Bbq Glazed Salmon With Black Bean Compote Recipes

BBQ GLAZED SALMON WITH BLACK BEAN COMPOTE

Steps:

• For the BBQ sauce: Whisk together all the ingredients in a bowl, add to a saucepan, and cook over low heat for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the flavors have blended. Reserve.
• For the black bean compote: Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat until on the verge of smoking. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the peppers, tomatoes, beans, salt and pepper, to taste, and cook for 9 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the vinegar, parsley, and cilantro, stir well. Keep warm.
• For the salmon: Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Coat the grill plates with oil to prevent sticking.
• Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and grill for 7 to 8 minutes on the first side. Carefully flip the fillets over and continuing cooking for 5 to 6 minutes. Once cooked, remove and glaze with the BBQ sauce.
• To serve, spoon the black bean compote onto the center of a plate and top with the glazed salmon.

ANCHO CHILE-HONEY GLAZED SALMON (MESA GRILL)

Steps:

• Salmon: Whisk together honey, ancho chili powder and mustard in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat nonstick saute pan over high heat. Brush salmon with oil on both sides and season with salt and pepper.
• Place salmon in the pan, skin-side down and cook until golden brown and a crust has formed, about 2 to 3 minutes. Brush the top of the salmon with some of the ancho glaze, flip over, and continue cooking about 2 minutes longer, until a crust has formed and the salmon is cooked to medium.
• Remove salmon from the pan, glazed-side up and brush with some more of the ancho glaze. Spoon some of the Spicy Black Bean Sauce onto a plate, drizzle with some of the Roasted Jalapeno Crema and set the salmon in the center, glazed-side up.
• Black Bean Sauce: Combine the beans, onion, garlic, chipotles and cumin in a medium saucepan; add cold water to cover by an inch. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until beans are tender. Add more water if the beans appear dry.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer mixture to a food processor. Add 1 cup of the cooking liquid and process until almost smooth; sauce should be a little chunky. Season with salt.
• Roasted Jalapeno Crema: Place crema and jalapenos in a food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

BLACK BEAN-GLAZED SALMON WITH GINGER CABBAGE

Steps:

• Ginger Cabbage, part 1: Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat; then add the shrimp. Fry until sizzling and fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Meanwhile, peel the ginger. Slice lengthwise into planks, then crosswise into matchsticks. Mince the matchsticks, then set aside. Cut the cabbage in half, then in quarters; cut out the core and discard. Roughly slice the cabbage into 1-inch strips. When the shrimp have browned slightly, remove and drain on paper towels. (Leave the skillet over high heat.)
• Ginger Cabbage, part 2: Layer the ginger, cabbage, and pepper flakes in the hot skillet and let cook undisturbed, 2-3 minutes. Meanwhile, smash the garlic cloves, remove peel, and mince. Scatter the garlic on top of the cabbage, then add the salt. Once the bottom layer has caramelized, use tongs to turn the cabbage so the caramelized cabbage sits on top; then continue to cook undisturbed until the rest of the cabbage is browned and caramelized, 3-4 minutes.
• Salmon: Preheat oven to 300 F. Cut salmon in half lengthwise along the bloodline (the darker flesh that runs along the center seam). Then cut each half crosswise into 3 equal portions. Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Season the flesh with a generous sprinkling of salt. Add oil to skillet; when shimmering, carefully add the fillets flesh side down, laying each piece away from you to prevent oil from splashing onto yourself. Let cook undisturbed until nicely browned, 2-3 minutes; meanwhile, season the skin with salt. Then flip the salmon. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon all over the caramelized side of the fillets, turn off the heat, and set aside. (If working in batches, repeat with remaining fillets.)
• Black Bean Sauce: In a small skillet over medium heat, add black bean sauce, hot sauce, and rice wine vinegar. In a small bowl, whisk together water and cornstarch to make a slurry. Whisk the slurry into the black bean mixture to thicken the sauce. Spoon sauce over the salmon to cover. Bake until salmon is cooked to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the Bean Sprout Salad.
• Bean Sprout Salad: Use a mandoline or a knife to thinly slice the radishes. (Tip: If using a knife, slice radishes in half first so they have a flat surface to rest on as you slice.) Rinse radishes in water (to minimize staining the other ingredients pink). Mince cilantro stems; you should have 2-3 tablespoons. Add bean sprouts to a bowl, followed by drained radishes, minced cilantro stems, and a few cilantro leaves. Add a pinch of salt and the juice of half a lemon; toss to combine.
• Assembly: Just before serving, mix the toasted shrimp into the Ginger Cabbage. Place a serving of the cabbage onto a plate; top with a salmon fillet and a spoonful of Bean Sprout Salad. Repeat with additional servings and serve immediately.
