Sesame Salmon With Maple Soy Glaze Recipes

SESAME SALMON WITH MAPLE SOY GLAZE

Steps:

• Remove the scales and pin bones from the salmon fillet, if it hasn't already been done. Leave the skin on.
• Cut the salmon fillet into individual portions.
• Fill a shallow bowl with the sesame seeds. Dip the tops of the salmon fillet portions into the sesame seeds so that a sesame 'crust' is formed, then set the fish aside.
• Prepare the sauce, if you haven't already done so.
• Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and oil and melt/swirl to cover the bottom.
• Add the fish, skin side down. Cook until the skin is browned and the fish is starting to cook through from the bottom (about 4-5 minutes). Spoon butter/oil over the tops of the fillets as they cook.
• Gently flip the fish over and cook, sesame-seed-side down, for an additional 2 minutes or so. Remove the finished fish from the pan.
• Add the finished sauce to the hot pan. It will quickly come to a boil, so don't let it sit in the pan too long or it will scorch the sugars. Pour the sauce (now combined with butter/oil and some stray sesame seeds) into a bowl to serve.
• Serve the salmon fillets with sauce poured over top. Garnish with chopped scallions and fried shallots, if using.

EASY MAPLE SESAME SALMON

Steps:

• Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish, sealable container, or zipped-top bag. Whisk the maple syrup, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic together in a medium bowl. Pour over the salmon fillets, coating them thoroughly. Cover the dish/seal the container or bag. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or up to 8-9 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, parchment paper, or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
• Line the marinated salmon fillets on the baking sheet and top each with sesame seeds. Hold onto the used marinade-see step 4. Bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes depending on thickness, about 10 minutes per 1-inch inch thickness measured from the thickest part of the fillet or until the thickest part reaches 145°F (63°C) internal heat. If desired (for crispier edges), broil the salmon on high for the last 3 minutes.
• Pour the used marinade into a small saucepan or skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Remove cooked salmon from the oven. Garnish with chopped scallion and serve with thickened maple glaze.

GLAZED SESAME SALMON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a shallow dish, mix together the chilli sauce, soy, sesame oil, rice wine, garlic and ginger. Lay the pieces of salmon in the marinade, skin-side up, and set aside for 15 mins.
• Put the marinated salmon on a baking tray, skin-side down, and spoon over a little of the leftover marinade. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and roast in the oven for 15 mins, or until done to your liking. Serve with steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables.

SOY-SESAME SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Whisk together soy sauce, honey, orange juice, toasted-sesame oil, and ginger in a medium glass baking dish. Add salmon fillets, skin side up. Let stand for 15 minutes to marinate.
• Transfer salmon to a rimmed baking sheet, flesh side up; reserve marinade. Broil salmon until flesh is slightly firm to the touch, 5 to 6 minutes. Meanwhile, bring marinade to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Drizzle glaze over salmon.
