Michael Symons Grilled Salmon And Zucchini Salad Recipe 475

QUICK-PICKLED ZUCCHINI SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
• Place a saucepot over direct heat. Add the vinegar, 1 cup water, sugar, salt, garlic and dill and bring to a boil while whisking to dissolve the sugar.
• Add the zucchini to a large bowl and pour the pickling liquid over. Let stand until the zucchini are pickled but still firm, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the zucchini from the pickling liquid and drain slightly in a colander set over a large bowl. Discard the garlic and dill.
• To assemble the salad: Place the pickled zucchini onto a platter. Distribute the mozzarella and tomatoes evenly over top. Zest the lemon over top and squeeze the lemon juice all over. Drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and serve at room temperature.
• (Alternatively, you can boil the pickling liquid over medium-high heat on a stovetop.)

PLANKED EVERYTHING BAGEL SPICED SALMON

Steps:

• Soak a large cedar plank (big enough to fit the entire salmon fillet) in water for at least 30 minutes.
• Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Allow the temperature to heat to 350 degrees F.
• While your grill is coming up to temperature, prepare the salmon. Place the salmon skin-side down on the cedar plank. Brush the flesh side of the salmon with the mustard, then liberally season with the everything spice.
• Place on the indirect heat side of the grill, close the lid, and cook until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 125 degrees F, 20 to 22 minutes. Cook the salmon longer if you like it more done. Cut into slices and serve.
• Oven method: Bake on a rimmed baking sheet at 350 degrees F until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 125 degrees F, 20 to 22 minutes.

QUICK MARINATED GRILLED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Set up your grill for high heat by building coals evenly on the bottom of the grill.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon zest and juice, garlic, chopped oregano and 1/2 cup olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then add the scallops, tossing to coat. Allow to marinate for 10 to 30 minutes.
• Remove the scallops from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting. Place the scallops on the grill and cook until charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, and using the oregano brush, baste with the leftover marinade. Char on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the grill and serve.
