Miso Maple Glazed Salmon Rice Bowl

Jay del Corro @TheAimlessCook

Ingredients

1 tablespoon red miso paste
1 teaspoon mirin
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger juice
2 tablespoons maple syrup
* Whisk into a smooth paste and set aside.

For the rice seasoning:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
3 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons roasted black sesame seeds (or regular sesame seeds)
a dash of honey if you prefer
* Mix together in a container and set aside.

a bunch of fresh asparagus
olive oil
kosher salt
2 cups cooked brown short grain rice
2 portions of salmon fillet


Steps

  1. Start by preheating the broiler. On the stove, heat a large skillet on high heat with a couple tablespoons of canola oil. When it starts to smoke, add the salmon. Cook on the heat until the edges start to turn opaque, then spoon on the glaze. You will only need about a couple tablespoons per piece. Once the glaze is on the salmon, immediately put under the broiler (about 7-8 inches above the salmon). Depending on the thickness of the salmon, you will only have to leave it cook for about 3-4 minutes. At this point, the glaze should be starting to caramelize and brown. When the salmon is done, take out and set aside.
  2. For the asparagus, simply toss in olive oil til coated then season with kosher salt. Put on the grill on medium heat and cook for a couple minutes until lightly coloured. Take off the grill and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the freshly steamed brown rice and slowly drizzle in the seasoning sauce. With a slicing motion, mix the rice and seasoning together until well combined. Taste and season with salt if you need to.
  4. To serve, simply arrange the salmon and asparagus on the bowl of seasoned sesame rice. If you like, you can also add a fried or poached egg, some sauteed shiitake mushrooms or some diced avocado. Be creative and have fun in the kitchen!

Salmon en Croute

Gordon Ramsay

Ingredients

Approx 10g bunch of basil
Approx 5g bunch dill
60g unsalted butter at room temperature
Zest of 1 lemon
1 x approx 1kg side of MSC certified pacific or organically farmed salmon, tilapia or trout, skinned, pin boned and cut in half*
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
Plain flour, to dust
500g shortcrust pastry
1 x egg
Olive oil
Salt
Black pepper

For the new potatoes:
750g small new potatoes
Approx 10g bunch basil
Approx 5g bunch dill

For the broccoli
1 large head of broccoli, or 2 smaller
2 garlic cloves, peeled


Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C/gas 6.
  2. Dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the pastry using the salmon as a guide size. Leave to rest in a cool place.
  3. Place the softened butter in a large bowl. Use scissors to roughly chop in the dill and basil before grating in the lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper and mix.
  4. Pat the salmon fillets dry using kitchen paper and season with salt and pepper. Spread the butter mixture over one side of the fillet and the wholegrain mustard on the other. Sandwich the two salmon fillets together, in opposite directions so that both ends are of a similar thickness.
  5. Beat 1 egg to make your egg wash. Place the salmon in the centre of the pastry and brush around it with the egg wash, season with salt and pepper. Bring up the longest pastry sides, trimming as much excess away as possible, and tuck them in before folding the shorter pastry edges over to form a neat parcel. Turn the whole thing over so that the seam is sitting on the bottom, and transfer to a non-stick baking tray. Brush with egg wash over the outside. Mark the pastry using the back of a small knife to make a cross hatch. Mark again to show 4 portions. Finally season the salmon parcel with salt and pepper.
  6. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
  7. Meanwhile, boil the potatoes for approximately 12-15 minutes in salted water, until tender. Strain into a colander and leave to drain over the pot. Drizzle with olive oil, and chop in the extra dill and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Cut the broccoli into florets, and cut any larger florets in half. Cook in a pan of boiling salted water for 3 minutes, or until al dente. Drain.
  9. Sauté the broccoli in a dry pan for a minute. Crush in the garlic and add to the broccoli with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper and sauté for a further minute.
  10. Remove the salmon from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Use a serrated knife to cut into 4 portions and serve alongside the sautéed broccoli and herbed potatoes.
