Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ pound asparagus spears, trimmed and bottom thirds thinly peeled
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup chopped pecans
2 (4 ounce) fillets salmon
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ lemon, halved (juice only)
⅓ (8 ounce) package angel hair pasta
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon minced parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ lemon, halved (juice only)

Steps:

  • Place asparagus spears into a large skillet, and pour in enough water to cover the bottom of the skillet about 1/2 inch deep. Place skillet over medium heat, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until the water has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir unsalted butter and pecans into the skillet with asparagus, and let simmer until asparagus are beginning to brown and pecans are fragrant, about 2 more minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Season salmon fillets with salt and black pepper and set aside for about 5 minutes; pat off any excess moisture with paper towels.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and pan-fry the salmon fillets in the hot oil until browned and the flesh flakes easily and is nearly opaque in the center, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Squeeze half a lemon over the salmon fillets as they cook.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil; stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still slightly firm, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well and return to saucepan.
  • Stir 2 tablespoons butter, parsley, and basil into the cooked pasta until coated; sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • To make sauce, melt 2 more tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over low heat until melted; stir in Dijon mustard, and squeeze remaining lemon half into the sauce. Allow to simmer for about 3 minutes to blend flavors.
  • To serve, divide angel hair pasta between two plates, top each serving of pasta with half the asparagus and pecans, and arrange a fillet over the asparagus. Spoon Dijon dressing over fillets to serve.

ROASTED SALMON WITH ASPARAGUS, LEMON AND BROWN BUTTER



Roasted Salmon With Asparagus, Lemon and Brown Butter image

Ready in just 15 minutes, this fast dinner combines silky salmon with a vibrant green medley of asparagus and peas. While the fish roasts, the vegetables and sauce come together in one pan on the stovetop. Thinly slicing the asparagus is the trick to maintaining a crisp texture that complements the tender salmon, while bright lemon juice and zingy capers balance the nutty brown butter sauce. Parsley is used here to finish, but dill or tarragon would also be lovely. Leftover vegetables make a fantastic omelet filling the next day.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Seafood Main Dish Recipes     Salmon     Salmon Fillet Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ pounds skinned salmon fillet, cut into 4-inch pieces
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, crushed
salt to taste
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 (12 ounce) package egg noodles
2 tablespoons salted butter
½ cup chopped fresh sage
2 cloves crushed garlic
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 cups frozen peas, thawed
1 lime, juiced
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 lime, juiced

Steps:

  • Place the salmon pieces into a mixing bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, then toss with 4 cloves of crushed garlic. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the salmon onto the foil, and season with salt and thyme. Fold the foil over the salmon to form a sealed pouch. Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon is no longer translucent in the center, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the egg noodles, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink, then return to the cooking pot.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the butter has browned lightly. Stir in the sage and garlic until the sage has wilted. Stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil ,the frozen peas, the juice of 1 lime, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt. Stir into the pasta, and place into a serving bowl. Remove the salmon from the foil, and place onto the pasta. Squeeze another lime over top to serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for produce that is brightly colored and free of blemishes, and use fresh herbs whenever possible.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing salmon, make sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the salmon will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the salmon to the right temperature: Salmon is best cooked to medium-rare or medium, so that it is still slightly pink in the center. Overcooked salmon will be dry and flaky.
  • Make sure the sauce is hot: When serving the salmon, make sure the Dijon butter sauce is hot. This will help to melt the butter and create a smooth, creamy sauce.

Conclusion:

This recipe for salmon with Dijon butter sauce, asparagus, and herb butter angel hair pasta is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the sauce is rich and flavorful. The asparagus and angel hair pasta are the perfect accompaniments. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make this dish at home.
