ROASTED SALMON WITH GREEN HERBS



Roasted Salmon With Green Herbs image

This is a great last-minute dinner. I can pick up the salmon on the way home, and I've usually got some herbs in the garden, and the rest of the ingredients in the pantry. Roasting is so much less stressful than grilling and the salmon stays very moist.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (2-to 2 ½-pound) skinless salmon fillet
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup good olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ cup minced scallions, white and green parts (4 scallions)
½ cup minced fresh dill
½ cup minced fresh parsley
¼ cup dry white wine
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Place the salmon fillet in a glass, ceramic, or stainless-steel roasting dish and season it generously with salt and pepper. Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice and drizzle the mixture evenly over the salmon. Let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the scallions, dill, and parsley. Scatter the herb mixture over the salmon fillet, turning it so that both sides are generously coated with the green herbs. Pour the wine around the fish fillet.
  • Roast the salmon for 10 to 12 minutes, until almost cooked in the center at the thickest part. The center will be firm with just a line of uncooked salmon in the very center. (I peek by inserting the tip of a small knife.) Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Cut the salmon crosswise into serving pieces and serve hot with lemon wedges.

SIMPLE LEMON-HERB ROASTED SALMON



Simple Lemon-Herb Roasted Salmon image

This go-to recipe uses a fish's best friends: butter, herbs and lemon. Roasting at a high temperature lets you lightly brown the fillets on foil, without having to use a skillet, so there's minimal cleanup. Make this quick entree often, and use the time you save to try a new side dish to go with it.

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Olive oil, for the foil
Four 5- to 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill and/or parsley
Half a lemon

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the top of the oven, and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, and brush with oil.
  • Place the salmon fillets, evenly spaced, in the middle of the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bake until the outside is opaque and slightly firm to the touch and the inside flakes easily (insert a small paring knife between layers to check; the color will vary from bright pink (rare) to pale pink to orange (well-done)), 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the desired doneness.
  • Remove the fillets from the oven, top each with a piece of butter and let melt over the top and down the sides. Sprinkle with herbs, lemon juice and salt to taste. Transfer the salmon to serving plates with a spatula. Serve hot or at room temperature.

SLOW-ROASTED SALMON WITH HERB SAUCE



Slow-Roasted Salmon with Herb Sauce image

"This dish utilizes a really simple technique of roasting salmon at a very low temperature," says Jerry Traunfeld. "I pair it with a white wine and butter sauce and top it with rough chopped herbs. It's an especially great recipe if you have an herb garden, but you can easily prepare it with herbs from the supermarket."

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds Wild King salmon fillet, or Sockeye
2 tablespoons olive oil
Sea salt
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1 cup dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces, at room temp
1/2 cup Fresh herbs (chives, French tarragon, mint, lemon thyme, lovage, chervil, sorrel, bronze fennel), plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Prepare the salmon for roasting: Preheat oven to 225 degrees F. Remove the salmon skin by cutting a flap of skin from the tail end. Hold the skin with a kitchen towel for a good grip, then hold the knife at a 30-degree angle downward to the cutting board between the skin and the flesh. Move the towel back and forth so the knife cuts through the salmon without cutting off much of the flesh. Using tweezers or needle-nose pliers, pull out any small bones left in the salmon, then cut fillet into 4 even slices at an angle. Place salmon fillets into a shallow roasting pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt. Rub the fish with the oil to evenly coat, then place on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes, checking after 10 minutes. Note: If the fish is cold from the refrigerator, let it come to room temp, about 30 minutes, before baking.
  • Make the beurre blanc sauce and prepare the herbs: In a medium saucepan, add the shallot, white wine, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until liquid has reduced by half. While the liquid is reducing, chop the herbs. Any combination of herbs will work as long as they're chopped roughly (not finely), to preserve their character and flavor. Once the liquid has reduced, whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, to thicken the sauce.
  • Finish the sauce and assemble the dish: Salmon is cooked when it's flaking apart gently and no longer raw in the middle. Set aside. Finish the sauce by pouring it into a blender to break up the shallots and create a better emulsion with the butter. Pour back into the pan over low heat and add the herbs. Place a salmon fillet on a serving plate, ladle herb sauce on top. Garnish with the additional fresh herbs and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon that is fresh or frozen. Avoid farmed salmon, as it is often lower in nutrients and higher in contaminants.
  • Cook the salmon properly. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it gently. The best way to do this is to bake it in the oven or grill it over medium heat.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to the salmon. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they will not be as flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is best when it is cooked to medium-rare or medium. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the salmon with a flavorful sauce. A simple herb sauce is a great way to add flavor to the salmon. You can also serve the salmon with a lemon-butter sauce or a white wine sauce.

Conclusion:

Baked salmon with herb sauce is a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to make. It is a great option for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the herb sauce adds a lot of flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
