This recipe came from Keith Eldridge, who is the executive chef for Eli Zabar at Eli's Manhattan, The Vinegar Factory, and E.A.T., all in New York City. They shared the recipe with Ina Garten(Barefoot Contessa), she shared it in her cookbook"Bardfoot Contessa at Home", and now I'm sharing it with you! So good hot, and at room temp too. Ina says Keith uses focaccia crumbs, made in a food procssor, but Panko makes a good substitute. Enjoy! I have made a few changes to suit my taste.

This is a Barefoot Contessa recipe. The 1st time I saw her make it I thought "that sounds wonderful". I didn't have oyster sauce or panko,but I made it anyway and it came out delicious. I made it the second time with the panko,and I prefer it without,so now when I make it I omit the panko.

Categories     main-dish

Time 34m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 side fresh salmon, boned but skin on (about 3 pounds)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons good soy sauce
6 tablespoons good olive oil
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

Steps:

  • Light charcoal briquettes in a grill and brush the grilling rack with oil to keep the salmon from sticking.
  • While the grill is heating, lay the salmon skin side down on a cutting board and cut it crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Whisk together the mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic in a small bowl. Drizzle half of the marinade onto the salmon and allow it to sit for 10 minutes.
  • Place the salmon skin side down on the hot grill; discard the marinade the fish was sitting in. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Turn carefully with a wide spatula and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes. The salmon will be slightly raw in the center, but don't worry; it will keep cooking as it sits.
  • Transfer the fish to a flat plate, skin side down, and spoon the reserved marinade on top. Allow the fish to rest for 10 minutes. Remove the skin and serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon: Opt for wild-caught salmon whenever possible, as it's typically lower in contaminants and has a more robust flavor. If using farmed salmon, look for fish raised in sustainable conditions.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, and mint add a burst of flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can substitute dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it until it's just opaque in the center, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Make the sauce ahead of time: The sauce for this dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.

Conclusion:

Eli's Asian Salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a quick and healthy weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the sauce is flavorful and tangy. Serve it over rice or noodles, or with a side of roasted vegetables.
