WASABI CRUSTED SALMON RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Marinade: Place the wasabi in a small bowl and slowly add in the water, whisking, to make a paste.
• Add the vinegar and soy, and whisk well.
• Place the salmon fillets in a glass baking dish or ziplock bag and coat evenly on both sides with the wasabi mixture.
• Season lightly with the Essence.
• Place the panko crumbs in a shallow dish.
• Turn both sides of the fillets in the crumbs to coat evenly, pressing to make the crumbs adhere.
• Set on a waxed paper lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• MAKE SAUCE: In a medium, heavy saucepan, combine the shallots, ginger, orange zest, wine, and orange juice and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced in volume by 2/3. Add the cream and cook until reduced by 1/2.
• Whisking constantly, add the butter a bit at a time, waiting until each is completely incorporated before adding the next piece.
• Continue whisking until the sauce is smooth.
• Add the soy sauce, salt, to taste, and wasabi.
• Serve warm with the Wasabi-Crusted Salmon. (NOTE: If not being served immediately, place in a hot water bath, covered, and stir occasionally).
• Salmon: In a large skillet or saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
• Add the fish and cook until medium-rare, about 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending upon the thickness of the fish.
• Divide among 4 serving plates, drizzle with the Orange-Ginger Sauce, and dust with the seeds.
• Serve immediately with steamed rice, and pass the remaining sauce at the table.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Blend wasabi peas in processor until ground but with some coarsely crushed pieces. Lightly oil rimmed baking sheet. Arrange salmon fillets, skin side down, on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle fish with salt. Press ground wasabi peas onto tops of salmon fillets to adhere, covering tops completely. Sprinkle grated lime peel over salmon; drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Roast salmon just until opaque in center, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add cabbage and sugar snap peas; sauté until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Transfer 1 salmon fillet to each of 4 plates. Drizzle with lime juice. Mound cabbage-snap pea mixture alongside. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.
