Salmon With Shiitake Relish Recipes

SPICED SALMON WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOM RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine brown sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, chili powder, lemon rind, cumin and salt in a bowl.
• Splash a bit of lemon juice over each piece of fish and then rub the spice mixture all over the fish.
• Place in a dish and bake for 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
• While that's cooking you can make the relish.
• In a bowl, toss the mushrooms, tomatoes, chili peppers, garlic, onion, salt and pepper with 2 tablespoons of the oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
• Heat the remaining oil in a small pan and fry the mushroom mixture for about five minutes or until cooked through and the tomatoes have softened.
• Put in a bowl, draining off any excess juices, and add the herbs, vinegar and lemon juice to the mushroom mixture.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper, before serving alongside the salmon with some basmati rice.

30-MINUTE PAN-SEARED SALMON WITH BABY BOK CHOY AND SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Combine 1 1/2 cups water with the rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the rice is tender and most of the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest. Fluff with a fork right before serving.
• Meanwhile, quarter the bok choy through the stem ends. Halve the mushroom caps (or quarter them if they are large) by stacking them and cutting them in batches.
• Heat 2 large nonstick skillets with 1 tablespoon oil in each over medium-high heat. Divide the bok choy between the two pans, placing it cut-side down. Cook, undisturbed, until charred in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. By this time, the leaves will be fairly wilted, and there will be enough room to transfer all of the bok choy into just one skillet to finish cooking. Place the bok choy so that the other cut side faces down. Cook until charred in spots, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, scallion whites, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Continue to cook, stirring, until the bok choy and mushrooms are soft, about 4 minutes (if the skillet looks dry add 1 more tablespoon of oil). Stir in the scallion greens, then remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the soy sauce and vinegar.
• While the bok choy cooks, pat the fish dry with paper towels and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Wipe out the other skillet and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Put the salmon into the hot skillet, flesh-side down, and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook the other side to the desired level of doneness, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Divide the vegetables and rice between 4 plates and top each with a piece of salmon. Drizzle with a little extra soy sauce.

SALMON WITH GREENS AND SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a nonstick pan or griddle over medium-high heat add salmon and cook for about 4 minutes per side, flipping with a spatula. While the salmon is cooking, to a large cold skillet, add 2 tablespoons oil and garlic, then, turn pan on to protect garlic from burning. Add sliced mushrooms, and bok choy stalks, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Cover pan and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and add the bok choy leaves, soy sauce, sesame oil, and continue to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes or until the leaves have wilted.
• Pile the mushrooms and greens on a plate with the salmon. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

MISO-MARINATED SALMON WITH CITRUS AND SHIITAKES

Steps:

• Marinate salmon:
• Line a large shallow (1-inch-deep) baking pan with plastic wrap and arrange salmon fillets, skin sides down, in it. Stir together miso and sake and spread over flesh sides of salmon to completely cover. Cover with plastic wrap and chill 24 to 48 hours.
• Make shiitakes with citrus zests:
• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking, then saut shiitakes with salt to taste, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and nearly dry, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to paper towels.
• While mushrooms are cooking, remove zest from navel oranges and lemons in long, thin strips, preferably with a 5-holed citrus zester.
• Heat remaining 1/2 cup oil in a 10-inch skillet over moderately low heat until hot and cook zests in 4 batches, stirring frequently, until curly and crisp, about 1 minute.
• Transfer to paper towels with mushrooms. When mushrooms and zests are cool, transfer to a bowl. Just before serving, toss together with cilantro and chives.
• Roast salmon:
• Preheat oven to 500°F.
• Gently scrape miso from salmon with a rubber spatula and discard miso. Arrange salmon fillets, skin sides down, in 2 well-greased large shallow (1-inch-deep) baking pans (tail ends may hang over ends of pans slightly). Roast salmon in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of pans after 10 minutes, until edges begin to brown and salmon is just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes total.
• Transfer each salmon fillet to a platter using 2 large metal spatulas. (If fillets break as you're transferring them, simply piece them together on the platter.) Pour orange and lemon juices over salmon and sprinkle with shiitake mixture.

SALMON AND SHIITAKES WRAPPED IN LETTUCE LEAVES

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and the water and cook until the mushrooms are wilted, about 5 minutes. Season with the salt and pepper to taste.
• Steam the lettuce over the steaming liquid for 30 seconds. Remove the liquid from the heat. Cut the center stem out of each leaf and overlap the flaps where the stem was. Season the salmon with salt and pepper.
• Place 1 piece of salmon on the center of each leaf and top with some mushrooms. Fold the sides of the leaf in over the salmon and mushrooms. Then fold the bottom over the salmon, rolling it up to make a tight package. Repeat.
• Bring the steaming liquid back to a simmer, place the salmon in the steamer, cover and steam for 8 minutes. Place 2 packages on each of 4 plates and serve immediately.

SESAME SALMON WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS AND PEA SHOOTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut out four 12-by-17-inch pieces of parchment; fold each in half crosswise to form a crease, then open.
• Combine soy sauce, ginger, and lemon juice, and toss with mushrooms. Divide evenly among 4 parchment pieces, arranging mixture on 1 side of each crease. Lay 1 salmon fillet on top of each pile. Season each with 1/8 teaspoon salt and the sesame oil. Fold parchment over ingredients; make overlapping pleats to seal.
• Bake on 2 baking sheets (2 packets per sheet) for 10 to 11 minutes for medium-rare or 12 minutes for medium. Unwrap; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Top with pea shoots.

BROILED SALMON WITH ASPARAGUS AND SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler with rack 4 inches from heating element. Stir together soy sauce, lemon juice, sugar, and ginger in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved.
• In a large straight-sided ovenproof skillet, toss asparagus and mushrooms with oil, season lightly with salt and pepper, and spread in an even layer. Broil 5 minutes. Add soy-sauce mixture, stir to coat, and broil 3 minutes more.
• Add salmon, sprinkle with salt, and drizzle with oil and some sauce from pan. Broil 2 to 3 minutes more (for medium-rare). Serve, with lemon wedges.

SALMON STIR-FRIED SHIRATAKI

Steps:

• Chop the clove of garlic.
• Marinate the first six ingredients together for a few hours or overnight.
• If using shiitake mushroom, soak it in warm water overnight best or for about twenty minutes.
