ELI'S ASIAN SALMON

Steps:

• Line an 8 by 12-inch baking pan with aluminum foil. Place the salmon in the pan.
• In a mixing cup, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, lemon juice, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, chili paste, scallions, garlic, and ginger. Pour 1/3 of soy sauce mixture over the salmon fillet. Sprinkle the panko evenly over the fillet. Pour the rest of the soy sauce mixture evenly over the panko. Be sure to soak the panko completely and if any runs off, spoon back onto the salmon. Set aside for 15 minutes, leaving all the sauce in the pan.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Roast the salmon for 18 to 20 minutes, or for about 12 minutes per inch at the thickest part of the salmon. The internal temperature will be 120 degrees F on a meat thermometer when it's done. Remove from the oven, wrap tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

ASIAN GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Light charcoal briquettes in a grill and brush the grilling rack with oil to keep the salmon from sticking.
• While the grill is heating, lay the salmon skin side down on a cutting board and cut it crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Whisk together the mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic in a small bowl. Drizzle half of the marinade onto the salmon and allow it to sit for 10 minutes.
• Place the salmon skin side down on the hot grill; discard the marinade the fish was sitting in. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Turn carefully with a wide spatula and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes. The salmon will be slightly raw in the center, but don't worry; it will keep cooking as it sits.
• Transfer the fish to a flat plate, skin side down, and spoon the reserved marinade on top. Allow the fish to rest for 10 minutes. Remove the skin and serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

ASIAN SALMON PATTIES

Steps:

• Heat sesame oil in skillet over medium heat until it bubbles around the tip of a spoon when dipped in.
• Mix salmon, eggs, panko, bell pepper, green onions, ginger, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and five-spice powder together in a bowl. Form mixture into patties and set, evenly spaced, into the hot oil in the skillet.
• Brown patties, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and brown on the other side, 4 to 5 minutes more. Remove patties from pan and drain on a paper-towel lined plate to drain excess oil.
