Planked Salmon With Coconut Rice Recipes

PLANKED SALMON WITH COCONUT RICE

Steps:

• 1 Soak the plank in water for 4 hours. Put it on a baking sheet.
• 2 Preheat oven to 500°F.
• 3 In a bowl, combine the syrup, mustard, soy sauce, and lime juice. Add the fish; let it marinate for 10 minutes.
• 4 In a saucepan, bring the broth and coco­nut milk to a boil.
• 5 Stir in the rice. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, 20 minutes.
• 6 Lay the fish on the plank, skin side down. Sprinkle it with salt; drizzle it with marinade.
• 7 Bake until the thickest part is still springy, 12 to 15 minutes.

CEDAR PLANKED SALMON

Steps:

• Soak the cedar planks for at least 1 hour in warm water. Soak longer if you have time.
• In a shallow dish, stir together the vegetable oil, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, green onions, ginger, and garlic. Place the salmon fillets in the marinade and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to one hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat. Place the planks on the grate. The boards are ready when they start to smoke and crackle just a little.
• Place the salmon fillets onto the planks and discard the marinade. Cover, and grill for about 20 minutes. Fish is done when you can flake it with a fork. It will continue to cook after you remove it from the grill.

BAKED SALMON WITH COCONUT CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Place salmon fillets on a non-stick baking pan. Brush juice on salmon.
• In a shallow dish, combine panko, coconut, salt and pepper. Dredge each fillet in the mixture and return to baking pan. Spread leftover crumbs on top of each fillet. Coat with cooking spray.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. If desired, put under broiler until crust is golden brown.

THAI COCONUT RICE WITH SALMON

Steps:

• You will need a wide-based shallow casserole about 30cm in diameter, or a deep-sided sauté pan, with a tight-fitting lid as the salmon needs to steam in a single layer. Pick the coriander leaves off the stalks, finely chop the stalks and put the leaves in a bowl. Grate the zest of one of the limes. Set aside. Pour both cans of coconut milk into a large jug, then fill one of the empty cans with cold water and stir this into the jug.
• Heat the oil and butter in the pan over a lowish heat, tip in the shallots and sizzle gently for about 5 minutes, stirring, until they start to turn golden. Stir the curry paste in and cook for another minute.
• Take the pan off the heat and add the lime zest, coriander stalks, rice and a heaped teaspoon of salt, then mix everything together until the rice is coated in the curry paste. (You can prepare this up to two hours ahead.)
• Pour the coconut milk mixture over the rice and stir. Bring to simmering point on a medium heat, stirring gently now and then. Get the spoon right to the bottom of the pan so the rice doesn't stick to it. Scatter in the lime leaves and leave everything to simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
• Stir the rice once more, then lay the salmon fillets on top. Cover and leave to barely simmer over a very low heat for 15-20 minutes until the salmon looks cooked and the rice is tender. Cook everything very gently or you will have crunchy rice on the bottom and no liquid left.
• While the fish is cooking, juice two of the limes (the grated lime and another) and in a small bowl mix the juice with the soy sauce and sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Trim the spring onions, then split lengthways and slice into thin strands on the diagonal. Mix the spring onions and chilli with the coriander leaves. Cut the third lime into six wedges.
• When the rice and fish are ready, take the pan off the heat and leave to stand for 5 minutes. To serve, scatter a third of the coriander salad over everything in the pan. Spoon some coconut rice on each plate, then, using a fish slice, put a salmon portion on top. Drizzle with some of the soy and lime dressing and scatter a spoonful of the coriander salad on top. Give everyone a lime wedge to squeeze over it. Serve the remaining dressing if anyone wants extra, and a side salad.

SLOW ROASTED SALMON WITH BOK CHOY & COCONUT RICE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F.
• For the salmon, sprinkle evenly with 1/2 teaspoons salt and pepper. Place salmon, skin sides down on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 250°F for 30 minutes until fish flakes easily with fork or until desired doneness.
• For the rice, rise with cold water and drain. Combine rice with coconut milk, 1 1/2 cups cold water, and 1/4 teaspoons salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stir once. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes until all liquid is absorbed. Let stand 10 minutes and stir in green onions.
• For the bok choy, heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add bok choy and ginger, sauté for 1 minute. Add sake and 1/4 teaspoons salt; cover and cook 2 minutes or until bok choy wilts. Cover and keep warm.
• For the sauce, combine juice and remaining ingredients, stirring well with a whisk.
• Serve salmon with sauce, bok choy and rice.
