Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
3 bunches fresh tarragon

Put the vegetables in a large roasting pan coat with the remainder of the oil, season with salt and pepper and mix to combine. Place the salmon on the bed of vegetables. Sprinkle fish and vegetables with white wine. Place the roasting pan in the oven and cook for 45 minutes or until the fish is thoroughly cooked. About 15 minutes for every inch of fish.

Time 27m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pound whole Atlantic or Pacific salmon
1 handful fresh thyme
1 handful fresh oregano
6 cloves, fresh garlic, smashed open
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon crab boil seasoning (recommended: Old Bay)
1/4 cup olive oil
Heavy duty aluminum foil
Cooling rack

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • With aluminum foil, line large sheet pan (11.5 by 15-inches) so it completely covers the tray. Leave about 12 to 14 inches of excess foil extended over the tray so you can later wrap the fish. Place the cooling rack on the foiled tray allowing for the fish to be elevated.
  • Make sure the salmon is fully rinsed and patted dry. With your hands, rub olive oil around the outside and inside cavity of the salmon. In a small mixing bowl, add the thyme, oregano, garlic, sea salt, and crab boil seasoning. Mix together until incorporated. Rub the inside and outside of the salmon with the herb mixture. Place salmon on the cooling rack and then cover fish completely with the excess aluminum foil. Place into the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Check to see if fish is tender by opening the foil and looking inside the cavity. If there is a light pink color, the fish is ready to serve. If not, keep in the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes maximum. Once salmon is a light pink color, remove from the oven, cut open aluminum foil.
  • To serve, slide a serving spatula between the meat and the bone of the fish. Scoop out and serve.

Slow-Roasted Whole Salmon image

Fresh salmon is stuffed with herbs and onions, wrapped in aluminum foil, and slow-roasted, resulting in an elegant and absolutely delicious dish that looks stunning on a buffet. Garnish with fresh herbs, lemon slices, and capers. I usually put a small wedge of tomato in the mouth and a caper or slice of stuffed olive over the eye.

Time 3h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ cup butter, cut into small pieces
1 (3 pound) whole salmon, or more to taste
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon dried tarragon
1 tablespoon dried dill weed
3 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  • Spread out a long piece of aluminum foil long enough to wrap the fish completely. Rub generously with a few pieces of butter. Place fish on top and spread onion slices in a thin layer inside the cavity of the fish. Arrange the remaining butter on top of the onion.
  • Distribute tarragon, dill, and bay leaves over the salmon. Wrap aluminum foil around the fish loosely but securely, folding seams together so that juices do not leak. Place packet on a large baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 2 1/2 hours.
  • Remove salmon from oven and let cool in the aluminum foil, at least 15 minutes. Gently tear the packet away from the bottom of the fish and transfer fish to a platter. Peel skin off gently using a fork.

WHOLE ROASTED SIDE OF SALMON

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1 1/2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary, plus 6 sprigs for garnish
4 to 6 dashes hot sauce
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 2 3/4-pound skinless side of salmon
2 lemons, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, honey, vinegar, rosemary and hot sauce. Taste, and add more hot sauce if desired.
  • In a second small bowl, stir together the panko, olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
  • Lay the salmon on the prepared baking sheet; if necessary, trim the tail end so it lays flat. Sprinkle the salmon liberally with salt and pepper, then spread with the mayonnaise mixture. Cover the mayonnaise with the panko mixture, pressing it in lightly to adhere.
  • Roast for 16 to 18 minutes for medium salmon with a golden-brown crust. Let rest for 5 minutes. Use the parchment to transfer the salmon to a large serving platter, then lift part of the salmon with a large offset spatula and remove the parchment. Garnish the platter with rosemary sprigs and lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest salmon possible. Look for bright, firm fish with no off odors.
  • Rinse the salmon under cold water and pat it dry. This will help the seasonings adhere to the fish.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the skin of the salmon. This will help the heat penetrate the fish evenly.
  • Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil or lemon juice.
  • Roast the salmon in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the salmon rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the fish.

Conclusion:

Whole roasted salmon is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own home.
