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.

Salty-Sweet Salmon with Ginger and Spicy Cucumber Salad image

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup Fish sauce
1.1/2 teaspoons Rice-wine vinegar
3/4 teaspoon sugar, or to taste
1/4 cup peeled and minced ginger
1/4 cup FOR THE SALMON: honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 garlic clove, crushed
1.1/2 tablespoons ketchup
4 6-ounce pieces salmon fillet
1 cup FOR THE CUCUMBERS: rice-wine vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon Togarashi (or grounded red pepper flakes, or rocoto)
1.1/2 teaspoons grated ginger
1 english cucumber, seeded and sliced 1/8 inch thick

Steps:

  • Make the preserved ginger: The day before, whisk together the fish sauce, rice-wine vinegar and sugar, then add the ginger. Make sure it is covered by the liquid.
  • Combine the honey, soy sauce, garlic, ketchup and 1/4 cup water. Marinate the salmon in this for 2 hours, turning after 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the cucumber salad: Bring the vinegar to a boil. Add the sugar, salt, togarashi and ginger. Return to a boil, then let cool to room temperature. Put the cucumbers in a nonreactive container and cover with the vinegar mixture. Let sit at least one hour before serving.
  • Preheat grill to low. Arrange salmon on a hinged grill basket, then cook, basting occasionally with the marinade, over a low flame for 5 minutes per side, or until just flaky. (Or broil, skin side down, 6 inches from the flame for 4 minutes, baste, then turn and broil for 2 minutes.) To serve, use a slotted spoon to place the cucumber salad on each of 4 plates. Lay the salmon next to the salad and serve topped with preserved ginger.

SWEET AND SPICY SALMON

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 dried Szechuan chiles (about 1 inch long), seeded
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon sesame oil
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 pint blueberries
4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 grilled 6-ounces wild salmon fillets

Steps:

  • Place chiles and water in a skillet and simmer until soft, about 2 minutes. Add sesame oil and garlic; cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in blueberries, apple cider vinegar, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil and cook, mashing berries with a wooden spoon until a thick sauce forms, 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Divide sauce over salmon fillets.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality salmon fillets for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the salmon skin, helping the flavors penetrate and preventing the fillets from curling.
  • Make sure the glaze is evenly distributed over the salmon fillets to ensure they are coated in flavor.
  • Cook the salmon fillets to your desired doneness. A good rule of thumb is to cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare salmon.
  • Serve the salmon fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Sweet and spicy salmon is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. The combination of sweet and spicy flavors is sure to tantalize your taste buds. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a restaurant-quality meal at home.
