ROASTED DILL SALMON



Roasted Dill Salmon image

This oven-roasted salmon is adapted from the cookbook "Bottom of the Pot: Persian Recipes and Stories" (Flatiron, 2018) by Naz Deravian. The dish comes from Ms. Deravian's stepmother, who likes to combine her native Japanese ingredients with Iranian ones like pomegranate molasses. Get a quick pot of rice started as the salmon marinates and you can have dinner prepped in less than 20 minutes. Serve with sheveed polo (Iranian dill rice) and make sure to drizzle plenty of the pan juices over the salmon and rice.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds skin-on, center-cut salmon fillet
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup fresh lime juice or Seville orange juice, plus additional wedges, for serving
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon dried dill or 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 large garlic clove, crushed
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/8 teaspoon ground saffron (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees with the rack in the center position. Choose a baking sheet or baking dish that fits the salmon snugly (so the juices don't disperse and burn) and line it with parchment paper. Place the salmon skin-side down on the baking sheet and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Combine the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl and spoon over the salmon. If you have time, flip the salmon and let marinate directly on the baking sheet, flesh-side down, for 15 minutes.
  • Roast the salmon skin-side down until cooked through to your liking, 9 to 12 minutes. Serve with extra lime or orange wedges, and drizzle the pan juices over the salmon and rice.

SALMON WITH LEMON AND DILL



Salmon with Lemon and Dill image

This is a wonderful (and easy) recipe I got from my Aunt. The flavors of lemon and dill really complement the fish. I like to use wild Alaskan salmon for this recipe, but any salmon will work. I usually don't measure, so these are all estimates. Play with the ingredients to suit your own tastes!

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling last minute.
  • Choose Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • Don't Overcook the Salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center, about 4-5 minutes per side. To check for doneness, gently press the salmon with your finger. It should feel firm but still slightly springy.
  • Use a Good Quality Saffron: Saffron is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for saffron that is a deep red color and has a strong aroma.
  • Season the Rice Generously: The rice is an important part of this dish, so make sure to season it generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as cumin or coriander, to taste.

Conclusion:

This lemon saffron salmon with dill rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the rice is flavorful and fluffy.
