Broiled Scallops

Image
  Broiled Scallops Ingredients 1 pound large sea scallops 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter well softened 1 ½ teaspoons garlic salt 1 ½ teaspoons black pepper Optional Garnish grated parmesan cheese chopped parsley lemon juice Before You Begin You will want to purchase large sea scallops for this recipe. You may notice them labeled “wet” and “dry” at the grocery store. Wet scallops are soaked in a preservative to extend shelf life, but this causes the scallops to retain more moisture when cooked. We prefer to use dry sea scallops. Be sure to thaw them first then pat them dry after rinsing so the butter mixture doesn’t slide right off in the oven. Instructions Preheat your oven’s broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place oven rack in the second position. Rinse scallops and pat dry with paper towels. Be sure your butter is really soft but not melted. It should have a pudding like texture. Lightly brush a thin layer of the soft butter (you will not

Air Fryer Salmon Bites

Image
  Air Fryer Salmon Bites Ingredients 2 pounds center cut salmon 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted 1 Tablespoon brown sugar 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning 2 teaspoons paprika 1 Tablespoon garlic salt Before You Begin When shopping for center-cut salmon, try to find a fillet that is of even thickness. That way you end up with evenly sized cubes of salmon. We have left the skin on in our version of salmon bites simply because it helps prevent them from falling apart. You can remove it if desired or ask the grocer’s meat department to remove it for you. If removing the skin from the salmon yourself, use a sharp chef’s knife held horizontally to carefully slice the skin away from the flesh. Instructions Cut salmon filets into 2-inch cubes and place into a large mixing bowl. To make the wet rub, combine all remaining ingredients in a small bowl until completely mixed. Pour mixture over the salmon cubes. Using gloved hands, toss to completely coat the salmon in t

Salmon Sliders

  Salmon Sliders Ingredients 1.25 pounds salmon skin removed 6 slider buns Marinade ¼ cup soy sauce 2 Tablespoons dried ginger 2 Tablespoons honey 2 Tablespoons hoisin sauce 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder Before You Begin Any kind of salmon will do, but we typically reach for center-cut so they are fairly equal in thickness between all “patties”. Topping ideas include creamy coleslaw or red cabbage,  tartar sauce ,  salmon sauce , lettuce, or thinly sliced tomato. If doubling up on the salmon (as shown in the photos), optionally add a cocktail pick to keep the slider nice and sturdy. Instructions Cut salmon into pieces that will fit onto the slider buns. You will end up with more than one piece of fish per slider. Place salmon pieces into a shallow dish or baking pan. TIP – Some of our salmon sliders have more than one salmon "patty". You can easily use more than 6 slider buns if you would prefer to have only one patty per bun
