Salmon Shioyaki
Salmon Shioyaki might be a good recipe to expand your main course repertoire. This recipe serves 4. One portion of this dish contains about 37g of protein, 15g of fat, and a total of 445 calories. It is a good option if you're following a gluten free, dairy free, fodmap friendly, and pescatarian diet. If you have sockeye salmon, lemon wedges, nori, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the sea salt you could follow this main course with the Raspberry Sea Salt Brownies as a dessert. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes around 2 hours and 15 minutes.
Instructions
Set salmon on a cooling rack in a rimmed pan, sprinkle fillets all over with sea salt, and chill uncovered at least 2 hours and as long as 5 hours.
Heat grill to medium-high (about 450). Fold a 12- by 20-in. sheet of heavy-duty foil in half crosswise. With a knife tip, poke dime-size holes through foil about 2 in. apart. Oil one side of foil. Rub fish all over with oil.
Set foil with oiled side up on cooking grate. Set fillets slightly separated, skin side down, on foil. Grill, covered, until fish is barely cooked through, 7 to 12 minutes. With a wide spatula, slide fish from skin to a platter and tent with foil. Cook skin on foil until crisp, 2 to 3 more minutes.
Remove foil from grill, then gently peel off skin, using fingers or a wide spatula (skin may break into pieces).
Serve salmon immediately with crispy skin, rice, nori, lemon, and furikake.

Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Salmon. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. The Foley Estate Winery Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 27 dollars per bottle.
