Best 6 Kaffir Salmon With Grilled Limes Recipes

THE EASIEST SPICY LIME GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Use a microplane to zest the lime and toss the zest into a small mixing bowl.
• Juice the lime, adding the lime juice to the lime zest.
• Add olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to lime juice and whisk to combine.
• Lay salmon in a small baking dish (I like to use a glass container with an airtight lid) and pour the marinade over the fish. Turn the salmon to coat and make sure it's covered in marinade. If you have skin on the salmon, place the filet skin side up so that the marinade can soak in.
• Cover salmon with the airtight lid and store in the fridge for thirty minutes to an hour or until you're ready to eat.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat until it's piping hot (you could also use your outdoor grill). Use a heat-resistant pastry brush to brush olive oil over the grill grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
• Remove fish from marinade and place it on the hot grill pan. Let it cook - without touching it! - for 5-7 minutes (see recipe notes) until salmon has lightened in color. Use a thin spatula to pick up the fish and flip it over on the grill. (If you've oiled your grill, the salmon shouldn't stick too much once those nice grill marks have developed). Cook for another 5-7 minutes until fish is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
• Remove salmon from the grill and serve immediately with extra lime wedges (optional). You could also add an extra sprinkle of flaky salt or red pepper flakes to the fish if you like.

OYSTER-LEEK GRATINE WITH PONZU SABAYON KAFFIR LIME-SMOKED SALMON RILLETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Lay the oysters on a bed of sea or rock salt on a sheet/baking tray. In a saute pan, melt butter on high heat and saute leeks until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season. Deglaze with ponzu and reduce by 50 percent. Check again for seasoning. Remove from pan and let cool. Fill a small saucepan half way with water and bring to a boil. Place yolks in a small stainless bowl that will fit on top of the sauce pan (bain marie set up). Whisk the yolks and 1 teaspoon of ponzu over the hot water. Be careful not to overcook the yolks by removing the bowl periodically from the heat. Continue whisking until ribbons are formed in the yolks following the whisk. Season and check for flavor. Remove form heat and fold in the cooled leeks. Cool to room temperature. Top each oyster with the leek sabayon and place in oven and immediately switch the setting to broil. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes or until top is brown and bubbly.
• PLATING: Serve on a decorative plate lined with cold sea/rock salt.

• In small sauce pan, very lightly coat with oil and saute the shallots, kaffir and ginger until fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce by 30 percent then transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate until cold. (It is recommended to do this a day ahead of time for deeper infusion.) Strain the mixture. In a food processor, add the salmon and cream and puree until very smooth. Season with black pepper only and check for seasoning. (Smoked salmon is usually very salty.) Transfer to a small bowl and fold in the zest, juice and chives. Transfer into medium ramekins and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 to 3 hours.
• PLATING: Serve the ramekins on plates surrounded by the pita chips. Garnish with chives.

KAFFIR SALMON WITH GRILLED LIMES

Steps:

• Combine lime leaves, lime juice, ginger and sesame and chilli oils, and pour over salmon.
• Allow salmon to marinate for at least 10 minutes (longer would be better).
• Place salmon and limes, flesh side down, on preheated hot grill and cook for 1 minute on each side or until they are cooked to your liking.
• Serve salmon and grilled limes with salad greens tossed in a light lemon dressing.

GRILLED SALMON WITH HONEY & LIME

Steps:

• Preheat the grill (or broiler).
• Whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and lime zest in a small bowl.
• Place the salmon on a baking dish covered with foil. Brush the salmon with the honey lime sauce and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Cook for 3-4 minutes per side on a prepared grill. If your fish normally sticks, cook it on foil sprayed with cooking spray. To broil, place in the oven and broil for 6-8 minutes or until the salmon is cooked to your liking. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on thickness of the fish.

GRILLED SALMON WITH KAFFIR LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil with Thai seasoning in a medium mixing bowl and whisk to blend well. Add salmon and toss gently until completely coated. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 3 hours. Prepare charcoal grill. Grill salmon fillets 5 minutes on each side. Set aside and keep warm. Alternatively, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add salmon fillets and sear 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Or, preheat oven broiler, place salmon fillets, coated with leftover marinade, on a think pan and cook 5 to 6 minutes. For sauce, melt butter with olive oil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add coconut milk and like leaves and bring to boil, stirring constantly. Add cream, fish sauce, and white pepper and return to boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer 4 minutes. Strain sauce through fine sieve. Divide sauce among 4 serving plates, smoothing over entire bottom of plate. Place 1 salmon fillet on center of each plate. Sprinkle caviar over sauce, garnish with lime leaves, and serve.

LIME-MARINATED GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, mustard, ginger, garlic, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the salmon steaks, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil grate. Remove the salmon from marinade, and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
• Grill until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 10 minutes per side depending on thickness.
