Chile Salmon With Spicy Pineapple Salsa Recipes

BLACKENED SALMON WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• In a bowl, combine the blackening seasoning: the paprika, garlic granules, thyme, cayenne, and black pepper. Rub the seasoning onto all sides of the salmon.
• Coat a baking sheet with the coconut oil spray, then place the seasoned salmon on the sheet and bake it for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the salmon is firm but not dry.
• While the salmon is baking, prepare the salsa. Combine all the salsa ingredients in a bowl and let the flavors meld at room temperature until the salmon is ready. Top the cooked salmon with half the salsa, and reserve the other half in the fridge.

SALMON WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA AND SPICY CHILE SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix mayonnaise and chipotle chiles in small bowl. Mix pineapple, ginger preserves, lime juice, fresh ginger, and cilantro in another small bowl for salsa. Season salsa with salt and pepper.
• Brush salmon with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon and sauté until just opaque in the center, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer fish to plates. Spoon chile mayonnaise over. Spoon pineapple salsa alongside.

GRILLED SALMON WITH CHILI-LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• To marinate the fish, combine the oil, ginger, garlic, shallots, fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar in a medium bowl; stir until sugar is dissolved and everything is mixed well.
• Place the salmon fillets in the bowl and turn to coat with the marinade (or put the salmon in a zip lock bag, add the marinade, squeeze out air, and seal).
• Cover and set aside for 20 to 30 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
• To prepare the sauce, combine all ingredients listed for the sauce in a small bowl; stir to dissolve the sugar and mix everything well.
• To cook the fish, build a hot charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
• Place the fish carefully on the grill for about 5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fish and how well you like it done.
• Transfer to a serving platter alongside the Chili-Lime Sauce and serve hot or warm.
• Note: To bake in the oven, preheat oven to 375F and bake for about 15 minutes.

CHILE GARLIC BBQ SALMON

Steps:

• Prepare outdoor grill for high heat.
• Trim the tail and fins off of the salmon. Make several shallow cuts across the salmon's skin. Place salmon on 3 large, slightly overlapping sheets of aluminum foil.
• In a bowl, stir together soy sauce, chile sauce, ginger, and garlic. Mix in lime juice, lime zest, and brown sugar. Spoon sauce over the salmon.
• Fold the foil over the salmon, and crimp the edges to seal.
• If using hot coals, move them to one side of the grill. Place the fish on the side of the grill that does not have coals directly underneath it, and close the lid. If using a gas grill, place the fish on one side, and turn off the flames directly underneath it; close the lid. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove to a serving platter, and pour any juices that may have collected in the foil over the top of the fish. Sprinkle with green onions.

SALMON WITH SPICY CUCUMBER-PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, and 1 tablespoon oil; add cucumbers, pineapple, scallions, jalapeno, and basil. Season with salt and pepper; toss gently to combine.
• Generously season salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat remaining tablespoon oil over medium-high; add salmon, skin side down. Cook until skin is crispy and salmon is opaque about 3/4 of the way through, 4 to 6 minutes. Turn salmon over, and continue to cook just until opaque throughout, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve salmon topped with salsa.
