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.

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.

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.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 salmon fillets, skin removed (about 2 lbs. (900g) total)
4 cups halved brussels sprouts*
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary (or use 1 Tablespoon dried)
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or use 1 Tablespoon dried)
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
2 medium lemons, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
sea salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Arrange salmon and brussels sprouts evenly spaced on top.
  • Brush the melted butter on top of each salmon fillet. In a small bowl, stir the rosemary, parsley, garlic, juice of 1 lemon (around 4 Tablespoons), and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together. Spoon evenly onto each fillet, spreading all over the top. Slice 1/2 of the 2nd lemon and arrange 1-2 slices on top of each fillet. Squeeze the other lemon half on top of the brussels sprouts. Sprinkle the brussels sprouts with remaining 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Sprinkle sea salt evenly over the whole pan- not much is needed, but go by your preference.
  • Bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes depending on thickness, about 10 minutes per 1-inch inch thickness measured from the thickest part of the fillet or until the thickest part reaches 145°F (63°C) internal heat.

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.

SLOW-ROASTED CITRUS SALMON WITH HERB SALAD



Slow-Roasted Citrus Salmon With Herb Salad image

This is truly the best way to cook salmon. Slowly roasting an already fatty fish in an even more luxurious fat (here, olive oil) makes it nearly impossible to overcook. Plus, you can flavor that oil with whatever you fancy - spices, herbs, citrus, chiles - which, in turn, will flavor the fish. It's a very simple method for cooking any large piece of fish (cod or halibut work well here, too). This makes it the ideal dinner party trick, sitting perfectly in the center of a Venn diagram where "looks impressive" and "not a ton of work" overlap. It also doubles beautifully. Store any leftover salmon in the remaining oil, which will keep it from drying out, and use it to elevate a salad or a bagel with cream cheese.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (1 1/2-pound) piece skinless salmon fillet (or halibut or cod)

1 1/2 cups olive oil
2 cups herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, dill and tarragon, roughly picked from the stem

BAKED LEMON GARLIC SALMON RECIPE



Baked Lemon Garlic Salmon Recipe image

Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

Time 28m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lb salmon fillet
Kosher salt
Extra virgin olive oil (I used Early Harvest Greek extra virgin olive oil)
1/2 lemon, sliced into rounds
Parsley for garnish
Zest of 1 large lemon
Juice of 2 lemons
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (I used Early Harvest Greek extra virgin olive oil)
5 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tsp dry oregano
1 tsp sweet paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Make the lemon-garlic sauce. In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix together the lemon juice, lemon zest, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, oregano, paprika and black pepper. Give the sauce a good whisk.
  • Prepare a sheet pan lined with a large piece of foil (should be large enough to fold over salmon). Brush top of the foil with extra virgin olive oil.
  • Now, pat salmon dry and season well on both sides with kosher salt. Place it on the foiled sheetpan. Top with lemon garlic sauce (make sure to spread the sauce evenly.)
  • Fold foil over the salmon (seam-side up). Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until salmon is almost completely cooked through at the thickest part (cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your fish. If your salmon is thinner, check several minutes early to ensure your salmon does not overcook. If your piece is very thick, 1 1/2 or more inches, it may take a bit longer.)
  • Carefully remove from oven and open foil to uncover the top of the salmon. Place under the broiler briefly, about 3 minutes or so. Watch closely as it broils to make sure it doesn't overcook and the garlic does not burn.)
