mixture.
  • In a small bowl combine all of the seasonings.
  • Rub over salmon fillet, covering both sides, pressing seasonings down into flesh.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Coat grill rack with nonstick cooking spray before starting the grill.
  • Grill salmon fillet uncovered, over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Tips:

- To ensure the salmon is evenly cooked, place it skin-side down on the grill grates. This will help protect the delicate flesh of the salmon and prevent it from sticking to the grates. - Baste the salmon with the marinade every few minutes to keep it moist and flavorful. The marinade will help to caramelize the salmon and create a delicious crust. - If you don't have a grill, you can cook the salmon in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Just be sure to preheat the pan before adding the salmon. - Serve the salmon with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, quinoa, or rice.
