SALMON WITH LIME HERB BUTTER



Salmon With Lime Herb Butter image

Reader's Digest, as homey as it gets, took me by surprise with an international lineup of recipes in its "30 Minute Cookbook." I gave its recipe for salmon with lime-herb butter a try, partly because keeping compound butters in the refrigerator is a terrific time saver.

Categories     easy, quick

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 limes
1/4 pound (1 stick) butter
1 2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
12 sprigs fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
4 6-ounce salmon fillets

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Finely grate zest from one lime, and squeeze its juice; set aside. Cut remaining lime into 8 wedges; set aside.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine butter, ginger, 8 sprigs cilantro and lime zest and juice. Process until the mixture is smooth. Season to taste with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper; process again. Mound butter on a piece of foil, and shape into a cylinder. Cover tightly with foil, and place in freezer.
  • Brush a baking sheet with oil, and place salmon fillets skin side down on sheet. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Bake until fish flakes easily, about 8 minutes.
  • To serve, remove lime butter from freezer, and cut into thick rounds. Place a fillet on each of four plates and top each with an equal portion of lime butter. Garnish each plate with two lime wedges and a sprig of cilantro, and serve.

ROASTED SALMON WITH GINGER-LIME BUTTER



Roasted Salmon With Ginger-Lime Butter image

Wild Pacific salmon is available in spring and summer, and the flavor is phenomenal. It definitely tastes better than farmed salmon and is always a better choice, sustainably speaking. Though it is expensive, think of it as a seasonal treat. Whether you choose wild king salmon, coho or sockeye, take care not to overcook it.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, weeknight, seafood, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (1 1/2 pound) wild salmon fillet, such as king or coho, at room temperature
Salt and pepper
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons grated ginger
1 teaspoon lime zest
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 pound baby spinach
Lime wedges, for serving
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, green and white parts

Steps:

  • Lay the salmon on a rimmed baking sheet, and season with salt and pepper. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Make the ginger-lime butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, ginger, lime zest, lemon zest and lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste, and stir well to combine.
  • Transfer salmon, uncovered, to the oven to cook for about 8 minutes. Check the salmon once or twice as it cooks. Depending on the thickness of the fish, it should be fully cooked when little white juices appear on the surface - moist and yielding with big flakes when probed. It may take 10 minutes for thick fillets.
  • As the salmon cooks, put 2 tablespoons ginger-lime butter in a wide deep skillet or large pot over medium heat. When butter is melted, add spinach and a pinch of salt. Put on the lid and turn heat to medium-high. (You may need to add the spinach in batches.) After 2 minutes, remove lid and stir spinach to help it wilt. When all spinach is wilted, turn off the heat.
  • Transfer salmon to a platter or divide among individual plates. Smear the remaining ginger-lime butter on the fish. Surround with wilted spinach and lime wedges, and top with scallions.

SPICY BAKED SALMON RECIPE WITH LIME AND HARISSA



Spicy Baked Salmon Recipe with Lime and Harissa image

Spicy salmon with harissa sauce is all you need for a light, flavor-packed dinner! Ready in just 15 minutes or so, it's the perfect fish dinner for busy weeknights. I recommend using a center-cut salmon fillet to ensure the entire piece of fish cooks at the same speed. For the sauce, homemade harissa or a quality store-bought one will work. Serve this harissa lime baked salmon with a side of bright veggies like sautéed asparagus or crispy lemon broccoli and grains of your choice.

Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

Categories     Entree     Fish

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ pounds salmon fillet
Kosher salt
Extra virgin olive oil,
2 to 4 tablespoons harissa paste, (homemade or store-bought)
1 to 2 tablespoons honey
Juice of 2 large limes, (plus optional lime wedges to serve)
3 to 4 large garlic cloves, (minced)
1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper
1 teaspoon coriander
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon ground ginger
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Make the sauce. In a mixing bowl, add ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil with the harissa paste, honey, lime juice, garlic, spices, and a pinch of kosher salt. Whisk to combine. Set the sauce aside for now.
  • Pat the salmon dry and season on both sides with kosher salt, then place it in a lightly oiled 9" x 13" baking pan. If you like, you can pour a little harissa sauce into the center of the baking pan, and then place the salmon on top.
  • Spoon the sauce all over the salmon and spread it well.
  • Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil and place it on the center rack of the heated oven.
  • Bake for 10 to 15 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 ½ or more inches, it may take a bit longer.)
  • Carefully remove from oven and open foil to uncover the top of the salmon. Place it under the broiler briefly, about 3 minutes or so. Watch closely as it broils to make sure it doesn't over-cook and the garlic does not burn.)
  • Remove from the oven and serve with lime wedges to the side.

LEMON-LIME SALMON WITH VEGGIE SAUTE

A fresh squeeze of lemon juice brightens so many flavors-acid is one of the most important influencers in how a dish tastes. If one acid is good, two is stronger: Add lemon and lime juice when you bake salmon, cooking the supporting cast of vegetables separately until crisp-tender. -Brian Hill, West Hollywood, California

Provided by mightyro_cooking4u

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 17m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 salmon fillets
1 large garlic clove, chopped
1/4 cup lime juice, fresh
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 teaspoons lime zest, finely grated
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • In a blender, puree the garlic, lime juice, salt and pepper until smooth. Add melted butter and blend another 30 seconds. Season salmon fillets all over with salt and pepper. Grill over medium heat on lightly oiled grill rack 4 to 6 minutes (cover if using gas grill.) I used the Flavorwave Oven. Turn fillets over and grill until just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes more. Sprinkle fillets with lime zest and cilantro and then top with the lime butter sauce.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Choose the right salmon: Look for wild-caught, sustainably-sourced salmon fillets that are firm and have a vibrant color. Avoid fillets that are mushy or have brown spots.
  • Season the salmon well: Don't be afraid to season the salmon generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
  • Cook the salmon over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and tender.
  • Be careful not to overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it just until it is opaque in the center. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Make the five-spice lime butter: This flavorful butter is the perfect complement to the salmon. Be sure to use fresh lime zest and juice for the best flavor.
  • Serve the salmon immediately: Salmon is best served fresh out of the pan. Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley for a pop of color.

Conclusion:

This sautéed salmon with five-spice lime butter is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the five-spice lime butter is the perfect complement. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, grilled asparagus, or a simple salad.
