BAKED FISH WITH SESAME AND GINGER

Steps:

• Season each fillet lightly with salt and pepper. Combine ginger and sesame oil in a small bowl, then rub the mixture on the fillets, massaging with fingers to coat evenly.
• Place the fish in one layer in a baking dish, and tightly cover the dish with foil. Let the fish marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes, or refrigerate up to 3 hours and bring to room temperature before baking.
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the fish on the top rack for 10 minutes. Remove foil and check to make sure the fish is cooked through. Return to oven for 1 or 2 more minutes, if necessary.
• Transfer the fish to plates or a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions and garnish with a few slices pickled ginger. Serve with stir-fried spinach and steamed rice, if desired.

SALMON BURGERS WITH GINGER AND QUICK-PICKLED CUCUMBERS

Steps:

• Process one third of salmon (about 8 oz.) in a food processor, scraping down sides as needed, until very smooth and paste-like. Add remaining salmon and pulse until pieces are no bigger than ¼," 4-5 times (be careful not to make it too smooth). Transfer to a large bowl.
• Remove dark green tops from scallions and finely chop. Thinly slice white and pale green parts and set aside. Add chopped scallion greens, ginger, garlic, 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise, and 1 tsp. salt to salmon and gently mix to combine. Form mixture into 4 patties about ¾" thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Chill at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, mix sesame oil, 1 tsp. vinegar, remaining ⅔ cup mayonnaise, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl; set aside.
• Toss cucumbers with a pinch of salt in another small bowl. Massage with your hands for a few minutes to soften and expel liquid; discard liquid. Add chile, sugar, and 2 tsp. vinegar and toss to coat. Cover and chill pickles until ready to assemble burgers.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Remove salmon patties from refrigerator and sprinkle with flour just to coat the outside (you won't need all of it). The patties will be a little loose but you can always pat them back together with your hands before they hit the pan. Working in batches and adding more oil in between batches if needed, cook patties until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side (watch carefully; you don't want to overcook).
• Toss herbs, watercress, sesame seeds (if using), reserved white and pale green parts of scallions, remaining 1 tsp. vinegar, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Build burgers with buns, patties, herb mixture, pickles, and reserved sauce.
