From one of my favorite cookbooks, Lee Bailey's New Orleans, this salmon is to die for! Ingredients:
1 ounce wasabi (powdered) |
1/2 cup water |
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs (toasted) |
1/4 cup mayonnaise |
1 tablespoon honey |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons sesame seeds |
6 salmon fillets (4-6 oz each and approximately the same size) |
1 tablespoon butter (cold and cut into bits) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Mix wasabi with water to form a paste. Let it rest for 20 minutes. Place all ingredients except salmon, butter in a small bowl and combine with your hands to make a moist mixture.
3. Put several tablespoons of water in a baking sheet to prevent sticking (you want a film of water in the pan) and lay the fillets on it. Pat mixture on top of each fillet to about 1/4 inch thickness. Dot with the butter and bake for 6-7 minutes. Center of fish should be slightly undercooked.
4. Servie with Orange Anaheim Pepper Sauce (recipe on file here) or salsa flavored with oranges for a lighter version).
