GRILLED SALMON WITH MAPLE SYRUP AND SOY SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic, ginger, pepper, and salt in a shallow container with a tight-fitting lid. Place salmon, flesh-side down, in the container and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Once heated, turn down one side to low heat.
• Place salmon, skin-side down, over low heat on the preheated grill and close the lid. Allow to cook, basting once with reserved marinade, until easily flaked with a fork, about 20 minutes. Salmon will easily remove from the grill by sliding a spatula between salmon and the skin.

UNCLE BILL'S SALMON MARINATED IN MAPLE SYRUP AND SOY SAUCE

Steps:

• in a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, maple syrup, orange juice, lime juice, garlic and ginger; mix well.
• Place salmon filets in a casserole dish that is large enough for the filets, skin side down.
• Pour the marinating mixture over the salmon and coat well.
• Turn salmon fillets with the flesh side down, cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in refrigerator from 1 to 3 hours or overnight.
• To speed up the marinate time, prick holes in the salmon with a fork and marinate for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Heat butter and oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
• Place marinated filets flesh side down into the hot pan and sear for 2 minutes or until lightly browned on the flesh side.
• Using an oven proof casserole dish, transfer the salmon and place into the dish, skin side down.
• Pour the pan juices and the marinade over the salmon.
• Sprinkle salmon with dried dill weed.
• Bake in preheated 400 F oven (uncovered) for 5 to 7 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
• The salmon should be firm, but not dry; do not overcook.
• Serve with Apple Chutney spooned over the top if desired or use any favorite sauce of your choice.
• For those who find sweetness overtakes the flavor of salmon, I suggest that you reduce the Maple Syrup to 1/4 cup.
• This recipe can be doubled without any problems.

SOMEN NOODLE SUSHI WITH WASABI OIL AND SOY SYRUP

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl combine first 6 ingredients. Check for seasoning. Using a sushi mat, place one sheet of nori, shiny side down. Lay down a thin layer of noodle mix on the bottom third of the nori. Arrange cucumber and peppers on the noodles and roll tightly. Moisten the top edge of the nori to "glue" the roll.
• Plating: Slice sushi with straight cuts and some on the bias. Drizzle soy syrup and wasabi oil on a large, white plate. Garnish with gari, sliced scallions and sesame seeds.
• Wasabi Oil: In a stainless steel bowl, whisk wasabi, mirin, and sugar. Add water until a loose puree is achieved. Whisk in oil. For extra spicy, use less oil.;
• Soy Syrup: Combine all and reduce at a simmer until a syrup consistency is achieved, about a 70 percent reduction. Let cool.

SOY SYRUP

Steps:

• Combine all and reduce at a simmer until a syrup consistency is achieved, about a 60 to 70 percent reduction. Let cool.

SOY-SYRUP ROASTED DUCK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F.
• Lightly coat the bottom of a heavy roasting pan with oil. Season the duck generously with salt and pepper and place in the pan, breast side up. Roast for 10 minutes, then carefully turn the duck back side up. Roast for another 10 minutes and then carefully turn on one side. To get the duck to sit upright on a leg, rest the back of the duck against the side of the pan. Roast for another 10 minutes, then carefully turn onto the other side and roast for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir together the maple syrup, vinegar, and soy sauce.
• Transfer the duck to a dish and drain the fat through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup. Reserve for another use. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F.
• Return the duck to the roasting pan breast side up. Pour the syrup mixture over, letting it run down the sides. Return to the oven. Roast, basting every 5 minutes, for 20 minutes. Tilt the duck to let its juices run out of the cavity; the juices should be pale pink. Cook for another 5 minutes if needed. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes, basting frequently.
• To carve, first remove the legs by slicing between the legs and body, then through the hip joint. Cut through the leg joint to separate the drumstick from the thigh. Cut the thigh in slices parallel to the thighbone. Pull the wings away from the body, then slice through the wing joints to remove. Run your knife down the breastbone, then along the rib cage to remove a breast. Repeat on the other side. Cut the breasts crosswise into slices.
• Arrange the sliced duck on a serving platter. Spoon the glaze from the pan all over.
• Before trussing the duck, cut 2 slits along the wishbone. That will make it easy to remove the bone after the duck has cooked. It's much easier to carve a duck without it.

SUNNY'S SWEET AND SOUR SOY SYRUP

Steps:

• In a small pot on medium-high heat, add the brown sugar and soy sauce. Stir to dissolve as much sugar as possible, then cook until the liquid level reduces and the sugar thickens the soy to a syrup. Let cool to room temperature, then stir in the lime juice.
• Drizzle over fresh fruit.
