Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 14 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 to 6 pounds whole salmon, scaled, gutted and washed
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
3 bunches fresh tarragon
2 pounds carrots, peeled and sliced thin
8 large shallots, peeled and sliced
2 pound leeks, well washed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup white wine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Rub the salmon on all sides with 4 tablespoons of the oil and season inside and out with salt and pepper. Place the tarragon bunch inside the cavity of the fish. 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.
  • Carefully lift the fish out of the pan and place on a platter along with the roasted vegetables.
  • Serve by portioning out the fish using two large spoons: filleting as you go first the top fillet, discard the center bone and then serve the bottom fillet.

SPICED ROAST SIDE OF SALMON

Serve salmon with paprika, ginger and honey mustard glaze for an Indian-inspired, original roast

Provided by Roopa Gulati

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1½ kg side of salmon, skin on
1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for brushing
½ tsp ground ginger
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp coarsely ground black peppercorns
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
1 tsp honey
1 lemon, cut into wedges, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line a big roasting tin with baking parchment or foil - this helps to prevent the fish from sticking to the tin as it cooks. Brush the salmon skin with oil and place it, skin-side down, on the paper.
  • Mix the ground ginger with the paprika, pepper, mustard, honey and 1 tbsp olive oil. Spread it evenly over the fleshy side of the fish.
  • Roast, uncovered, for about 20 mins until the salmon is cooked through - check by poking a knife into the fillet and making sure the fish flakes easily.
  • Serve directly from the tin, or use a couple of fish slices to carefully lift the salmon onto a big plate. Slice into portions and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Salmon: Opt for a side of salmon that is fresh, firm, and has a vibrant color.
  • Properly Prepare the Salmon: Rinse the salmon under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels to ensure it cooks evenly.
  • Generously Season the Salmon: Use a flavorful combination of herbs, spices, salt, and pepper to enhance the natural taste of the salmon.
  • Roast at the Right Temperature: Roast the salmon at a high temperature initially to sear the skin and then reduce the heat to allow the fish to cook evenly throughout.
  • Monitor the Cooking Time: To ensure perfect doneness, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the salmon. The ideal internal temperature is 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare and 155°F (68°C) for medium.
  • Let the Salmon Rest: After roasting, allow the salmon to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, resulting in a moist and succulent fish.

Conclusion:

Whole roasted side of salmon is a versatile and impressive dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With careful preparation, proper seasoning, and precise cooking, you can achieve a perfectly cooked salmon with tender, flaky flesh and a crispy skin. Whether you prefer a simple preparation with herbs and lemon or a more elaborate marinade, this recipe provides a delicious and satisfying meal that is sure to impress your family and friends.
