Best Japanese Wasabi Soy Salmon Recipes

JAPANESE SALMON WITH MIRIN AND SOY SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except the oil in a ziplock bag, remove as much air as possible and marinade overnight (or minimum 3 hours).
• Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a non stick pan over medium heat.
• Add salmon skin side down, cook for 2 to 3 minutes until crispy. Check the skin to ensure it isn't cooking too quickly - if it is, then turn down the heat and/or remove the pan from the stove briefly to allow the temperature to decrease.
• Drizzle over remaining marinade in the ziplock bag over the flesh side. Flip and cook the flesh side for 2 minutes, or to your liking. I like salmon medium rare so the inside is very moist and just cooked.
• Rest for a couple of minutes, remembering that the salmon will continue to cook while resting, then serve.

SALMON WITH SOY-HONEY AND WASABI SAUCES

Steps:

• Marinate salmon:,
• Stir together mirin, soy sauce, vinegar, and ginger in a shallow dish. Add fish, skin sides up, and marinate, covered, at room temperature 10 minutes.
• Preheat broiler.
• Make sauces:
• Boil soy sauce, honey, and lime juice in a small saucepan, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 4 minutes.
• Stir together wasabi powder and water in a small bowl.
• Broil fish, skin sides down, on oiled rack of a broiler pan 5 to 7 inches from heat until fish is just cooked through, about 6 minutes.
• Serve salmon drizzled with sauces.

SALMON WITH WASABI SAUCE AND BABY BOK CHOY

Steps:

• In a blender, combine mayonnaise, cilantro, lime juice, wasabi, ginger, and 1 tablespoon water. Blend until smooth, adding up to 2 tablespoons more water to thin sauce, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Season salmon with salt and pepper; place in skillet, flat side up. Cook until opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• Wipe out skillet with a paper towel. Add mirin and soy sauce, and bring to a boil over medium-high. Add bok choy; season with salt and pepper. Cover, and cook until tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 3 to 5 minutes; discard liquid. Drizzle salmon with wasabi sauce, and serve with bok choy.

FURIKAKE SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F. Pat the salmon dry with paper towel. Place the salmon skin side down on greased baking sheet (I use foil for easy clean up).
• Mix the mayonnaise and wasabi together in a small dish. Use a knife to apply the mayonnaise to the top of each salmon fillet. Make sure to cover the entire top of the salmon with a thin layer of the mayonnaise-wasabi mix.
• Sprinkle a layer of furikake over the mayonnaise-wasabi mix.
• Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Eat! We usually eat it with a bowl of rice, or make "sushi hand rolls" (cut the salmon into small pieces and make small rolls with nori, rice, and the salmon).

WASABI SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat broiler or grill.
• Combine soy sauce and 1/2 tsp wasabi paste; mix well. Spoon mixture over salmon with skin side down. Place salmon, skin side down, on grill over medium heat or rack of broiler pan.
• Grill or broil 4 to 5 inhces from heat source for about 8 minutes. Salmon should be flakey.
• Meanwhile, combine mayonnaise and remaining 1 tsp of wasabil paste & mix well. Taste and add more wasabi if desired. Transfer salmon to serving plates and top with mayonnaise mixture.
