Ingredients

  • Main

  • Quinoa Salad

I’m not saying I invented a new grill method; I’m just saying I have never seen anyone do this before, it makes perfect culinary sense, and it turns out fantastic every time… Just sayin’.

Instructions

  1. 01

    Stabilize your grill at 450˚F. Place a soapstone or cast-iron griddle on the grill surface and let it come to temperature.

  2. 02

    Slightly season the Salmon fillet and place down on the hot surface. Sear and cook for 1 ½ minutes then flip to sear the other side.

  3.  

    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoon Extra Virgin Oil
    • 8 ounces Kvaroy Arctic Salmon
  4. 03

    After you flip the fish, place the chopped bok choy, mushrooms, ginger and garlic on the hot surface in a pile. Cook for 1 minute then splash the vegetable mixture with sake, sambal and soy and toss the vegetables with your tongs then using a fish spatula, flip the salmon onto the pile of seasoned vegetables and close the dome for 4 minutes and allow the fish to gently steam to an internal temp of 130˚F as the vegetables cook. After 4 minutes, remove the fish from the vegetables and reserve. Fold in the cilantro into the grilled vegetables.
