Pepper And Coriander Coated Salmon Recipes

SPICE-COATED SALMON

Steps:

• Put salmon skin side down on large sheet of heavy-duty foil and run your hand lightly up the middle of it, lengthwise. If you feel some prickly little bones, pull them out with a clean tweezer or small pliers.
• Mix cumin, coriander, salt, olive oil and all but one tablespoon lemon juice together and brush over salmon. Allow to marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes. Transfer salmon on foil to broiling pan.
• Preheat oven broiler to very hot. Position the oven rack so the salmon is no farther than four inches from source of heat.
• Broil salmon three to five minutes, watching carefully, until top is attractively browned and fish is slightly undercooked in the middle. If you like salmon done this way, remove from oven and transfer to serving platter. Otherwise, shut off broiler and leave salmon in hot oven another three to five minutes, to desired degree of doneness.
• Sprinkle with the remaining lemon juice, black pepper to taste and herbs, and serve.

CORIANDER-CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine coriander, flour, almonds, salt, and pepper. Place on a shallow dish. Drizzle flesh side of salmon with olive oil and coat with coriander mixture.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat about 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, carefully place salmon in the pan, flesh side down. Let cook, without moving, 2 minutes. Turn, and cook, until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Drizzle with olive oil and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

CRISPY-COATED LEMON-PEPPER SALMON

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In shallow dish, place buttermilk. In small bowl, mix butter and bread crumbs. Dip salmon in buttermilk. Press crumb mixture evenly on tops of salmon.
• Carefully brush oil on grill rack. Place salmon, skin side down, on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 10 to 14 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork.

CORIANDER SALMON

Steps:

• In a small dish, combine the salt, pepper and coriander. Sprinkle over salmon. In a nonstick skillet, cook salmon in oil over medium heat for 4 minutes on each side. Add the garlic, lime juice and hot pepper sauce. Reduce heat; cover and cook 3-4 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

CORIANDER AND MUSTARD SEED CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• For the crust: In a bowl, blend the panko, mustard seeds, coriander seeds and parsley together. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the wash: In a second bowl, blend the mustard with 1/2 cup water, whisking well to blend.
• For the sauce: Whisk the yogurt, sour cream, watercress, vinegar, mint and garlic in a bowl. To ensure the spices are blended, scrape the sides and whisk a second time. Hold at room temperature if using within 30 minutes, or refrigerate for future usage.
• For the salmon: Coat the salmon with the wash, and then finish the top side (skin side) with the crust. Repeat the process with each fillet.
• In medium saute pan over medium heat, coat the bottom of the pan with the oil. When warmed, add the crusted side of the salmon to the pan and cook, in batches, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the fish and finish cooking until desired temperature. Remove from the pan.
• Finally, sauce the plates with 2 ounces of the watercress/mint sauce. Top with the salmon and fresh herbs if desired.

PEPPER- AND CORIANDER-COATED SALMON FILLETS

Steps:

• Mix parsley and orange peel in small bowl. Mix coriander, brown sugar and black pepper in medium bowl. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover separately. Chill parsley mixture. Store spice mixture at room temperature.)
• Sprinkle salmon with salt. Coat salmon on all sides with spice mixture. Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1/2 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 salmon fillets. Cook fish until crust is golden and center is just opaque, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer fish to platter. Tent with foil to keep warm. Wipe skillet. Repeat with remaining butter, oil and salmon. Spoon parsley mixture atop salmon and serve.

CORIANDER CRUSTED SALMON ON WARM POTATO AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Coat each salmon fillet on 1 side with the ground coriander and black pepper, and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, soy sauce, chives, red onions, and rice wine vinegar. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Set aside. Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes with the skins on. Blanch in very salty water and keep warm.
• In a small pot over medium heat add the blanched potatoes and dressing and bring to a slow simmer. Season with salt and pepper and keep aside.
• With a very hot skillet, sear the salmon, coriander side down, with a little olive oil. Cook on 1 side for approximately 1 to 2 minutes, and then flip over and place on a small oven proof platter to finish in the oven for about 5 minutes.
• In a bowl, mix the arugula with the lime juice, black pepper, and salt.
• To serve, spoon the warm potato salad on the center of each plate. Place the salmon fillets on top and add the arugula around the plate.

CORIANDER COATED SALMON

Steps:

• Mix the orange peel and parsley (and a chopped clove of garlic if you like it) in a bowl and chill.
• Mix the corander, pepper and brown sugar in another bowl.
• Sprinkle the salmon with a little salt. Coat salmon on all sides with the spice mixture.
• Melt 1/2 Tbsp butter and 1/2 Tbsp oil in a heavy large skillet over med-high heat.
• Add 3 salmon fillets. Cook fish until the crust is golden and center is opaque, about 4 minutes per side. (I like salmon on the rare side, so cook only 3 minutes if you do too).
• Transfer to a platter, tent with foil to keep warm. Wipe skillet, and then repeat with remaining butter, oil and salmon.
• When all the salmon is done, spoon the fresh parsley mix on top and serve.

CUMIN CORIANDER CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Combine cilantro shallots, oil, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper in a small bowl, stirring to form a paste. (can be made ahead of time).
• Place fish, skin side down, in a shallow baking dish. Coat with cilantro mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400.
• Arrange fish on the rack of a roasting pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400 for 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.
• Serve with lemon wedges.
• Note: The recipe called for 2 tsp oil, but with the fish being as oily as it is, you can get away with 1 teaspoons.
