Grilled “Smoked” Salmon With Everything Bagel Quinoa Crunch Serves: 4 Active time: 15 minutes Total time: 2 hours 25 minutes 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup kosher salt 4 6-ounce skin-on salmon fillets 1 tablespoon golden quinoa 1 teaspoon roasted sesame seeds 1 teaspoon poppy seeds 1 teaspoon dried minced onion or shallot 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt 2 ripe large tomatoes, sliced 1/2 red onion, very thinly sliced 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and drained 4 tablespoons crème fraîche 1. Mix sugar and kosher salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle a thin, even layer of the mixture in a baking dish that will hold the salmon snugly in a single layer. Place salmon on top of salt and sugar and cover it with the remaining mixture. Cover dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate to cure for at least 2 hours and up to overnight. (The longer the fish cures, the more it will resemble smoked salmon.) 2. Place quinoa in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, shaking pan often, until seeds smell nutty and pop, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool completely. Stir in sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion, and sea salt. 3. Preheat a grill to medium high. Remove salmon from the cure, gently rinse fillets with water, and pat dry. Place on grill skin side down, cover grill, and cook until a metal cake tester or a knife inserted into the thickest part of salmon feels warm, 5 to 7 minutes. Slide a metal spatula between each fillet and its skin to lift salmon off grill (the flesh should slide right off the skin) and transfer to a serving platter. Scrape skin off grill and discard. 4. Arrange tomatoes, onion, and capers around salmon, sprinkle with the quinoa crunch, and serve with crème fraîche immediately.
