Nationally
renowned restaurateur Roger Berkowitz recently announced that his
acclaimed Legal Sea Foods chain now aims to double its use of Alaska
Wild Salmon while reducing use of the farmed product, and make Alaska
Wild Salmon its salmon of choice.
Legal
has announced that it will be disclosing the origin of all salmon
served in its 30 restaurants from Massachusetts to Florida, with
a "seal of authenticity" that will accompany every dish
of Alaska Wild Salmon served.
As
part of this initiative, Legal's award-winning Executive Chef, Richard
Vellante, is developing some creative new recipes for Alaska Wild
Salmon. They include this delicious Asian-style dish, which Legal
and Chef Vellante graciously offered for our customers' use and
enjoyment.
Wild
Alaskan Salmon with Asian Glaze
Serves
4
½
cup brown sugar
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 Tbs hoisin sauce
2 Tbs peeled and sliced ginger
Dried red pepper flakes
½ tsp chopped garlic
1 Tbs fresh lime juice
1-1/2 to 2 lbs Alaska Wild Salmon fillets
Place
the sugar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger, dash of red pepper flakes,
garlic and lime juice in a medium non-reactive saucepan. Bring the
mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for 15 to
20 minutes or until the sauce forms a glaze. Set aside.
Preheat
the broiler.
Place
the salmon fillets on a broiler pan and baste with the sauce. Let
sit for 15 minutes. Broil them until cooked through, about 8 minutes,
basting again with the sauce. Remove the salmon from the heat and
baste once more with the glaze before serving.

note:
We
consider organic whole foods from both plant and animal kingdoms
to be a major key to superior health. We also think it's terribly
important to eat fish at least twice a week to get the essential
fatty acids. Here at our house, we only eat wild Alaskan salmon
and other wild seafoods from our friends at Vital Choice.
