ALASKA SOCKEYE SALMON WITH HERBS AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Remove Alaska Sockeye salmon from refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking. Heat grill to 375°F. Cut 2 pieces of wide, heavy-duty aluminum foil about 6-inches longer than the salmon side. Stack the foil pieces (shiny side down) on a baking sheet and spray generously with cooking spray. Place the salmon, skin side down, in the middle of the foil. Fold the foil sides and ends up (1 to 2-inches) to make a shallow pan around the salmon, leaving at least a 1-inch margin around the fish. Season salmon with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix together the wine, butter, garlic and herbs. Spoon the mixture over the top of the salmon, drizzling with any remaining liquid. Carefully transfer the foil pan to the center of the preheated grill. Do not cover the salmon with foil or close the foil over the salmon. Close grill cover and cook for 10 to 13 minutes, cooking just until fish is lightly translucent in the center - it will finish cooking from retained heat. Remove from the grill and let rest a few minutes before serving.
• Roast in an oven preheated to 375°F, cooking 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly translucent in the center. Be sure to let the salmon rest a few minutes before serving.

Add the miso and whisk until dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool, then remove 1/4 cup and set aside for brushing. Pour the remaining marinade over the salmon cubes in a baking dish, tossing to coat. Cover and refrigerate the salmon and reserved marinade for at least 6 hours and preferably overnight.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Lightly coat the hot grates with vegetable oil.
• Remove the salmon from the marinade and blot dry with a paper towel. Thread each skewer with 5 to 6 pieces each of salmon and shiitake, alternating between the two and piercing the salmon through the flesh and out the skin side.
• Place the skewers on the grill and lightly sprinkle each with salt. Grill for 1 minute on each side (so they cook evenly). Continue to grill, turning continuously, until the shiitake are tender and the salmon is browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes more.

CRISPY PAN SEARED SALMON

Steps:

Add the remaining salmon fillets, one at a time, pressing each with the spatula for 10 seconds. Cook for about 4 minutes. If skin resists lifting (or if it's sticking to the pan), allow the fish to cook for a little bit longer until you are able to lift up easily (no more than 6 minutes in total). Using the spatula and a fork to assist in flipping, flip the fish to the flesh side to cook for about 15 seconds or so. ( Salmon is ready when it registers 110°F (43°C) in the very center for rare, 120°F (49°C) for medium-rare, or 130°F (54°C) for medium, 5 to 7 minutes total.)
