Ginger Scallion Crusted Salmon

Ginger Scallion Crusted Salmon

By: Ryan Nomura

"Asian flavors accentuate the best fresh salmon that is available to you. If you don't have access to good quality fresh salmon, substitute tuna, mahi mahi, swordfish, monkfish, or wahoo."

Ingredients
  • Cucumber Salad:
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup mirin (Japanese rice wine)
  • 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
  • 2 cucumbers, halved, seeded, and cut into very thin slices
  • Ginger Crust:
  • 1/3 cup minced fresh ginger root
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup peanut oil
  • Salmon:
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 4 - 8 oz. center-cut salmon fillets
  • 1 pinch Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Ponzu Butter:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 shallots, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 3 tablespoons ponzu sauce
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 pinch Kosher salt to taste
 
Directions
  1. To make the cucumber salad, stir together sesame oil, dill, rice vinegar, mirin, and sesame seeds in a glass or plastic bowl; add cucumber, and toss until well coated. Cover, and refrigerate for 2 Hours. Let sit at room temperature for 30 Mins before serving.
  2. To prepare the ginger crust, stir together the ginger, green onions, and garlic in a sturdy, metal bowl; set aside. Heat 1/4 cup peanut oil in a small saucepan over high heat until it begins to smoke. Remove from heat, and carefully stir in the ginger mixture; set aside.
  3. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a large, ovenproof, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season salmon fillets to taste with salt and pepper. Sear salmon until golden brown on both sides, 30 to 40 seconds per side. Transfer to a plate, and wipe excess oil from skillet. Spread honey over top of fillets, then evenly spread with reserved ginger crust.
  5. Replace salmon into the skillet, and place into the oven. Bake until the center of the salmon turns opaque, 6 to 7 Mins.
  6. Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stir in shallots, and cook until softened and translucent, about 2 Mins. Pour in white wine, then simmer until nearly evaporated. Add the ponzu sauce and heavy cream, reduce by 1/2. Remove from heat, then whisk in cold butter pieces until dissolved; season to taste with kosher salt.
  7. To assemble the dish, season the cucumber salad to taste with salt. Divide the salad evenly onto four plates, spreading it out into a 4 to 5-inch circle. Drizzle the ponzu butter onto the bare area of the plate, around the cucumber salad. Place a salmon fillet, crust-side up, on top of the salad, and serve.
