TY KU Sake Silver-Soy Marinated Salmon with Cucumber Salad
4 pieces (6 ounce) salmon, center cut, skin off
1 tb minced ginger
1 cup TY KU Sake Silver
1/4 cup naturally brewed soy sauce
1 tb honey
1 bunch scallions, top off, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 tb butter
1 english cucumber, 1/4 inch slices
juice and zest of 1 lemon
1 tb toasted sesame oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Canola oil for cooking
In a bowl, mix the ginger, TY KU Sake Silver, soy sauce and honey. Toss marinade with salmon and scallions and let marinate 1 hour in fridge. Drain marinade but save. In a large sauté pan on med heat, coat the pan with 2 tbs oil and sear the salmon, good side down until brown, about 3-4 minute. Flip salmon and add marinated scallions too and sear another 3-4 minutes. The scallions will caramelize well. Remove salmon and place on platter. With pan still on med heat, add the marinade and bring to a simmer. Whisk in butter and set aside. Meanwhile, in a bowl and mix lemon juice and zest and sesame oil and toss with cucumbers, season. Top the salmon with cucumber salad and surround with cooked scallions and drizzle some sauce on platter. Enjoy with chilled TY KU Sake Silver, of course.
