SALMON WITH GINGER AND LEMON GRASS BROTH

Steps:

• In a large wide saucepan into which a steamer will fit, combine chicken stock and 6 cups water. Place over high heat to bring to a boil. When water boils, add lemon grass, scallion, ginger, lime juice and fish sauce, and reduce heat to low.
• Put salmon in a steamer over simmering broth. Cover and cook just until salmon has turned pale pink. Remove steamer from pan, and add mushrooms and bok choy to broth.
• Return broth to a simmer. Remove lemon grass and discard. Add salmon cubes to broth. Ladle soup into bowls and serve.

GRILLED SALMON WITH LEMON AND GINGER

Steps:

• In a small bowl or measuring cup whisk together lemon juice, soy sauce, oil, sugar and ginger. Set aside 1/3 of the mixture in a small bowl. Place salmon in a shallow dish and pour the rest of the marinade over the top. Let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes, turning once or twice. Grill or broil salmon over medium heat, turning once with a wide spatula and brushing with excess marinade until salmon is cooked to your liking (about 10 minutes depending on thickness.) Sprinkle with pepper and serve with reserved marinade for drizzling. Makes 4 to 6 servings. March 2008 California Grown
