GARLIC BUTTER SALMON RECIPE



Garlic Butter Salmon recipe image

Recipe video above. This is a simple-yet-luxurious, cheffy way to cook salmon. By basting continuously with foaming garlic butter, it seeps into every crack and crevice of the salmon and gives it the ultimate buttery crust.It may seem like a lot of butter for one recipe, but you need it to ensure good basting coverage. You do not have to use all of it for serving. Save leftover butter (even if just a smear!) and pan fry bread with it tomorrow, see post for photos. It's Amazing - with a capital A!

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 salmon fillets ((180g/6oz each), skinless and boneless)
1/2 tsp salt (, cooking / kosher)
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp garlic (~2 cloves) (, finely minced by hand (don't use a garlic press))
90g / 6 tbsp salted butter (, cut into cubes (or unsalted + 1/4 tsp salt))
1 tsp lemon juice (, plus more to taste)
2 tsp parsley (, finely chopped)

Steps:

  • Season salmon: Take salmon out of fridge 30 minutes prior to cooking. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Sear salmon 3 mins: Heat oil in large non stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon, presentation side (ie. curved side) down, and cook for 3 minutes until golden.
  • Turn, cook 1 min, then add butter: Turn salmon and cook the other side for 1 minute. THEN put the butter in.
  • Baste 1 1/2 minutes: Once butter is melted and foaming, add garlic and immediately start spooning the bubbling butter continuously over the salmon for 1 1/2 minutes. To do this, tilt the pan slightly so the butter pools on one side. Use a large spoon to scoop the butter up and spoon it over the salmon.
  • Remove salmon from stove: Check Internal temperature of salmon. It should be 50°C/122°F for medium-rare (optimum juiciness pull temp). Remove salmon to a plate. Rest for 3 minutes - it will rise to 53°C/127°F. (See Note 2 for internal temperatures)
  • Add lemon juice to butter: Put pan back on unlit stove to keep butter hot. Add lemon juice.
  • Serve: Place salmon on serving plates. Spoon over butter (be judicious, it's rich!), garnish with a sprinkle of parsley. Pictured in the post with Cauliflower Mash and leafy greens with French Vinaigrette.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 pounds small red-skinned potatoes, halved or quartered
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Four 5- to 6-ounce skin-on center-cut salmon fillets (3/4 to 1 inch thick)
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus lemon wedges for serving
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups packed mixed baby spinach and arugula (about 3 1/2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in the bottom of an Instant Pot. Add 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons of the butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Place the pot's steam rack over the potatoes.
  • Rub the top and sides of the salmon fillets with the paprika and lemon zest and season generously with salt and pepper. Place skin-side down on the rack. Put on the lid, making sure the steam valve is in the sealing position, and set the cooker to high pressure for 3 minutes. When finished, carefully turn the steam valve to the venting position to release the pressure.
  • Remove the salmon and rack and set the cooker to saute at normal heat. When the potatoes start sizzling, add the garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes; stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and season generously with salt and pepper. Smash the potatoes with a fork or wooden spoon until chunky.
  • Turn off the cooker. Add the mixed greens to the potatoes and stir until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the salmon and potato mixture among plates. Serve with lemon wedges.

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:

  • For the best results, use fresh salmon fillets that are about 1 inch thick.
  • Season the salmon fillets liberally with salt and pepper before cooking.
  • Cook the salmon fillets over medium heat until they are just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • To prevent the salmon fillets from sticking to the pan, use a non-stick skillet or lightly grease the pan with cooking spray.
  • Serve the salmon fillets immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

These salmon fillets on greens are a delicious and healthy meal that can be prepared in just 30 minutes. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the greens are wilted and flavorful. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
