Roasted Ginger Salmon with Ginger Soy Butter Sauce
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse

Ingredients
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
Essence, recipe follows
1 cup fresh grated ginger
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
1/2 to 1 cup bread crumbs, enough to bind the crust
3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Ginger Soy Butter Sauce, recipe follows
6 fried whole arugula leaves

1 tablespoon brunoise red peppers
1 tablespoon brunoise yellow peppers
1 tablespoon chopped chives

Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Season the salmon with Essence.

In a small mixing bowl, combine the ginger, zests and cilantro together. Stir in
enough bread crumbs to bind the crust. Season with salt and pepper. In a saute
pan, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, sear the salmon for 1 to 2 minutes
on each side. Remove from the heat and cover the entire top side with the crust.
Place in the oven and roast for 6 to 8 minutes for medium rare. The crust should

be golden in color. Remove from the oven.

Spoon a small pool of the Ginger Soy Butter Sauce in the center of the plate.
Drizzle the rim with the sauce. Place the salmon in the center of the sauce.
Garnish with fried arugula, brunoise peppers, and chives.
