Salmon With Rice Noodles Recipes

SALMON WITH RICE NOODLES

Steps:

• Prepare the vermicelli following the instructions on the package. Drain and rinse with cold running water.
• Combine all the dressing ingredients and mix.
• Reserve about 1 Tbsp of the dressing to baste the fish.
• Toss the vermicelli, green onion, chilies, carrot and cilantro. Mix in the dressing or, if you prefer, drizzle the dressing over each individual portion on the plate before topping with the salmon.
• Brush reserved dressing over the fish.
• Heat about a Tbsp of vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan large enough to hold the fish. Over medium to medium-low heat, cook the fish for about 2 minutes on either side for translucent salmon. Cook longer if you prefer your salmon flaking and cooked through.
• Place 1/4 of the salad in the centre of the plates. Drizzle with the vinaigrette if you didn't mix it in.
• Top with the salmon. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if you like.

GRILLED CANDIED-GARLIC SALMON ON CRISPY RICE NOODLES AND BABY ASIAN GREENS

Steps:

• Prepare candied garlic by combining garlic, water, wine, sugar, and butter in a small saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes or until syrupy, but the garlic should not be mushy. Remove garlic to cool. Reserve syrup for the dressing.
• Marinate the salmon: Combine the fish sauce, lime juice, 1 clove of pressed garlic, ginger, and curry paste and mix well. Remove 1/4 cup of the mixture and set aside. Place the remaining mixture in a shallow bowl and add the salmon. Marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
• To the reserved marinade, add the reserved syrup from the candied dressing and the remaining clove of pressed garlic and whisk well. Set aside.
• Preheat the grill.
• Heat 2-inches of oil in a large, deep pot to 350 degrees F. Fry rice noodles according to the package directions, a few at a time, draining on paper towels. (They'll look like Styrofoam.) Set aside. Keep oil hot for the next step.
• Coat the thinly sliced shallots with flour, shaking off any excess and fry until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towel and set aside.
• Mix the snap peas, scallions and greens in a bowl.
• Remove the salmon from the marinade and grill about 5 minutes per side, or to desired degree of doneness.
• Putting it together: Toss greens with dressing and divide among 6 plates. Top each serving with crispy noodles, then top with a serving of salmon. Top each salmon with fried shallots and candied garlic. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
