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.

ALMOST AUNT SANDY'S SWEET AND SOUR SALMON



Almost Aunt Sandy's Sweet and Sour Salmon image

All my other relatives served gefilte fish at holiday meals, but not Aunt Sandy. Instead of breaking the fast on Yom Kippur with gefilte fish, kugel and bagels and lox, she made potage Parmentier, pesto pasta salad and, her masterpiece, sweet and sour fish in a shimmering aspic. In my version, I reduced sugar and substituted balsamic for the sharper wine vinegar. I added raisins and sliced lemons, an idea stolen from a similar recipe I found online. I eliminated the peppercorns, which were unpleasant to crunch, adding aromatic thyme instead. Finally, because I didn't want aspic, I substituted prepared fish broth for the mess of boiling bones. The broth was light and refreshing with a gentle acidity that was balanced by the sweetness of the raisins. And the fish was succulent and rich and suffused with flavor.

Categories     easy, quick, appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 8 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 cups fish broth
3 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1 bay leaf
Salt
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 bunch thyme
8 center-cut skin-on wild salmon fillets, 3 ounces each
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 small lemon, thinly sliced
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
Challah, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large pot, simmer fish broth with garlic, bay leaf and salt for 15 minutes.
  • In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, scatter red onion and half of the thyme. Place salmon on top, skin side down, and season with salt and pepper. Scatter remaining thyme, raisins and lemon on top.
  • Stir vinegar and sugar into broth and let simmer for 1 minute to dissolve sugar. Remove garlic and bay leaf from broth; carefully pour broth over fish. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until fish is just cooked through to taste. Serve hot, warm or cold, with challah for dipping into broth.

1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
½ teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 1½-pound skinless salmon fillet (1¼ to 1½ inches thick)

  • Choose the right salmon fillet: Look for a fillet that is firm and has a vibrant color. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a lot of white streaks.
  • Cook the salmon to perfection: Salmon is best cooked to medium-rare or medium. This will keep the fish moist and flavorful. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Roast the asparagus until tender: Asparagus should be roasted until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy.
  • Make the lemon caper sauce ahead of time: The lemon caper sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're ready to serve the salmon.
  • Serve the salmon immediately: Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the fish is hot and flavorful.
