GRILLED TERIYAKI SALMON TACOS WITH PACIFIC PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare the grill for direct grilling at 450 to 500 degrees (medium to high heat). For a charcoal fire, the coals should be glowing red and partially ashed over. Combine the first 7 ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk together until thoroughly combined. Squeeze the lemon over the flesh-side of the salmon and lightly brush with olive oil. Pierce toothpicks through the sides of the onion slice to hold the rings together while grilling. Place the salmon on the grill, skin-side up over direct heat. Add the pineapple and onion slices also over direct heat. Cook roughly 4 minutes. The salmon should tell you when it is time to turn-the flesh will slightly lift away from the grill along the belly-edge of the fillet. At this time you can flip the salmon without it sticking. Turn over the salmon, the onion and the pineapple. Spoon a generous amount of teriyaki glaze over the top (flesh side) of the salmon and close the grill hood. Cook 4 minutes more. Spoon more glaze onto the salmon and close the hood again. Cook the salmon to medium temperature, about 4 minutes more. Remove the salmon from the grill, leaving the skin behind by slipping the spatula between the skin and the flesh. Remove the pineapple and onion slices from the grill. (NOTE: Crispy grilled salmon skin is a real treat for those who like it. To finish off the skins at this point, peel them from the grill using tongs and a spatula and turn them over so the scale-side is up. Grill 1 or 2 minutes more, then remove and cut into triangles to serve as a garnish.) Slice the pineapple rings into very small segments. Chop the red onion. Combine the pineapple, onion, daikon radish, serrano chile, fresno chile and bok choy to create the salsa. Flake off pieces of the salmon and place into a tortilla. Use a slotted spoon to add a spoonful of salsa. Add a little dab of leftover teriyaki glaze to complete each taco if desired.

PINEAPPLE ORANGE SALMON TERIYAKI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F degrees. Line a baking sheet with a large parchment paper or aluminum foil. Lay salmon on top and season with salt, pepper and sesame oil. Slide orange slices halfway underneath the salmon, as pictured.
• In a saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, honey, sesame oil, orange juice, garlic, ginger and cornstarch. Bring to a boil and allow to thicken and bubble. Add pineapple (and water as needed if sauce is too thick) then pour enough sauce to evenly cover salmon (reserving some for drizzling before serving). Fold parchment paper or foil sides up to prevent juices from leaking through (does not have to cover salmon).
• Bake in preheated oven for 12-16 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked depending on how large your fish is. Turn to broil and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes (folding down parchment paper or foil), or until caramelized and slightly charred.
• Cut into sections, discard skin and serve immediately with extra sauce drizzled on top and your favorite sides, garnished with green onions and cilantro.

SALMON TERIYAKI SKEWERS WITH PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the soy sauce, mirin or rice vinegar, and brown sugar, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the fresh ginger, minced green onions, chili pepper flakes, and vegetable oil. Place the cubes of salmon in the bowl, coat completely with the marinade. Cover and chill for 1 to 2 hours.
• Remove salmon from marinade. Place marinade in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil, simmer for 10 minutes, set aside.
• Thread salmon, pineapple, and onion pieces on skewers. If using a grill, prepare grill for high, direct heat. Oil the grill grates. Place skewers on grill. Cover. If using an oven broiler, place on a rack on a broiling pan, so that the salmon pieces are 6 inches from the element. Turn after 2 to 4 minutes. Baste with reserved marinade. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes more, basting frequently, until salmon is just barely cooked through.
• Serve immediately.
