Shoreline Salmon Sliders And Crispy Slaw Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil and a large pinch of salt in a large bowl. Thinly slice the cucumbers lengthwise about 1/8-inch thick with a mandoline or vegetable peeler. Add the cucumbers to the bowl with the dressing; add the cilantro and peanuts and toss until evenly coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, if needed. Stir together the mayonnaise and chile-garlic sauce in a small bowl until smooth. Set both aside for serving.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillets with a large pinch of salt. Place the arrowroot or cornstarch in a medium shallow bowl or baking dish and whisk in the cayenne and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Dredge the salmon fillets until each side is well coated.
• Once the oil is shimmering and hot, carefully add the salmon. Cook until well browned and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Give the cucumber salad a toss, then transfer to a serving bowl. Place each salmon fillet on a plate, drizzle with the spicy mayo and serve with the cucumber salad.

Steps:

• To make the citrus slaw: To a large bowl, add the cabbage, 1 tablespoon of the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Toss, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to brine. Toss in the parsley right before adding the dressing.
• Into a jar, add the mayonnaise, Dijon, poppy seeds, lemon juice, lime juice, the remaining 1/2 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and lots of freshly cracked pepper. Close the jar and shake until well mixed. Pour the dressing onto the slaw and toss to combine.
• To make the tuna-cakes sliders: Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Throw in the celery, chile, garlic, cayenne, celery seeds, salt and freshly cracked pepper and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool.
• In a big bowl, add the tuna, breadcrumbs, parsley, cream, Dijon, green onions and egg, and mix. Add the cooled garlic-chile mixture and mix again.
• Lightly flour your hands and shape the tuna mixture into small patties. Dredge them in flour and then place in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.
• Heat the canola oil to 350 degrees F in a large frying pan. Fry until crispy and heated through, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain.
• Place a patty onto a slider bun and top with some of the slaw.

Steps:

• Bring the salmon to room temperature 10 minutes before cooking. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. Drain and toss with 1 teaspoon sesame oil and set aside.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the miso, lime juice, 3 tablespoons of the vegetable oil, honey, garlic and remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a large bowl.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet. Pat dry the salmon, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place in the skillet skin-side up; cook until the bottom is golden and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the salmon and cook on all sides until opaque throughout, about 2 minutes per side.
• When ready to serve, toss the spaghetti with the miso dressing, scallions, cucumber, chile and cilantro. Divide between plates and top with the crispy salmon.
