Kirk Avondoglio's Spice-Rubbed Salmon
with Radicchio Slaw and Clementine Marmalade
Serves 4
Grapeseed or canola oil for cooking
In a spice grinder, combine coriander and black pepper and grind until
finely processed. Transfer to a small bowl and add paprika and cayenne and
mix well. Slice salmon into 1-inch thick pieces and coat both sides with the
spice rub. In a hot sauté pan coated lightly with oil over high heat, sear
salmon fillets, about 1-2 minutes a side, until cooked to medium-rare.
Remove fish to a plate and, just before serving, season with kosher salt.
Meanwhile, assemble the slaw: in a large bowl, combine cabbage, radicchio,
scallions, cilantro leaves and clementine supremes. Add lemon juice and
olive oil and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. To
serve, divide slaw among 4 dinner plates, top with 2 pieces of salmon, glaze
with Clementine Marmalade and garnish with cilantro.
