Sweet Hot Coriander Salmon with Strawberry Tomato Salad

You can grill or pan fry this salmon and toss it in the oven to give you melt-in-your mouth deliciousness. You'll want to use a good pan, preferably cast-iron.

INGREDIENTS

SALMON

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 4 5 ounce pieces of wild salmon
• 1.5 teaspoons coriander
• 1.5 teaspoons brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons chilli powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
• pinch of sea salt

STRAWBERRY SALAD

• 1,5 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped in half
• 1/2 pound assorted small heirloom, cherry and grape tomatoes, halved
• 1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
• 1 teaspoon loosely packed lemon zest
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

SALMON

Preheat oven to 400F

Combine coriander, brown sugar, chilli powder, Sriracha sauce in a small bowl. Season with salt. Pat salmon dry and rub mixture into both sides of fish, including skin. Let sit for 15 minutes. In the meantime make the salad.

OVEN METHOD

1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in large non-stick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until nearly smoking.
2. Sear salmon fillets skin-side up 2 minutes.
3. Flip, then transfer skillet to oven and cook 7-10 minutes more or until salmon is just cooked through. (depending on thickness) Be careful not to overcook.

GRILLING METHOD

1. Place the salmon, skin-side-down, on the grill and cover. 
2. Cook, undisturbed, until the salmon just starts to release its fat (opaque mayonnaise-like stuff) and/or the flesh flakes easily, 10 to 15 minutes for most 1 inch thick fillets. Allow another 10 minutes for each extra inch of thickness.

Good salmon is expensive so if unsure, use a thermometer. It makes life so much easier!

SALAD

Combine all ingredients and serve in bowl or arrange on platter leaving room in centre for salmon. Make this first because the salmon is going to require your attention.
