Ingredients

1 (10-ounce) salmon fillet
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped scallions
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Medium to dry sake
1 whole ripe pineapple
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoons crushed red pepper, plus 1 tablespoon
Shrimp fried rice, recipe follows

Directions

To marinate the salmon, place the salmon in a deep bowl and add the ginger, garlic, scallions, salt, and pepper. Cover with sake and let stand for 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Split pineapple in 1/2 lengthwise. Cut out the woody central core from one half, then cut out and dice the sweet flesh. Set aside.

To prepare the pineapple reduction: Melt butter in small saute pan until bubbling. Add 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, pineapple dice, and 2 tablespoons of the sake marinade. Cook down until all liquid has evaporated. Turn on grill to medium, when hot, place the salmon on the grill and cook about 3 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper.

Shrimp Fried Rice:

2 tablespoons sesame oil

2 tablespoons chopped ginger

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

12 medium size shrimp

1 large egg, scrambled

1 tablespoon finely chopped scallions

1 cup cooked, cold, dry white rice

Lite soy sauce

Put sesame oil in a hot wok or non-stick pan, add ginger, garlic, and shrimp. Be sure to keep moving the ingredients until the shrimp turn color, then add the egg, scallions, rice and soy sauce, to taste. Keep stirring everything until the oil is all absorbed. When finished put the rice in the pineapple and top it with the salmon and a small side of the pineapple reduction.

Delicious!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I took into account what other reviewers said and decreased the red pepper flakes, but even still my hubby said, "Woh! ... What'dya put in the pineapple?!" He LOVED it, though. I couldn't help but add in a bunch of veggies because I can't ever get enough of them. I added peas, okra, savoy cabbage, white onions, red onions and broccoli. Our boys can't stand salmon, but they ate it without complaint. Definitely a keeper of a recipe!Read more

Great full Flavor recipe - just tweaked it a little
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I added ground ginger to the marinate. it added more flavor. Also I baked the fish at a high heat to color the salmonwith a... small amount of the marinade in the bottom. Reduce the pepper flakes unless you like your mouth on fire. Read more

Mediocre for a lot of work
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

First, there is absolutely no reason to marinate the salmon. It has no effect whatsoever on the final product. Second, the... fried rice is OK but not special. Sorry, just didn't work.Read more

Wonderful recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was more than pleased on my first bite. My 12 year old loved it too. I used Mirin in place of the Sake. I also cooked... the pineapple longer and used more butter and it was heaven. Next time I'm going to use the whole pineapple and make more rice, because it was too good not to have some leftovers. The taste of the pineapple really helped the salmon. I would give this 10 stars if I could. Yummmmmmm......Read more

Okay, rice was great
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The shrimp fried rice was excellent, but the marinade needed a bit more of a kick. Still decent, though!

I was looking for a fried rice recipe and found this one in a search. My husband loved it-said it was better than any... restaurant. It was easy and I had the items on hand. Would definately make again. Maybe I would try this whole dish.Read more
