Best Indonesian Salmon Recipes

INDONESIAN SALMON

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, lemon juice, mustard powder and the spice powder.
• Place the salmon in a shallow dish, brushing both sides of the fish with the soy mixture. Cover the dish with plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Spray a medium skillet with cooking spray and heat it over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds. Sauté until the seeds are golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the sesame seeds to a plate.
• Spray the skillet again.
• Sauté the carrots and leek until they are crisp, but tender, about 5 minutes. Add the water or broth, remaining soy sauce and sesame oil. Simmer until most of the liquid evaporates, about 10-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the salmon on a broiler pan. Broil, 4 inches from the heat, until the fish is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
• Spoon the leek mixture evenly onto 4 serving plates and arrange the salmon filets on top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Serve immediately.

ASIAN GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Light charcoal briquettes in a grill and brush the grilling rack with oil to keep the salmon from sticking.
• While the grill is heating, lay the salmon skin side down on a cutting board and cut it crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Whisk together the mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic in a small bowl. Drizzle half of the marinade onto the salmon and allow it to sit for 10 minutes.
• Place the salmon skin side down on the hot grill; discard the marinade the fish was sitting in. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Turn carefully with a wide spatula and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes. The salmon will be slightly raw in the center, but don't worry; it will keep cooking as it sits.
• Transfer the fish to a flat plate, skin side down, and spoon the reserved marinade on top. Allow the fish to rest for 10 minutes. Remove the skin and serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

JAVANESE ROASTED SALMON AND WILTED SPINACH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Melt 1/2 cup butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add crushed red pepper and garlic and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add sugar; whisk until mixture is melted and smooth and begins to bubble, about 4 minutes. Whisk in lime juice and soy sauce. Increase heat and boil until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 2 minutes. Add cornstarch mixture and boil until thick, about 3 minutes. Set sauce aside.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large skillet over high heat. Working in batches, cook salmon until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to baking sheet. Spoon 1 tablespoon sauce over each fillet. Roast until fish is opaque in center, about 5 minutes.
• Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in large pot over medium-high heat. Add spinach and toss until wilted but still bright green, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Using tongs, divide spinach among 8 plates. Top each with salmon fillet; drizzle with remaining sauce and serve.
