Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/4 pounds cauliflower florets (regular, purple, Romanesco or a mix), halved or quartered if large
12 ounces baby red potatoes, halved
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons Madras curry powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup plain yogurt
1 Persian cucumber, grated on the large holes of a box grater
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for topping
3 scallions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
Pinch of red pepper flakes
4 center-cut salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon hot paprika, plus more for topping
1/4 cup hot mango chutney
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Place a rimmed baking sheet in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 450˚ F. Toss the cauliflower and potatoes with the olive oil, curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Spread out the vegetables on the hot pan, cut-sides down, and bake until browned around the edges and tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the yogurt, cucumber, cilantro, 1 scallion, the lemon juice, coriander, red pepper flakes and a big pinch of salt in a small bowl. Stir to combine, then refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and preheat the broiler. Stir the cauliflower and potatoes, then arrange them to create four spots for the salmon. Add the salmon to the pan, skin-side down, and season with salt and the paprika. Combine the chutney and vinegar and spread over the top of the fish. Broil until the salmon is browned around the edges and just cooked through, 6 to 9 minutes, depending on the thickness.
  • Spoon some of the yogurt sauce over the salmon. Top with the remaining 2 scallions and cilantro; sprinkle with paprika. Serve with the remaining yogurt sauce.

WILD SALMON WITH CHIVE OIL AND LIME CRèME FRAîCHE



Wild Salmon With Chive Oil and Lime Crème Fraîche image

The wild king salmon season opens in late spring in Alaska and all the way down the West Coast. The season continues through summer, but is at its best in June. The year's first wild salmon has brilliant red flesh, a mild sweet flavor and a velvety texture. Farmed salmon doesn't compare. You pay a high price for wild salmon, but the splurge is worth it. Paired with bright green chive oil and limey crème fraîche, it will make you swoon.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (6-ounce) pieces wild king salmon fillet
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
1 cup roughly chopped chives, plus 2 tablespoons thinly sliced chives, for garnish
3/4 cup grapeseed oil or another neutral oil, such as safflower
1 cup crème fraîche
Zest and juice of 1 small lime
Chive blossoms or other edible blossoms (optional)
Watercress sprigs or other peppery greens, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Lay the salmon fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Coat salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Bring to room temperature.
  • Make the chive oil: Put 1 cup roughly chopped chives in a blender or food processor. With the food processor running, slowly add oil and a pinch of salt. You should have a bright-green oil. Transfer chive oil to a small bowl.
  • Put crème fraîche in a small bowl. Stir in lime zest and juice. Season with a little salt.
  • Bake salmon on top rack of oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until just done. When you see juices begin to rise to the surface of the fish, remove fish from oven. (It is better to err on the less-cooked side; the fish continues to cook a bit from residual heat.)
  • To serve, transfer fish to individual plates or a platter. Dollop about 1 tablespoon of limey crème fraîche on each fillet. Drizzle chive oil over the top and sprinkle with chives. Garnish with blossoms and watercress sprigs.

Roasted Salmon with Spicy Cauliflower image

The cauliflower in this dish gets loads of flavor from garlic, anchovies, and red-pepper flakes -- and the richness of the salmon offsets those spices.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 garlic cloves
2 to 4 anchovy fillets (optional)
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons anchovy oil (from can of anchovies) or olive oil
1 head cauliflower (about 2 pounds), cored and cut into large florets
4 skinless salmon fillets, (6 to 8 ounces each)
4 thin lemon slices, halved, plus 4 wedges, for serving

Steps:

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 pound mesclun salad greens
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup mustard shallot vinaigrette (recipe follows)
1/2 pound thinly sliced smoked salmon
2 3 to 4-ounce smoked trout fillets, skinned and boned
2 ounces tiny nonpareil capers, drained
1 small red onion, finely diced (about 1/3 cup)
4 tablespoons chili flavored olive oil
8 ounces sour cream
4 ounces salmon caviar
4 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
Country-style pumpernickel bread
1/4 cup champagne vinegar
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon clover honey
4 large, peeled shallots, thinly sliced, about 1/4 cup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Toss the mesclun, or your choice of salad greens in a bowl with the juice of one lemon, plus the vinaigrette. Divide equally onto plates, mounding the greens in the center. Divide the salmon and trout fillets evenly among the plates, arranging them around the greens. Sprinkle the capers and onion around the fish. Drizzle one teaspoon of chili oil over the fish on each plate.
  • Artfully arrange a dollop of sour cream on each plate and top the sour cream with caviar.
  • Dust the plate with some chopped fresh chives and serve with country-style pumpernickel bread.
  • In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a sharp blade, process the vinegar, mustard, honey, shallots, salt and pepper until the shallots are finely chopped. With the processor running, add the oil in a small stream until all the oil has been incorporated and the dressing has achieved a silky, smooth texture. The dressing may be stored, covered, for up to one week in the refrigerator, but should be brought to room temperature before using. Yield: 1 cup;

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, wild-caught salmon.
  • If you don't have chive oil, you can make your own by infusing olive oil with chopped chives.
  • Roast the cauliflower until it is slightly charred and caramelized.
  • Use a variety of greens in the salad, such as arugula, spinach, and kale.
  • Serve the salmon with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
