Pan Fried Salmon With Green Coconut Chutney Recipes

PAN-FRIED SALMON WITH GREEN-COCONUT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Prepare the chutney: In a food processor, blend the coconut, cilantro, chile, ginger and lime juice with 2 to 3 tablespoons of water for a couple of seconds to get a coarse mixture. Add a little water (about 1 tablespoon) if needed to loosen. If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth. Taste and season with salt. Transfer to a bowl. (This chutney can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.)
• Prepare the salmon: Place the salmon skin-side down on paper towels. Heat the ghee and oil together in a medium skillet over medium and swirl the pan to coat the surface well. When the pan is hot, season the fillets on both sides with salt and place them in the skillet, skin-side down. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the fish cook undisturbed for 8 minutes, until the edges of the skin start to turn crispy and golden brown.
• Tilt the skillet slightly and, using a spoon, collect the hot fat that collects at the edge and ladle it over the top of the fish several times. Continue basting the fish until the tops turn opaque and a digital thermometer inserted into the center of the fish reads 125 degrees, about 2 minutes. (The exact cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillet.) Use a spatula or a pair of kitchen tongs to carefully release the fish from the pan. (It should release easily if the skin is crisp.)
• To serve, divide the chutney between two serving plates. Place the cooked fish on top, skin-side up.
• Prepare the tadka: Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium. When the oil is hot, drop in one or two mustard seeds; they should sizzle if the oil is hot enough. Add the remaining mustard seeds and swirl. The seeds should pop, and turn fragrant in 30 to 45 seconds. Add the curry leaves and cover the saucepan with a lid, swirl the contents of the saucepan, cook for 15 seconds until the curry leaves release their aroma. Remove from heat, add the red-pepper flakes and let the mixture sit for 1 minute. Pour the oil and spices over the fish and the chutney. Serve immediately.

PAN-FRIED SALMON WITH GREEN GODDESS TZATZIKI

Steps:

• For the tzatziki: Combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, basil, chives, tarragon, vinegar, salt and pepper in a food processor. Blend until the herbs are finely chopped and the sauce is pale green. Scrape the sauce into a bowl.
• Coarsely grate the cucumber using the large holes of a box grater onto a paper-towel-lined-plate; pat dry. Mix the cucumber into the tzatziki. Add salt and pepper to taste. The tzatziki can be made 4 hours ahead, covered and chilled, and stirred before serving.
• For the salmon: Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Cook the salmon, skinned-side-up, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip the fish using a fish spatula and cook for 2 minutes for medium doneness.
• Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled with the tzatziki. To serve chilled, cool, cover, and chill up to 1 day.

PAN-FRIED SALMON

Steps:

• Bring the salmon to room temperature 10 minutes before cooking.
• Warm a large nonstick skillet with oil over medium-low heat. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Raise the heat to medium-high. Place the salmon, skin-side up in the pan. Cook until golden brown on 1 side, about 4 minutes. Turn the fish over with a spatula, and cook until it feels firm to the touch and the skin is crisp if desired, about 3 minutes more.
• The skin can be served or removed easily with a knife or spoon.
• Transfer to a plate and serve as desired.

PAN-FRIED SALMON

Steps:

• Generously season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Put the oil and butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, swirling around the pan until melted and foaming, then turn up the heat. Once the butter starts bubbling, add the salmon fillets to the pan, skin-side-down, and fry for 3 mins until crisp. Flip the fillets over, lower the heat and cook for 2 mins more, then drizzle with the lemon juice. Transfer the salmon to a plate and baste with any of the buttery juices left in the pan.

PAN-FRIED SALMON

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Pour in lemon juice and swirl the skillet to mix melted butter and lemon juice.
• Place salmon fillets, flesh side down, in the pan and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Spoon lemon butter over the top of the fillets as they cook. Turn fillets over with a spatula and cook for an additional 1 or 2 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Season with salt and pepper.

WILD SALMON WITH COCONUT CHUTNEY & GREEN PILAU

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Heat the oil in a large non-stick wok and add the onion, ginger, garlic and chilli. Cook briefly over a high heat to mix everything, then cover and leave to cook gently for about 10 mins until the onions are soft. Scoop two spoonfuls of the mixture into a bowl, add the coriander, mint, coconut, lime zest and juice with 1 tbsp water and blitz to a purée with a stick bender.
• Meanwhile, boil the rice for 20 mins, then drain.
• Spread half the coconut mixture over the fish and wrap up in a parcel of foil. Bake for 10 mins.
• Carry on cooking the onions, uncovered this time, until they start to brown. Add the spring greens and stir-fry for a few mins until softened. Add the rice and peas with the ground coriander and cook until the veg is tender. If the mixture starts to stick, add 1 tbsp water. Stir through the remaining coconut mixture, then serve with the fish.

PAN-FRIED COCONUT KING SALMON

Steps:

• Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Set aside.
• Mix brown sugar, coconut, and salt together in a shallow bowl.
• Heat remaining butter in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Dip each piece of salmon first into the melted butter and then into the coconut mixture; drop into the hot butter. Sear quickly, about 2 minutes. Flip and sear on the other side, about 2 minutes more.
• Remove skillet from the heat and cover for a few minutes or until ready to serve; this helps caramelize the coconut crust.

GOCHUGARU SALMON WITH CRISPY RICE

Steps:

• Season the salmon on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and sear the salmon fillets skin side down until the skin is browned and crispy, 2 to 5 minutes. The salmon's orange flesh will begin to turn pale coral as the heat slowly creeps up the sides of the fish; you want that coral color to come up about two-thirds of the way at this point for a nice medium-rare. Carefully flip the salmon and cook the second side until the flesh feels firm, another 1 to 2 minutes. When you press it, it should not feel wobbly. Transfer the salmon to a plate skin side down and keep the pan with the rendered fat over the heat.
• Add the rice to the fat in the pan and spread in an even layer, packing it down as if making a rice pancake. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the bottom is lightly browned and toasted, about 5 minutes. You should hear it crackle. Flip the rice like a pancake, using a spatula if needed. You may not be able to flip it all in one piece, but that's OK. Cook until lightly toasted on the second side, another 1 to 2 minutes. Go longer if you want crispier rice, but the trifecta of crispy-chewy-soft tastes wonderful.
• While the rice is cooking, stir together the gochugaru, maple syrup, rice vinegar and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. When the rice is done, divide it evenly among the plates. In the now empty pan, add the gochugaru mixture and cook, stirring constantly, over medium-high heat until it bubbles up and reduces significantly, 15 seconds to 1 minute. It should look pretty sticky. Turn off the heat and add the cold butter, stirring with a wooden spoon or tongs until fully melted and incorporated into the gochugaru mixture. Pour this glaze over the salmon and serve with cucumbers or pickles if you'd like.
