Korean Salmon Recipes

Steps:

• Season the salmon on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and sear the salmon fillets skin side down until the skin is browned and crispy, 2 to 5 minutes. The salmon's orange flesh will begin to turn pale coral as the heat slowly creeps up the sides of the fish; you want that coral color to come up about two-thirds of the way at this point for a nice medium-rare. Carefully flip the salmon and cook the second side until the flesh feels firm, another 1 to 2 minutes. When you press it, it should not feel wobbly. Transfer the salmon to a plate skin side down and keep the pan with the rendered fat over the heat.
• Add the rice to the fat in the pan and spread in an even layer, packing it down as if making a rice pancake. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the bottom is lightly browned and toasted, about 5 minutes. You should hear it crackle. Flip the rice like a pancake, using a spatula if needed. You may not be able to flip it all in one piece, but that's OK. Cook until lightly toasted on the second side, another 1 to 2 minutes. Go longer if you want crispier rice, but the trifecta of crispy-chewy-soft tastes wonderful.
• While the rice is cooking, stir together the gochugaru, maple syrup, rice vinegar and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. When the rice is done, divide it evenly among the plates. In the now empty pan, add the gochugaru mixture and cook, stirring constantly, over medium-high heat until it bubbles up and reduces significantly, 15 seconds to 1 minute. It should look pretty sticky. Turn off the heat and add the cold butter, stirring with a wooden spoon or tongs until fully melted and incorporated into the gochugaru mixture. Pour this glaze over the salmon and serve with cucumbers or pickles if you'd like.

Steps:

• Add Tinfoil to baking dish, place Salmon in baking dish.
• Mix all other ingredients in a bowl.
• Pour ingredients over Salmon and fridge/marindate for 20 minutes.
• Pre-heat oven to 425.
• Cook Salmon, uncovered for 12-15 minutes, basting the fish with the sauce at least once.

Steps:

• Make several shallow slashes in the skinless side of the salmon fillets. Place fillets skin-side down in a glass baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, pepper, onion and sesame oil. Pour the liquid over the salmon, cover, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, water, and dill weed. Cover pan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cook 20 minutes, until rice is tender and water has been absorbed. Allow to stand for 5 minutes before removing lid and fluffing rice with a fork.
• Remove cover from salmon, and bake the fish and the marinade for about 30 minutes, or until fish can be flaked with a fork. Serve salmon over the rice, and pour sauce over.

Steps:

• Place the salmon fillet in the center of an aluminum foil piece. Season with salt and pepper and pour sake or wine on top (if using).
• Wrap the salmon with the foil and cook in the oven or oven toaster for 20 - 25 minutes at 400°F/200°C.
• In a small bowl, mix all the 6 ingredients for the sauce and set aside.
• In a larger bowl, mix flour, salt, egg, water and sesame oil.
• When the salmon is cooked, remove the skin and flake the salmon with a folk.
• Add scallions and salmon flakes to the pancake mixture and mix.
• Heat a large non-stick frying pan and spray oil.
• Pour the pancake mixture and cook both sides for about 5 minutes each until lightly browned. (To flip the pancake, you can place a large plate on top of the frying pan, invert the pan over the plate, and transfer the pancake to the frying pan to cook the other side.).
• Transfer the pancake to a large plate and slice it.
• Infuse love and serve with the sauce.
