CEDAR-PLANKED SALMON WITH LEMON-PEPPER RUB AND HORSERADISH-CHIVE SAUCE



CEDAR-PLANKED SALMON WITH LEMON-PEPPER RUB AND HORSERADISH-CHIVE SAUCE image

Categories     Fish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

For the salmon
1 Tbs. grated lemon zest, minced
1 1/2tsp. chopped fresh thyme
1/2 tsp. granulated sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 2-lb. boneless, skin-on salmon fillets (preferably wild and no longer than 15 inches), pin bones removed
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
For the horseradish-chive sauce
1/2 cup crème fraîche
3 Tbs. minced fresh chives
1 1/2 Tbs. prepared horseradish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Soak the cedar planks in water to cover for at least 1 hour. Drain the planks. Prepare the sauce In a small bowl, stir the crème fraîche, chives, and horseradish. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate. Prepare the salmon In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, thyme, sugar, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1 Tbs. pepper. Rub the mixture together with your fingers until the zest is distributed throughout. Rub the salmon fillets on both sides with the olive oil and then set each fillet skin side down on a plank. Sprinkle the fillets with the lemon-pepper mixture, dividing it evenly. Gently rub the seasoning into the fillets. Let stand at room temperature while the grill heats. Cook the salmon Prepare a gas or charcoal grill fire for indirect cooking with high heat: On a gas grill, heat all burners on high; then turn off all but one burner just before cooking the salmon; on a charcoal grill, bank the coals to two opposite sides of the grill. Arrange the planks over the cooler part of the grill, positioning them so that the thickest part of the fish is closest to the heat source. Cover the grill and cook until the thickest part of each fillet registers about 135°F on an instant-read thermometer, 20 to 35 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets. The planks may smoke a bit (this is fine) and will become very aromatic. Let the fillets rest on the planks for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Cut the salmon fillets crosswise into serving portions and transfer to individual plates. Serve with the sauce.

SALMON WITH CORIANDER RUB



SALMON WITH CORIANDER RUB image

Categories     Fish

Yield 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup coriander seeds
4 teaspoons cumin seeds
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus additional for brushing
4 large garlic cloves, pressed
2 3/4 teaspoons finely grated lime peel, divided
6 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets (each about 1 inch thick)
9 tablespoons sour cream
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Toast coriander and cumin seeds in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat until slightly darker in color and very fragrant, stirring often, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer seeds to medium bowl; cool. Using spice mill or mortar with pestle, grind seeds to medium consistency (not powder). Pour seeds into 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Add 6 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, and 2 teaspoons lime peel. Whisk to blend. Add salmon to oil-spice mixture in dish. Turn to coat. Cover and chill at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours, turning salmon occasionally. Position rack in top third of oven and preheat to 450°F. Brush heavy rimmed baking sheet with oil to coat. Working with 1 fillet at a time, brush off enough excess spices to leave thin coating. Arrange fillets on prepared sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast fillets until just opaque in center, about 7 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk sour cream, lime juice, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon lime peel in medium bowl to blend. Season lime cream to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange fillets on platter. Sprinkle each generously with chopped cilantro. Serve with lime cream.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon that is fresh or frozen. Avoid farmed salmon, as it is often lower in quality and may contain more contaminants.
  • Make sure the salmon is properly thawed. If the salmon is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes. Do not thaw salmon at room temperature, as this can promote the growth of bacteria.
  • Pat the salmon dry before cooking. This will help the rub adhere to the salmon and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Use a generous amount of rub. Do not be afraid to use a lot of rub, as this will help to flavor the salmon and create a crispy crust.
  • Let the salmon rest before serving. Once the salmon is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the fish and make it more tender.
