China Moon Salmon Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients.
• Cut salmon into bite-size pieces and sprinkle with 1 tsp salt and let sit for 5 minutes. Remove any excess moisture from the fish by patting with paper towels. Lightly coat the fish with flour, shaking off excess flour.
• Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Over medium heat, fry both sides of the fish for 2-3 mins on each side until the salmon skin becomes crispy.
• Pour off excess oil from frying pan. Add the sauce and fold the sauce over until the fish is evenly coated.
• Serve, garnishing with cilantro.

• Rinse salmon, and pat dry. Season each side lightly with salt and pepper. Place in a small shallow pan. Spoon black bean mixture over salmon. Place in steamer pot over boiling water.
• Steam for 10 to 12 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Steps:

• To make Salmon:.
• Preheat the grill(or broiler). Leave the skin on the salmon, if desired.
• Place the barbecue sauce, vinegar, scallions, and ginger in a blender and mix.
• Start grilling the salmon to the desired doneness(3-6 minutes each side) and baste with barbecue sauce mixture as you are grilling(or broiling). If grilling with skin, grill skin side down until the skin is crispy, then turn over and continue basting with barbecue sauce mixture.
• To make the Vegetables:.
• Take out the hard bottom center of the greens. Slice greens thinly. Heat a saucepan over high heat, add oil and saute cabbage, radicchio, and mushrooms quickly(about 3-4 minutes). They should remain crisp. Before taking the veggies out of the pan, deglaze with the white wine or sake(by adding wine to bottom of pan, stirring and scraping bottom). Add salt and pepper.
