Pan Fried Miso Salmon bowl with Faro or Wheatberries

Pan Fried Miso Salmon bowl with Faro or Wheatberries by John Spottiswood

This dish is absolutely amazing and also makes a beautiful and fun party dish. We've served this three times since we discovered it - once at home and twice for parties. It's been a huge hit every time and multiple people have asked for the recipe, so I am happy to finally share it. Don't be scared to try wheat berries or faro if you…

Broiled Asian Salmon with Scallions and Sesame

Broiled Asian Salmon with Scallions and Sesame by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious and flavorful dish. I'm always looking for new and innovative ways to cook salmon. This is a spicy take on the traditional teriyaki salmon, and the plating is beautiful. Given that it is a minor variation of a Bon Appetit recipe, it is also remarkably easy.

Asian Grilled Salmon

Asian Grilled Salmon by John Spottiswood

Our kids' favorite salmon recipes have long been a simple lemon pepper broiled salmon and a teriyaki salmon. So we tried the combination below which combines both ingredients. It's a surprisingly delicious combination of flavors. Our oldest son, who generally turns his nose up a salmon, claimed this is the best salmon he's ever…

Asian-Style Grilled Black Bass

Asian-Style Grilled Black Bass by John Spottiswood

This fish is simply delicious. The flesh is like butter and the flavor is from heaven. I know that sounds extreme, but it's true. I was in Costco and the fresh fish counter had whole black bass. I'd never made it before, but the woman behind the counter said it is similar to yellowtail (hamachi) which is one of my favorites, so I…

Asian Crusted Salmon

Asian Crusted Salmon by Nancy Miyasaki

I'm always looking for interesting new ways to cook salmon that my kids will love. This crusted, blackened salmon was a great addition to my recipe box. I kept it relatively mild, but it could easily be spiced up by adding some cayenne pepper. I thought the indian spices complimented the flavor of the salmon wonderfully. I served…

Simple Pan-fried Fish with Indian Spices

Simple Pan-fried Fish with Indian Spices by John Spottiswood

This is a simple dish I throw together with fresh white fish fillets (typically Swai, Tilapia, Catfish, or Orange Roughy). It's easy to make and our whole family loves it. I know it seems crazy to give this four and a half stars, but it's a really great combination of flavors. Try this with rice and a vegetable side dish or salad,…

Asian Seafood and Noodle Soup

Asian Seafood and Noodle Soup by John Spottiswood

We had this dish at a seaside restaurant in Campbell River, BC called Quay West. It was beautiful and delicious. The broth reminded me of the tasty soba dishes I had when I lived in Japan. So I made a version of this while in San Luis Obispo. The sauce is tremendous and I'm sure you'll really enjoy it. It will provide some nice…

Ginger Sesame Salmon

Ginger Sesame Salmon by John Spottiswood

This is an outstanding asian-flavored salmon. It's a bit more interesting than your typical teriyaki salmon. Think of it as teriyaki salmon with a kick! I'm a huge fan of grilled salmon and I don't think it gets much better than this.

Black Bean Salmon

Black Bean Salmon by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a quick, easy to make, and really delicious salmon. If you ordered it at a fancy asian restaurant, you would not be disappointed.. The black bean sauces is rich and more flavorful than most. It goes extremely well with salmon, but you could also try this with other types of fish like sea bass, halibut, or cod.

Fish with Spice Rub and Lemony Rice

Fish with Spice Rub and Lemony Rice by Nancy Miyasaki

This is an amazingly easy and delicious recipe. The spice rub would be yummy on just about anything I think. I really liked the way the fish cooks by steaming on top of the rice. First, it makes the dish even easier, it saves energy, and it won't heat up your house as much in the summer. More importantly, the fish just melts in…

Tangy Asian Grilled Salmon

Tangy Asian Grilled Salmon by John Spottiswood

This is another recipe adapted from the Barefoot Contessa. It's super simple and provides a tangy contrast to the sweetness of typical teriyaki sauce. Don't let the Dijon mustard in a supposedly Asian recipe throw you. It's a really nice combination of flavors. We doubled the garlic and reduced the olive oil slightly from the…

Miso Salmon (Dengaku)

Miso Salmon (Dengaku) by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a wonderful, mildly flavored dish. Japanese food is comfort food for me, and nothing goes down more smoothly than this dish. The sweet and salty miso glaze brings out the best in the salmon without overpowering it. Our kids love it too!

Steamed Fish with Black Bean Sauce

Steamed Fish with Black Bean Sauce by Nancy Miyasaki

This is one of the recipes I remember most fondly from my childhood. It's a Chinese dish, and I'm of Japanese heritage, so my mom used a large fish fillet as opposed to a whole fish. I know it's probably delicious both ways, but this is a bit easier on the eyes! Season the fish just before cooking...don't marinate...or the fish…
