SALMON WITH LEMON AND DILL



Salmon with Lemon and Dill image

This is a wonderful (and easy) recipe I got from my Aunt. The flavors of lemon and dill really complement the fish. I like to use wild Alaskan salmon for this recipe, but any salmon will work. I usually don't measure, so these are all estimates. Play with the ingredients to suit your own tastes!

BAKED LEMON GARLIC SALMON RECIPE



Baked Lemon Garlic Salmon Recipe image

Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

Time 28m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lb salmon fillet
Kosher salt
Extra virgin olive oil (I used Early Harvest Greek extra virgin olive oil)
1/2 lemon, sliced into rounds
Parsley for garnish
Zest of 1 large lemon
Juice of 2 lemons
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (I used Early Harvest Greek extra virgin olive oil)
5 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tsp dry oregano
1 tsp sweet paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Make the lemon-garlic sauce. In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix together the lemon juice, lemon zest, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, oregano, paprika and black pepper. Give the sauce a good whisk.
  • Prepare a sheet pan lined with a large piece of foil (should be large enough to fold over salmon). Brush top of the foil with extra virgin olive oil.
  • Now, pat salmon dry and season well on both sides with kosher salt. Place it on the foiled sheetpan. Top with lemon garlic sauce (make sure to spread the sauce evenly.)
  • Fold foil over the salmon (seam-side up). Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until salmon is almost completely cooked through at the thickest part (cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your fish. If your salmon is thinner, check several minutes early to ensure your salmon does not overcook. If your piece is very thick, 1 1/2 or more inches, it may take a bit longer.)
  • Carefully remove from oven and open foil to uncover the top of the salmon. Place under the broiler briefly, about 3 minutes or so. Watch closely as it broils to make sure it doesn't overcook and the garlic does not burn.)

SALMON WITH WHOLE LEMON DRESSING



Salmon With Whole Lemon Dressing image

Roasting salmon low and slow in one large piece means just cooked, perfectly medium-rare salmon every time. In a pinch, this recipe would work with pre-portioned salmon fillets, but make sure they are at least an inch thick, and decrease the cooking time by about 5 to 8 minutes. The lemon dressing here is tangy, floral and, yes, a little bitter (as the whole lemon is involved, pith and all). If that's not your preferred flavor profile, feel free to only use the zest and juice.

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     dinner, weekday, seafood, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lemons, seeds removed, peel, pith and fruit finely chopped
1 small shallot or garlic clove, finely chopped
3 oregano, marjoram or thyme sprigs, leaves stripped and chopped
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 1/2 pounds skin-on salmon fillet (skinless is fine in a pinch)
1 head butter or Little Gem lettuce, torn into large pieces
2 Persian cucumbers or radishes, or both, sliced, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a small bowl, combine finely chopped lemon, shallot, oregano and vinegar for the dressing. Season with salt and pepper, and add 1/4 cup olive oil. Set aside.
  • Season salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. Place skin-side down in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish (or other 2-quart equivalent). Spoon half the lemon dressing over the salmon, and place in the oven until salmon is just cooked through but still a nice orange-pink in the thickest parts for more of a medium-rare salmon, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet.
  • Meanwhile, scatter lettuces onto a large serving platter. Once salmon is out of the oven, use a spoon or spatula to transfer it to the serving platter with the lettuces, leaving behind the skin. Spoon remaining lemon dressing over the salmon and lettuces. Serve alongside cucumbers or radishes, or both, for crunch.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon fillet. Look for a fillet that is firm and has a bright, vibrant color. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a grayish tint.
  • Use fresh lemon juice. Bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch, but fresh lemon juice will give your salmon a brighter, more flavorful taste.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is cooked through, or the flesh will become dry and flaky.
  • Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. It can be kept warm in a low oven for up to 15 minutes, but it is best enjoyed when it is hot and flaky.

Conclusion:

Salmon with lemon is a classic dish that is both delicious and healthy. It is a great source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins. This dish is also relatively easy to make, and it can be prepared in under 30 minutes. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish for a dinner party, salmon with lemon is a great option.
