Salmon and Slaw

 I got this recipe from Epicurious, it is a really great recipe. It is not like the recipe from Shadowbrook. The salmon from Shadowbrookis my favorite item to order off their menu. Besides their house salad and artichoke soup. But this recipe along with the slaw is really good. Even my picky husband who does not like seafood liked it.

Make sure you make a slaw with it. Slaw recipe is right under this one.

1 cup orange juice

1/2 cup sake

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper

2 teaspoons water

1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

Vegetable oil

6 7- to 8-ounce salmon fillets

1 tablespoon black sesame seeds or toasted sesame seeds

6 lemon wedges

1. Step 1

   Combine orange juice, sake, sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, and red pepper in heavy small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Boil until mixture is reduced to 1 1/3 cups, about 5 minutes. Combine 2 teaspoons water and cornstarch in small bowl, stirring until cornstarch dissolves. Add cornstarch mixture to ponzu sauce and boil until sauce thickens and is clear, stirring frequently, about 1 minute. (Ponzu sauce can be prepared up to 1 day ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate.)

   Step 2

   Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush grill with vegetable oil. Brush each salmon fillet with 1 tablespoon ponzu sauce. Grill salmon, skin side up, 3 minutes. Turn salmon fillets and brush each with another 1 tablespoon ponzu sauce. Grill until salmon is just cooked through, about 5 minutes.

   Step 3

   Transfer 1 salmon fillet to each of 6 plates. Top with slaw, dividing equally. Sprinkle with sesame seeds; garnish with lemon wedges and serve.
