It's been a crazy week here, it usually is, but more crazy than usual. Mother in law here for three weeks. The dog ate two corn on the cobs whole and had to be hospitalized. He's fine. Prom, graduation, college. I could use a nice cocktail. Or two. But we have been eating very well. Ok, maybe some takeout too. I have been doing some cooking and grilling. Some. Salmon has been on the menu more often these days. Mother in law likes fish so when I saw this salmon glaze over at The Café Sucré Farine I knew we would give it a try. Glad I did, we loved it. I added some jalapeno, we like the heat with the sweet.
I can't wait to make it again! Great flavor. Loved it!

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, chopped
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon whole coriander seeds
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
juice of one lemon
one stalk lemongrass
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon sesame oil
4 salmon fillets (5 ounces each), skinned
coarse salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 whole jalapeno, seeded
Grind coriander seeds, garlic and ginger in a spice grinder or crush with a mortar and pestle until coarsely ground.
Make glaze: Stir together the spice mixture with honey, soy sauce, sesame oil and lemon juice in a small sauce pan until combined. Add the lemongrass stalk and the whole jalapeno. Salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and simmer until glaze has thickened to the consistency of syrup, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the stalk of lemongrass and the jalapeno. Pour a little in a cup to brush on the salmon and save the rest for serving.

What a delicious way to serve salmon! It looks terrific.
ReplyDeleteI love salmon, looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteWe love to eat salmon and I'm always on the lookout for new ways to prepare it. Will be trying this recipe very soon.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby would love this! Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed this Carol - it's one of our favorites too. And thanks for reminding me about it - sometimes I get so into new fun recipes that I forget about the old tried and true - this is one of those, for sure! Thanks for the link too!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol. Oh my. You have definitely had your hands, your plate and your head full of a lot of crazy. Poor pup even if he did do it to him or herself. Sorry! That can't have been cheap. Crazy dogs! Mine too is such a stinker sometimes you just have to wonder. The salmon looks incredible and I love all the flavors you used. I have been a little bored of my usual recipes for salmon and would love to try this. Congrats to the graduate and the mama because I know better than anyone good parenting is the primary reason these guys graduate and have a good life. Yay for you! :)
ReplyDeleteThis salmon looks beautiful my friend, wonderfully presented with gorgeous sides :D
ReplyDeleteCheers

We're big salmon fans here and this sounds like a great recipe! With hosting our gourmet group tomorrow night we've been doing take out all week :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, this looks so delicious. I never thought of lemongrass with salmon, but it sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteWe love grilled salmon, and this is a winner. I like that idea of hot and sweet. Yum. So glad the dog continues to improve.
ReplyDeleteYum, I love grilled salmon. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big fish person but that salmon looks delicious! What did you serve along side it? that looks yummy too!
ReplyDeleteI served it with a zucchini "pasta" with garlic and oil! The zucchini is julienne.
DeleteWell surely things will calm down in July, right? :) This recipe sounds so exotic--love that combination of honey, ginger, and coriander!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I hope so, I'm looking forward to calm!
DeleteThanks for all the good wishes and comments!
ReplyDeletethat has all the most wonderful flavours, specially the fresh ginger and the lemon grass.
ReplyDeleteYour life seems like mine. My daughter has just had her formal (prom), was invited to another and insisted on wearing a different dress so let's just double the expense, then my dog fractured her pelvis jumping off my son's bed etc. And your dog ate two corn cobs? Is he a vegetarian? I'm glad he pulled through.
ReplyDeleteAnd the before and after party dresses! Less expense when my son went through it! I'm so sorry about your pup, too! LOL, mine is not vegetarian, he eats everything. Including the mail one time.
DeleteThis looks amazing - just reading the post makes me want to eat it....and it's 10.30 in the morning!
ReplyDeleteGiven the hectic week, I don't think anyone would blame you for indulging in a cocktail or two!
The dog ate two ears of corn whole?!! Wow. Glad he's OK!
ReplyDeleteYour salmon has wonderful Asian flavors, Carol, and I love how you've presented it.
Hope things calm down at your house soon!
I made something very similar last weekend - salmon grilled with honey-soy marinade. I must try this since I LOVE coriander! I hope you're enjoying your Sunday, Carol!
ReplyDeleteI saw this recipe on Chris's blog and knew it would be delicious. I prepare salmon often and am always looking for new ways to serve it. I bet the sauce is yummy over a little steam rice.
ReplyDeleteI love grilled salmon! Sounds like a busy week, and this was a perfect dish to serve all those hungry people.
ReplyDeleteI'm not generally a huge fish fan but this dish has my mouth watering. Delicious!!
ReplyDeleteAnother winning dish from Carol; thanks for taking the time to share it.
ReplyDeleteWow, two whole corn on the cobs, I am glad you doggie was ok after the hospital visit. I love salmon and most any kind if fish. This recipe sound delicious, especially with the heat and the sweet. YUMMY! Have a great week ahead.
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious! The side dish looks great, too!
ReplyDeleteI like salmon and this combo of spice seems purr-fect. Will have a go.
ReplyDeleteThat glaze is totally my kind of thing! Love the sound of this dish!
ReplyDeleteSalmon is my favorite fish and this glaze has spoken to me!
ReplyDeleteIt must have been delicious. And it looks as if it was in pannier! :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks so absolutely delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh,I understand all about the weeks when things simply don't work out as planned..As long as everything works out in the end,all is forgotten.. The salmon sounds very flavorful,I'd love to try it on charcoal..I hope that this week will be more peaceful and that you'll have a great independence day! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the nice comments! Happy 4th of July!
ReplyDeleteTrying this tonight! :)
ReplyDeleteWould love to know how you liked it!
DeleteGreat flavours!! Loving this already :)
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, have you ever eaten sea beans?
ReplyDeleteNo, never had them. I'll go look them up, I've never heard of them.
DeleteI just had some mixed into mashed potatoes
ReplyDeleteJust looked it up on Wikipedia. They sound interesting. With mashed potatoes sounds pretty good to me :)
DeleteAnd no need to add salt to the potatoes. We got them at our farmers market
Deleteyes, I read that on wiki not to add salt when you use the sea beans. No local Framers Markets around here :( But I'll keep my eyes open, you never know!
DeleteMade it last night and my whole family LOVED it!!! I even used your zucchini side dish idea and it paired so nicely with the rich salmon. This is definitely one I would serve company too. It really tasted as good as any fancy restaurant's salmon dish. Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Geni! I'm so glad you loved it! The zucchini is nice, we love it as strands.
DeleteSuch a delicious looking salmon! I gotta make this some time! It looks great and I like your combination of ginger and honey too!! Yummyyy
ReplyDeleteCarol your salmon looks gorgeously cooked, love the idea of that yummy glaze with a bit of a kick!
ReplyDeleteI know I commented earlier, but wanted to stop by and thank you for sharing on Foodie Friend's Friday! Please come back next week and share another great recipe!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious....I hardly ever make salmon. Wow, you are having a hectic time. Cocktails for sure are in order :).
ReplyDeleteYum! Great link for Food on Friday. Thanks. Have a super weekend
ReplyDeleteJust so you know Carol, this has become a family and guest favorite. I get requested for this recipe more times than I can count, and I ALWAYS send them the link here instead of the recipe! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Geni, I'm glad you liked it, it's a fave here too! Hope all is well :)
