ONLY USE FRESH BEAN SPROUTS.
Using canned - well - It'll ruin it.

FISH SALMON VMAN’S SZECHUAN SALMON

This is SOOOO GOOOD !
I make this at home all the time. Even my kids love it.
I have made it at Tailgates and it disappears immediately.

NOTE: When making for tailgates you can premix the Rice Wine Vinegar, Chili Oil and Soy Sauce but bring to room temp before tossing w Sprouts and Chives for the Fish Topping.
ALSO NOTE: Chili Oil needs refrigeration after opening or making.

Ingredients:
Fresh Salmon Fillets - Size of your preference
Pistachio Nuts - Shelled or you shell, then Mortar or (Food process into little chunks)
Sriracha Sauce ( it has the "rooster" on the label)
Chili Oil - purchased or homemade (recipe on foodnetwork.com)
Rice Wine Vinegar
Soy Sauce
FRESH Bean Sprouts - From the Vegetable section
Fresh Chives. - (cut into 1/4 - 1/2" Pieces)

Process:
Remove Skin from Salmon Fillet
Remove “dark meat” from Salmon fillet - (midline on back)
Rub fish with Sriracha Sauce Coating BOTH Sides (wear plastic gloves)
Roll Fish in Ground Pistachio nuts To cover both sides well(use a Mortar and Pestle or Food Processor to grind nuts)

Pan Fry Crusted Fillet in a TBSP or Two of Olive Oil to desired doneness and place on serving plate.

WHILE FISH IS COOKING prepare the Fish Topping:
In a Small Bowl Mix: ( Per 1 Lb of Fish Fillet )
1 TBSP Chili Oil
1 TBSP Rice Wine Vinegar (White)
1 TBSP Soy Sauce
1 TBSP of Fresh Chives
1 Hand Full of Fresh Bean Sprouts ( NOT CANNED )

TOSS ABOVE THEN PLACE ON TOP OF Cooked FILLET on Plate.

I serve this with a bed of Wasabi Mashed Potatoes.

Final Note: Thinner Fillets will cook on Med Hi heat about 1-2 minutes per side. Steaks will run 2-3 min per side depending on thickness.

OH - and the WASABI MASHED POTATOES are EASY
Just make your favorite Mashed Potatoes.
I usually Make them from Raw Taters but have found Idahoan Brand of Instant Flakes to be quite tasty.

Once yer taters are made:
Add about a Tsp of Wasabi Powder for each serving.
Mix Well.
Add Salt and Pepper to taste
Add Garlic Powder to taste
Mix well again.
Top it off with a pat of butter.
Oh Yeaah.
