Sesame Salmon Subs With Cucumber Pickle Recipes

SESAME SALMON SUBS WITH CUCUMBER PICKLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Spread the sesame seeds over a large plate. Season the salmon fillets if you like, then dip into the beaten egg and roll in the sesame seeds. Place on a baking tray and roast for 10 mins or until firm and the sesame seeds are golden.
• Split sub rolls, fill with a little of the spinach and watercress salad, then top with the salmon fillet. Serve with the cucumber pickle on the side and soy sauce for splashing, if you like.

SALMON FILLET WITH CUCUMBER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium heat. Spray a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil or a doubled-up piece of regular aluminum foil with non-stick cooking spray. Lay salmon fillet out on foil and season with salt and pepper.
• In a mixing bowl, combine mayo, dill and horseradish. Spread mixture over salmon fillet evenly with a rubber spatula. Shingle cucumber slices on top of mayo mixture. Transfer aluminum foil with salmon onto preheated grill and close lid. Cook for 15-20 minutes. Let salmon cool for a few minutes before slicing.

SOY-GLAZED SALMON WITH CUCUMBER-AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mix the honey, 2 teaspoons soy sauce and the cornstarch in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until just simmering, 30 to 40 seconds.
• Rub the fish fillets all over with 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil and season lightly with salt. Place the fish in a baking dish and bake 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with the honey-soy sauce mixture. Return the fish to the oven and continue baking until just cooked through, 7 to 9 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the rice vinegar, mayonnaise and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon each soy sauce and sesame oil in a large bowl. Add the cucumber, scallions and 1/4 teaspoon salt and toss. Gently fold in the avocado. Serve the salmon with the salad and pickled ginger.

SMOKED SALMON ON CUCUMBER WITH CREME FRAICHE AND DILL

Steps:

• Using a mandoline (or better knife skills than I have), slice the cucumber into sturdy, even slices and arrange on a service plate.
• Top each with an equal tidbit of salmon. Hint: it folds into pretty shapes if cut with the grain of the fish.
• Stir the creme fraiche until smooth and dab a mere teaspoonful over salmon.
• Separate tiny branches of the baby dill and set upright in or atop cream fraiche. Use remaining branches to garnish plate.
• Put the pepper in one palm and scatter by pinches from about a foot above the platter.

SESAME SALMON BOWLS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar and salt; stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the rice and 1 3/4 cups water, and mix well. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
• In a small bowl, toss salmon with 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil and season with salt. Once rice is tender (after about 20 minutes), arrange salmon in an even layer on top of rice. Cover and steam over low heat until fish is cooked to medium, about 12 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine soy sauce, white vinegar, safflower oil, scallions, ginger and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil. Mix well, and season with salt.
• Scoop salmon and rice into bowls. Top each with some cucumbers, coleslaw mix and avocado. Drizzle with the vinaigrette. Top with nori, if using.

Steps:

• Make tartare: In a small bowl, combine salmon, onion, cilantro, jalapeno, and zest. Season with salt and pepper.
• Using a paring knife or vegetable peeler, remove skin on two opposite sides of cucumber. Trim the ends, and cut cucumber crosswise into 48 slices, 1/4 inch thick. Place slices on paper towels to dry.
• Using a butter knife or a small offset spatula, spread about 1/2 teaspoon of creme fraiche on half of the cucumber slices, and then top with a teaspoon of tartare. Place remaining cucumber slices on top, followed by a small dollop of creme fraiche and a piece of lime. Serve immediately, or chill, covered with plastic wrap, up to 1 hour.
