Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon with Opal Basil/Kalamata Olive Puree, Beans!, and Salmon Chicharron

August 25, 2010 by ericriveracooks

Sockeye salmon skin is taken off the fish then deep fried and topped with salt and pepper when it comes out.  Salmon is sauted skin side down (skin was removed at this point, just giving you detailes) then placed in the oven to finish.  The opal basil and kalamata olive puree has a little bit of white wine vinegar, olive oil, and herbs.  The beans are three different colors…..yellow, green, and purple (purple lost its color but I intend to […]

Kasu Marinated Sockeye Salmon, Ginger Potato Chips, and Baby Bok Choy Bottoms with a Soy Sauce Chili Reduction Sauce

April 6, 2010 by ericriveracooks

I cooked something, made changes, and then made it my own.  I loved the Kasu marinated sockeye salmon that was inspired by Steelhead Diner but I wanted to make one simple concept from it, the Kasu,  my focus.  It’s a fun mix of ingredients to work with  so I let the sockeye marinade for a few days. Going back I would keep the marinade from 8-12 hours, but  I still got my point across. The bok choy was steamed in […]

Kasu Marinated Sockeye Salmon

March 31, 2010 by ericriveracooks

Tracked down some kasu paste and proceeded to marinate some sockeye.  I got this idea from the Coco book and after trying the dish with black cod st the Steelhead Diner I did a little more fact finding and found out that any type of fatty fish would work. The piece of fish you see above was marinated for 6 hours but I have 3 more pieces that will go to 24-36 hours in the marinade.  I just want to […]

Blackened Sockeye Salmon with Dill Buerre Blanc and Steamed Vegetables

January 1, 2010 by ericriveracooks

This is a major work in progress. Once again, the flavor is all there….. I just have to work on the look of it all.  The technique I used to steam the vegetables was awesome!  Also, I took the top off of the salmon after it was blackened…….I have a reason for this but it didn’t work out the way I wanted to…..until next time!

If you don’t think so then bring your little piece of off-pink […]
