PAN-FRIED SALMON



Pan-Fried Salmon image

The key to crispy pan-fried salmon is to make sure your oil is hot enough. Drop a few grains of salt into the oil and if it sizzles your pan is ready! We paired the salmon with a vibrant citrus salsa verde that can be made up to a week in advance.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Juice of 1 lime, plus 1 teaspoon zest
Juice of 1/2 lemon, plus 1 teaspoon zest
6 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/4 cup cilantro leaves
1/4 cup roughly chopped chives
1 garlic clove
1/2 small shallot, roughly chopped (about 1 ounce)
1 tablespoon drained capers
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
Pinch red pepper flakes
Four 6-ounce skin-on salmon fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add the lime juice, lime zest, lemon juice, lemon zest, 3 tablespoons olive oil, parsley, cilantro, chives, garlic, shallot, capers, sugar and red pepper flakes into the jar of a blender. Pulse the ingredients until they are roughly chopped and begin to come together. Scrape down the sides with a spatula and continue to blend until smooth. Set aside until ready to use or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Season the salmon fillets all over with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper.
  • Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon, skin-side up, and cook untouched until the edges crisp and turn golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until firm when pressed, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and spoon the salsa verde on top. Serve immediately.

SLOW-ROASTED SALMON WITH CUCUMBER DILL SALAD



Slow-Roasted Salmon with Cucumber Dill Salad image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 English (seedless) cucumber (about 1 pound)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
2 teaspoons roughly chopped fresh dill, (about 2 fronds), plus more fronds for garnish
Pinch sugar
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
Pinch cayenne pepper
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pound center cut salmon, skinned
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the salad: Quarter the cucumber, lengthwise, and remove the seeds, but leave on the skin. Thinly slice the cucumbers and mix with the salt in a colander. Set in the sink for about 1 hour to drain. Meanwhile, place the yogurt in a coffee filter-lined strainer and set over a bowl to drain, about 1 hour.
  • Rinse the cucumbers with cold, running water. Press down on the cucumbers to extract as much liquid as possible and pat dry. Toss the cucumbers with the drained yogurt, dill, sugar, orange zest, cayenne, and season with pepper, to taste.
  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Cut the salmon lengthwise and then crosswise to make 4 equal squares of fish. Lightly sprinkle the salmon all over with a pinch of turmeric and rub in slightly to coat evenly. Season salmon with salt and pepper and place on a very lightly oiled oven-proof nonstick pan. Roast the salmon, turning the pieces carefully with a spatula after about 10 minutes, until just cooked through, about 20 minutes in all. (Slow-roasted salmon looks bright orange when done, and will be luscious in the center.) To serve, divide the cucumbers between 4 plates, top with the salmon and garnish with dill fronds.

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Four 4- to 5-ounce frozen skin-on salmon fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic
1/3 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Rinse the salmon under cool water and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the salmon skin-side up in the skillet, leaving room in between. Cook until the salmon is browned on the first side, about 4 minutes.
  • Flip the salmon with a spatula and season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook until the salmon is opaque throughout and flakes easily when you insert a paring knife between the layers, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer the salmon to a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to low. Add the garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Add the honey, soy sauce and vinegar and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Return the salmon to the skillet and turn to coat in the sauce. Serve the salmon drizzled with the sauce.

  • Serve the salmon with a light and refreshing salad. This will help to balance out the richness of the fish.
