Pot Stickers (Chinese Dumplings)

Fat little Chinese stuffed dumplings, filled with a savory beef and shrimp filling, are browned in a skillet, then steamed until hot and tender. This recipe makes a lot of filling, good for having plenty of pot stickers to freeze and have any time.

A spice rub of Szechuan peppercorns and garlic put a new spin on simple broiled salmon. Use wild Alaskan troll-caught salmon for best flavor. 

Asian Avocado Aioli with Salmon Fillets

Provided by: Chileanavocados.org
Asian flavors and avocado play well together in this open faced sandwich. Instead of arugula you can use mixed baby greens. And you can replace the fish fillet with a steak or burger. For a variation, try the aioli over cooked shrimp or crab.

Grilled shrimp marinated in tomato sauce, red wine vinegar, basil and cayenne pepper. 

Coconut Shrimp I

Submitted by: Linda Vergura 
These crispy shrimp are rolled in a coconut beer batter before frying. For dipping sauce, I use orange marmalade, mustard and horseradish mixed to taste. 

Firecracker Grilled Alaska Salmon

Submitted by: Christine L. 
Salmon usually does quite well unadorned, but this hot and sassy marinade makes this grilled salmon even more delicious. With lots of zippy ingredients like balsamic vinegar, crushed red peppers, ginger and soy sauce, you can 't go wrong.
