Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon, cut into 4 fillets
-
Colonial Chile Oil, for binder
-
Cattleman’s Grill Provisioner’s Blend Seasoning
-
1 tbsp Colonial Chile Oil
- 1 shallot, thin sliced
- 1 tbsp red curry paste
-
1 tbsp garlic, grated on microplane
-
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated on microplane
- 1 (14 oz) can coconut milk
-
4 tsp Yellow Bird Blue Agave Sriracha
- 2 tsp fish sauce
-
1/2 cup Rancho Gordo Wild Rice
- 1 shallot, thin sliced
- 1 1/2 cups low sodium veggie broth/stock
- 1/4 tsp Jacobsen Salt Co. Black Garlic Sea Salt
- Zest of 1/2 lime
- Cilantro, for garnish
For the wild rice:
Directions
- Fire up the Kamado Joe Konnected Joe to 450ºF, set up for direct grilling.
- Start cooking the wild rice. Heat the Chile oil over medium-high heat. Cook the sliced shallot until browned at edges. Add wild rice, veggie stock, salt and zest. Cook covered with a lid until tender, about one hour.
- Preheat a Lodge 12” Cast Iron Skillet inside the grill for about 5 minutes.
- Turn the grill temperature setting down to 350ºF. Place the Chile oil in the hot skillet. Sear the salmon filets on both sides, just long enough to get a good crust on the surface. Remove the salmon from the skillet.
- Add your sliced shallot to the skillet. Cook until tender, about 5-8 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and curry paste. Cook for about one minute. Add coconut milk, sriracha and fish sauce. Whisk. Return the salmon to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the top of the salmon. Cook until the salmon reaches 135ºF internal temperature, about 12 minutes (depending on the thickness of the filets). Remove the skillet from the grill.
- Serve the salmon over the wild rice with an extra spoonful of sauce on top. Garnish with cilantro and a lime wedge.
