Provided by Sonja Overhiser

Categories     Main Dish

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
Olive oil, for brushing
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for brining
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 lemon slices (from 1 lemon)
Fresh oregano or thyme sprigs (optional)
3 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons jarred capers, drained
1 garlic clove, grated
To garnish: finely chopped Italian parsley, chives, or other herbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.*
  • While the oven preheats, in a shallow dish mix together 4 cups room temperature water and 3 tablespoons kosher salt. Place the salmon in the water and wait for 15 minutes.
  • Place a large sheet of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and brush it with olive oil. Pat each piece of salmon dry and place it on the foil. Sprinkle the salmon with 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt for each fillet and fresh ground pepper. Place the lemon slices and fresh herbs around the salmon (not on top). Close and seal the foil around the salmon.
  • Bake the salmon for 10 minutes in the foil. Then open the foil packet so steam can release and bake again for 3 to 6 minutes, depending on thickness, until just tender and pink at the center (the internal temperature should be between 125 to 130F in the center). A 1 inch thick fillet should cook in about 15 minutes total.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the capers and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  • When the salmon is done, squeeze with some lemon juice from remaining lemon slices. Spoon the butter sauce over each piece of salmon. Garnish with finely chopped parsley or chives.

4 skinless salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
Salt and ground black pepper
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 potato, peeled and cut into small cubes
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
4 ounces sliced smoked salmon, chopped
2 tablespoons capers
Salt and ground black pepper
2 thick slices pumpernickel bread, cut into cubes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 small shallot, diced
1/2 teaspoon salt
Good pinch of ground black pepper
1 small cucumber, peeled and cut into cubes
2 tomatoes, cut into cubes
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, minced
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1 tablespoon capers
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1/2 lemon
Salt and ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • For the salmon: Season the salmon filets with salt and pepper. In a bowl, mix together the panko, parsley, dill, garlic and 1 tablespoon of the oil until the panko is evenly coated. Coat the salmon with the panko mixture and let sit for a few minutes so the crust sticks.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook until the breadcrumbs are golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 5 minutes. Keep the salmon warm.
  • For the salmon hash: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until the potatoes are cooked through and the peppers are soft, 10 minutes more. Turn off the heat and stir in the salmon and capers. Season with salt and pepper. Keep the hash warm.
  • To make the salad: Toss the bread cubes with 1 tablespoon of the oil on a baking sheet. Spread the bread in a single layer and toast in the oven, stirring once or twice, until crunchy but not too hard, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, shallot, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, salt and pepper. Add the cucumber, tomatoes, onion and dill and stir to coat everything in the dressing. Stir in the toasted bread.
  • For the sauce: Heat the oil in a small skillet over low heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and whisk in the butter 1 piece at a time. Stir in the capers and dill. Squeeze in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
  • To plate: Divide the salmon hash among 4 plates and top each with a salmon filet. Spoon the sauce over the salmon. Divide the salad among the plates, placing it on the side of the salmon.

SALMON AND SPINACH WITH CAPER SAUCE



Salmon and Spinach With Caper Sauce image

Another great fish recipe based on one from the Low Fat Living Cookbook. The original recipe called for wrapping the salmon fillets in phyllo dough, for everyday meals I just use foil. (I always have a package of frozen mixed mushrooms from Trader Joe's on hand, so if I want to make this and don't have fresh mushrooms, the frozen ones work just as well). Sprinkling the spinach with some rice vinegar after baking makes this taste like the sautéed spinach and garlic served at P.F. Chang's.

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 tablespoons unbleached flour

  • Add the spinach and cook for 5 minutes, or until just softened, stirring often.
  • Season with the salt and pepper.
  • Drizzle the lemon juice over the salmon.
  • Spread 1/8 of the spinach mixture onto a sheet of foil that has been coated with non-stick spray (or use non-stick foil).
  • Place one piece of salmon on the spinach.
  • Top the salmon with another 1/8 of the spinach.

  • Twist the short ends to make a tight seal.
  • Place the packages on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Ensure Salmon is Cooked Properly: Salmon should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) to ensure it is safe to consume and retains its flaky texture.
  • Choose Fresh Salmon: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh salmon fillets or steaks. If using frozen salmon, thaw it thoroughly before cooking.
  • Season the Salmon Generously: Before cooking, season the salmon with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices to enhance its flavor.
  • Cook the Salmon Skin-Side Down: Place the salmon fillets or steaks skin-side down in the pan or baking dish to prevent the skin from sticking and to help it crisp up.
  • Use a Non-Stick Pan or Baking Dish: To prevent the salmon from sticking, use a non-stick pan or baking dish. Alternatively, you can grease the pan with cooking spray or oil.
  • Monitor the Cooking Time: Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets or steaks. Keep an eye on the salmon to ensure it does not overcook and become dry.
  • Serve Immediately: Once the salmon is cooked, serve it immediately with the caper sauce and any desired sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
