Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon coriander seeds, finely ground
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, finely ground
3 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh sage leaves
1/2 cup verjus, apple cider, or 8 tablespoons white grape juice mixed with 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
4 (6-ounce) skinless salmon fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt

Steps:

Make the paste: Combine the oil and garlic in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Place over low heat and cook until the garlic just barely begins to brown around the edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the ground coriander and cumin, and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the chili powder and black pepper and cook, stirring, 2 minutes longer. Add the sage and verjus, bring to a simmer, and cook until reduced and thickened to a paste, 1 to 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl, and cool completely before using.
Use your fingers to coat the salmon all over with the cooled chili paste. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Wipe the paste from the salmon.
Heat the oil over medium heat in a skillet large enough to hold all the salmon fillets. Sprinkle the salmon fillets with salt, place them in the pan, and cook gently until well browned and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the salmon to warm plates and serve immediately.

Salmon With Citrus-Chile Sauce image

Provided by Chris Morocco

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 jalapeños, seeds removed (leave some seeds in if you like more heat)
2 garlic cloves
Kosher salt
Zest of ½ grapefruit
2 tsp. honey
6 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 bunches broccolini, cut into 2" pieces
4 (5-6-oz.) skin-on, boneless salmon fillets
2 Belgian endive, leaves separated, cut into large pieces
¼ cup fresh grapefruit juice
3 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
Toasted sesame seeds (for serving)

Steps:

Pulse jalapeños, garlic, and a pinch of salt in a food processor to a coarse paste (you can also smash with a mortar and pestle or finely chop jalapeños and garlic on a cutting board, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and crush with the side of a chef's knife).
Transfer paste to a small bowl and add grapefruit zest, honey, and 2 Tbsp. oil; toss to combine. Set sauce aside.
Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add broccolini and cook, tossing occasionally, until crisp-tender and charred in spots, about 5 minutes. Divide among plates.
Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in same skillet over medium. Season salmon with salt and cook, skin side down, until skin is browned and crisp, 6-8 minutes. Turn and cook on flesh side just until cooked through, about 1 minute.
Add endive to broccolini on plates; season with salt. Set salmon on top. Stir grapefruit juice and vinegar into reserved sauce and spoon over salmon and vegetables. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
