Wasabi Glazed Salmon

Wasabi Glazed Salmon


Yield: 4 servings

Prep: 10 min

Cook: 1 hr 10 min

Ready: 1 hr 20 min


Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

  • 2 ripe peaches pitted, peeled, and coarsely chopped

  • 3 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)

  • 4 jasmine tea bags

  • 1 cup forbidden rice

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons wasabi powder (see notes)

  • 1 tablespoon agave syrup

  • 1 1/3 pounds boned, skinned wild salmon fillet, cut into four equal pieces

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

  • Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (optional)

Instructions
  1. Pour sesame oil into a 10- to 12-inch ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. When hot, add peach and stir often just until heated through, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Scrape into a blender and add vinegar; whirl until very smooth, then whirl in enough white wine or water to give mixture a very thin, pourable consistency (about 1/4 cup). Pour sauce into a small pitcher.

  2. Wipe pan clean. In a 3- to 4-quart pan, combine 2 cups water and the tea bags; bring to a boil over high heat. Remove tea bags and add rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt; stir, cover, and bring down to a simmer. Simmer, covered, until rice is tender to bite, 45 to 55 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, in a small bow, mix 2 1/2 tablespoons water, wasabi powder, and agave until blended. Rinse and dry salmon. Pour olive oil into the 10- to 12-inch ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat. When hot, lay salmon pieces in pan, skinned side down; cook, turning once with a wide spatula, until lightly browned on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes total.

  4. Remove pan from heat and brush wasabi-agave mixture over tops of salmon pieces, using it all. Transfer pan with salmon to a 350° regular or convection oven. Bake just until fish is opaque but still moist-looking in center of thickest part (cut to test), 7 to 10 minutes. Heat peach sauce slowly in a sauce pan until very warm.

  5. Transfer a piece of salmon to each of four warmed plates; spoon rice equally alongside (or set salmon on rice). Drizzle peach puree around salmon and rice. Garnish with chopped cilantro. If desired, and add more salt to taste.

Jack is one of those Labs of a lifetime. Strong, big, determined, docile, agile, gentle, devoted and actually attached at the hip to me. I never go anywhere without him at my side. He’s probably the smartest dog I’ve ever had...
