WHISKEY-GLAZED SALMON WITH SALT-CRUSTED POTATOES



Whiskey-Glazed Salmon With Salt-Crusted Potatoes image

The savory snap of baby potatoes crusted in salt is just what you want with the subtle sweetness of this fish's glaze. The fish and the potatoes cook and come together at the same time in this fast meal. To achieve silky salmon without turning on the oven, gently cook it in a shallow pool of sauce that thickens to a syrup as it simmers. The potatoes, prepared using a technique from the Canary Islands, simply boil in generously salted water, then finish cooking with a splash of the liquid. When it evaporates, the salt that remains crusts onto the spuds. Shaking the pan vigorously helps the salt coat the potatoes evenly and sheds excess crystals. Serve with a salad or, after the glaze is scraped onto the fish, throw baby spinach into the still-hot skillet and stir to just wilt.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds baby gold potatoes, scrubbed
2 tablespoons coarse sea salt or kosher salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
6 tablespoons whiskey
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 (5-ounce) salmon fillets
Salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the potatoes: The potatoes should all be the same small size, about 1 inch in diameter, so cut any larger ones in halves or quarters. Place in a large saucepan with 4 cups water and add the salt. Bring to boil over high heat, then continue boiling until a paring knife slides through a potato easily, about 15 minutes.
  • About 5 minutes before the potatoes are tender, start the salmon: Combine the sugar, whiskey and Worcestershire sauce in a large skillet, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet skin side down (or the flat side if the fillets are skinless). Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the salmon becomes opaque about halfway up the sides, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, carefully tip the saucepan into the sink to pour out all but about 1/4 cup cooking water, keeping the potatoes in the pan. Return the saucepan to the stove with the potatoes and a thin layer of cooking water at the bottom, and set over high heat. Cook, shaking the pan often, until the liquid evaporates and the potatoes are crusted in a fine film of salt, about 5 minutes. The pan should be extremely dry and coated in salt and the potatoes will sound crackly when shaken.
  • Flip the salmon and continue cooking until just opaque from top to bottom and a paring knife slides through with almost no resistance, about 5 minutes longer. If you started with a 1-inch-thick fillet, this will be medium-rare. The timing will vary depending on the thickness of your fish and your preferred doneness. If you'd like, use tongs to peel off and discard the skin if there is any. The glaze should have thickened and be syrupy.
  • Divide the potatoes and salmon among serving plates and drizzle any glaze from the pan over the fish.

CEDAR PLANKED SALMON WITH WHISKEY MAPLE GLAZE



Cedar Planked Salmon With Whiskey Maple Glaze image

There is nothing comparable to the taste of freshly caught salmon, but to serve it planked.....is phenomenal!!! Out on the west coast, we get an abundance of salmon, so I am always looking for a different recipe. This recipe was published in our local paper from cookbook author Ronnie Shewchuk, Barbecue Secrets

Provided by Abby Girl

Categories     High Protein

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cedar plank (soaked overnight or at least 1 hour)
6 tablespoons whiskey
3/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon butter, room temperature
3 lbs salmon, skin on
kosher salt
ground black pepper
2 teaspoons granulated onion (or onion powder)
2 lemons, halved

Steps:

  • Plank: Make sure that the plank has soaked for at least 1 hour and up to 24.
  • Glaze: Combine the whiskey and maple syrup in a small saucepan, bringing the mixture to a low boil and reduce by about half. You should have a thick syrup that coats the back of a spoon. Add chilies and butter and stir until just combined. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Season the salmon with salt, pepper and granulated onion. Pour the glaze over the salmon carefully. Let the salmon sit for 10 - 15 minutes at room temperature, until the rub is moistened.
  • Preheat the grill on medium high heat for 5 - 10 minutes. Rinse the plank and place it on the cooking grate. Cover the grill and heat the plank for 4 - 5 minutes or until it starts to throw off a bit of smoke and crackles lightly.
  • Reduce the heat to medium low. Season the plank with kosher salt and place the salmon, skin side down, on the plank. Cover the grill and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the fish flakes.
  • Check periodically to make sure the plank doesn't catch fire and spray the burning edges with water if it does, making sure to close the lid afterwards.
  • When the salmon is done, squeeze half a lemon along its length and carefully transfer to a platter. Garish with remaining lemon cut into slices.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon: Look for a wild-caught, skin-on salmon fillet that is about 1 inch thick.
  • Make sure the salmon is properly cooked: The salmon should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality whiskey: The whiskey you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the glaze. Choose a whiskey that you enjoy drinking.
  • Reduce the whiskey glaze until it is thick and syrupy: This will help it to adhere to the salmon.
  • Serve the salmon immediately: The salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

Whiskey glazed salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The whiskey glaze gives the salmon a slightly sweet and smoky flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
