1 salmon steak (about 8 ounces)
1 teaspoon olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 tablespoons fresh mint, finely chopped

Categories     Mains     Starters

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 salmon fillets (, skinless (~180g/6oz each) (Note 1))
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
15g / 1 tbsp butter (, unsalted)
2 garlic cloves (, finely minced)
1/2 cup dry white wine ((or more chicken stock) (Note 2))
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock/broth (, low sodium)
1 cup cream (, heavy/thickened )
1/2 cup parmesan (, finely grated (grate your own, Note 3))
2 tsp tarragon leaves* (, finely chopped)
2 tsp chervil* (, finely chopped)
2 tsp parsley* (, finely chopped, plus more for garnish)

Steps:

  • Season: Pat salmon dry, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Pan-sear: Heat oil in a large non stick skillet over medium high heat. Add salmon, presentation side down, and cook for 3 minutes until golden brown.
  • Flip: Turn salmon and cook the other side for another 2 minutes, until the internal temperature registers 49°C / 120°F (for medium-rare, recommended) or until cooked to your taste (Note 5).
  • Butter baste: When it's almost cooked, add the butter. Melt, then spoon over the salmon a few times.
  • Rest: Remove salmon onto plate, and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
  • Sauté garlic: Add garlic and stir for 20 seconds or until light golden.
  • Reduce wine: Add white wine, turn up heat to high. Bring to simmer while stirring base of the pan to dissolve all the golden bits into the sauce. Cook 1 minute or until it most evaporates and the wine-y smell is gone.
  • Thicken cream & stock: Add cream and chicken stock, then simmer on medium heat for 2 - 3 minutes until reduced and slightly thickened.
  • Add parmesan & herbs: Stir through parmesan (this will thicken sauce more), then the herbs. Taste sauce and see if more salt and pepper is needed.
  • Serve: Serve salmon with Creamy Sauce, ensuring there's something on the plate to soak up all that amazing sauce! Mashed Potato rates highly. See above video for list of suggestions (including side salads).

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 47m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (2- to 2 1/2-pound) skinless salmon fillet
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup good olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup minced scallions, white and green parts (4 scallions)
1/2 cup minced fresh dill
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 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.

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 boneless salmon steaks, 4 to 6 ounces each, with skin attached
1 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1/2 cup thinly sliced onions
1/4 cup thinly sliced carrots
1/2 cup chopped celery
4 black peppercorns
2 sprigs fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried
1 bay leaf
1 clove garlic, peeled
pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 sprigs parsley
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon shallots, finely sliced
1 small clove garlic, peeled
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped chervil or parsley
1/3 cup olive or vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Place all the ingredients for the court bouillon, along with 2 quarts of water, in a large skillet or small fish poacher. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Let it cool to room temperature.
  • Submerge the fish in the cooled bouillon. If there is not enough liquid to cover the fish by at least one inch, add water to cover. Return to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and poach for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand in liquid about 5 minutes longer before serving. Do not overcook.
  • To make the vinaigrette sauce, place the mustard, salt, pepper, vinegar, shallots, garlic and chervil in a blender or a very fast food processor.
  • As mixture blends, pour the oil through the opening of the cover. Blend well. If sauce is too thick, add 2 tablespoons water and blend. Adjust the seasonings.

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.

Categories     Dinner     Salmon     Fish     Herb     Parsley     Dill     Green Onion/Scallion     Lemon     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Dairy Free

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon steaks: Look for salmon steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the salmon is cooked evenly and stays moist.
  • Season the salmon steaks well: Don't be afraid to season the salmon steaks generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Cook the salmon steaks over medium heat: This will help to prevent the salmon from overcooking and drying out.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're cooking multiple salmon steaks, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the salmon from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the salmon steaks until they are just cooked through: The salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the salmon, as this will make it dry and tough.
  • Serve the salmon steaks immediately: Salmon steaks are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are at their best flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Herbed salmon steaks are a delicious and healthy meal that can be prepared in just a few minutes. By following these tips, you can be sure that your salmon steaks will turn out perfectly every time. Enjoy!
