Boneless Salmon Japonaise With Creamed Green Onions
Servings: 4
Directions
- In a mixing bowl combine soy sauce, sugar, lemon juice, wine, shallots, garlic, and ginger; mix well. Place salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over salmon. Seal bag and marinate in refrigerator for 2 hrs.
- Just before grilling salmon, make the Creamed Green Onions: In small saucepan heat butter. Add in green onions and cook over low heat 3 to 5 min or possibly till opaque. Season with salt and pepper. Add in cream and stir to heat through. Keep hot.
- Remove salmon from marinade; reserve marinade. Brush marinated fillets lightly with oil. Place fillets in center of cooking grate. Grill 6 to 10 min or possibly till fish is opaque and flesh flakes easily with a fork, turning once halfway through grilling time.
- Meanwhile, process marinade in blender or possibly food processor till smooth. Pour into a small saucepan and bring to a boil; simmer one minute. In small bowl combine water and cornstarch. Add in cornstarch mix to heated marinade; stir till slightly thickened.
- To serve, pour some marinade on each plate, top with some creamed green onions, top with salmon fillet, and sprinkle chives over each fillet.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Wine Recommendation: You can rely on a Gewurztraminer to balance the soy sauce and ginger with the salmon.
- Beer Recommendation: For this Japanese-style dish, the best "brew" is a Ginjo Genshu (premium) sake served cool.
- Comments: Do not just throw another plain salmon steak on the grill - try this recipe! The minimal effort delivers a big flavor reward.
