Kaffir Salmon With Grilled Limes Recipes

GRILLED SALMON WITH HONEY & LIME

Steps:

• Preheat the grill (or broiler).
• Whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and lime zest in a small bowl.
• Place the salmon on a baking dish covered with foil. Brush the salmon with the honey lime sauce and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Cook for 3-4 minutes per side on a prepared grill. If your fish normally sticks, cook it on foil sprayed with cooking spray. To broil, place in the oven and broil for 6-8 minutes or until the salmon is cooked to your liking. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on thickness of the fish.

LIME-MARINATED GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, mustard, ginger, garlic, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the salmon steaks, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil grate. Remove the salmon from marinade, and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
• Grill until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 10 minutes per side depending on thickness.

KAFFIR SALMON WITH GRILLED LIMES

Steps:

• Combine lime leaves, lime juice, ginger and sesame and chilli oils, and pour over salmon.
• Allow salmon to marinate for at least 10 minutes (longer would be better).
• Place salmon and limes, flesh side down, on preheated hot grill and cook for 1 minute on each side or until they are cooked to your liking.
• Serve salmon and grilled limes with salad greens tossed in a light lemon dressing.

CHILI-LIME GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, mix all ingredients except salmon and lime wedges. Spread mixture over flesh-side of salmon.
• When grill is heated, place salmon, skin side down, on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill over medium coals; cover grill. Cook 15 to 18 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork (do not turn salmon). Serve salmon with lime wedges.

GARLIC LIME SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. In a small bowl, mix the first 5 ingredients. Place salmon fillets on a broiler pan, skin side down. Broil 4-6 in. from heat until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 15-20 minutes. Brush frequently with onion mixture during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

LIME & GARLIC GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Place salmon in a flat tupperware container large enough to accomodate the filets in one layer.
• Press garlic directly onto salmon to save dishes.
• Add the rest of the ingredients.
• Put lid on container, shake gently to distribute marinade.
• Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
• Grill for 4 minutes (more for thicker filets) and enjoy!

GRILLED SALMON SALAD WITH LIME, CHILES AND HERBS

Steps:

• Light the grill for indirect heat, or heat the oven to 450 degrees.
• As the grill or oven heat up, make the dressing: Halve 1 lime, and squeeze its juice into a small bowl. Add the chile slices, half of the sliced shallot (save the rest for serving), the fish sauce and a pinch each salt and sugar. Let sit for 1 minute to dissolve the salt, then whisk in the olive oil. It won't emulsify, so mix again before using.
• Brush the salmon with oil, and place it in a grilling basket if you have one. Cook over the indirect (unlit) side of the grill, for 2 to 5 minutes per side, depending on how hot the grill is and how thick the salmon is. Note that individual fillets will cook faster than a single large piece. Check the salmon often. (Alternatively, roast the salmon on a baking sheet in the oven, until just cooked to taste, 7 to 12 minutes; you don't have to flip it.)
• As the salmon cooks, halve the other lime. Brush the cut sides with olive oil and grill, cut-side down, over direct heat until charred, about 1 minute. If using the oven, throw the halves, cut-side up, on the roasting pan with the salmon. They won't char, but they will cook and mellow in flavor, which is the aim.
• When the salmon is cooked, transfer it to a plate and spoon some dressing over it. Let it cool slightly, then break up the fish into large chunks.
• Place greens, remaining shallots, herbs, and radishes or cucumber, if using, in a large shallow bowl or on a platter, and add a little more of the dressing. Squeeze some of the juice from a charred lime half over it and drizzle with a little olive oil. Toss and taste, adding lime juice, olive oil or salt as needed.
• Top with the salmon chunks and drizzle with more (or all) of the dressing. Serve with the remaining charred lime half on the side for squeezing.

GRILLED SALMON WITH KAFFIR LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil with Thai seasoning in a medium mixing bowl and whisk to blend well. Add salmon and toss gently until completely coated. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 3 hours. Prepare charcoal grill. Grill salmon fillets 5 minutes on each side. Set aside and keep warm. Alternatively, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add salmon fillets and sear 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Or, preheat oven broiler, place salmon fillets, coated with leftover marinade, on a think pan and cook 5 to 6 minutes. For sauce, melt butter with olive oil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add coconut milk and like leaves and bring to boil, stirring constantly. Add cream, fish sauce, and white pepper and return to boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer 4 minutes. Strain sauce through fine sieve. Divide sauce among 4 serving plates, smoothing over entire bottom of plate. Place 1 salmon fillet on center of each plate. Sprinkle caviar over sauce, garnish with lime leaves, and serve.
