Fresh Herb Rubbed Salmon Fillets Recipes

Steps:

• Make the salmon: Pulse the coriander and fennel seeds in a spice grinder until coarsely ground. Transfer all but 1 teaspoon of the spice mixture to a small bowl and stir in the sugar and 2 teaspoons salt (reserve the remaining 1 teaspoon spice mixture for the sauce).
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place the salmon skin-side down on the foil. Rub the salmon with the olive oil, then sprinkle with the sugar-spice mixture. Refrigerate, uncovered, 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the herb sauce: Puree the parsley, chervil, chives, lemon zest and juice and the reserved 1 teaspoon spice mixture in a blender until a coarse paste forms. With the machine running, gradually add the olive oil and 1/4 cup cold water and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the broiler. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels. Broil the salmon until the top is browned and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 110˚, 9 to 11 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes on the pan. Transfer the salmon to a serving platter with 2 large spatulas, removing the skin. Serve with the herb sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Place the salmon fillet in a glass, ceramic, or stainless-steel roasting dish and season it generously with salt and pepper. Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice and drizzle the mixture evenly over the salmon. Let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• In a small bowl, stir together the scallions, dill, and parsley. Scatter the herb mixture over the salmon fillet, turning it so that both sides are generously coated with the green herbs. Pour the wine around the fish fillet.
• Roast the salmon for 10 to 12 minutes, until almost cooked in the center at the thickest part. The center will be firm with just a line of uncooked salmon in the very center. (I peek by inserting the tip of a small knife.) Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Cut the salmon crosswise into serving pieces and serve hot with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Process first 8 ingredients in a food processor until smooth.
• Place salmon filets, skin side down in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish.
• Spread herb mixture evenly over filets; cover and chill one hour.
• Grill skin down, covered with a grill lid, over high heat (400-500°F) 6-10 minutes, or until fish flakes with a fork.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Place salmon on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Mix remaining ingredients; spread over salmon. Bake 10-13 minutes or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork.

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.
• Pour oil into a medium bowl. Rinse salmon fillets and pat dry. Dip fillets into oil, being sure to coat both sides, and place skin-side down into the prepared baking pan. Squeeze as much juice as you can from 1 lemon half over the fillets. Coat both sides of salmon with parsley, oregano, basil, and garlic, and sprinkle with 1/2 of the kosher salt.
• Place under the preheated broiler and cook until center is light pink and edges are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove fillets from the oven and immediately plate. Squeeze remaining lemon half over top and sprinkle with remaining kosher salt. Serve with lemon slices.

Steps:

• Season the fillets on both sides with salt and pepper to taste. Grind the fennel seeds coarsely and mix them with the rosemary and orange zest. Press this mixture into the top (nonskin side) of each fillet. Let sit, refrigerated and covered, for up to 24 hours.
• When you're ready to cook, preheat the oven to 450°F. Preheat a large nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat for 3 or 4 minutes. Add the oil or butter and, when it shimmers, place the fillets, coated side down, in the pan. Cook for about 1 minute, or until the herb mixture forms a nicely browned crust.
• Turn the fillets and cook for about a minute more, then transfer to the oven. Cook for about 4 minutes for rare salmon, 5 to 6 minutes for medium-rare, and 8 minutes for well done.
• Variations
• Seed-Rubbed Salmon: Combine 2 tablespoons shelled raw pumpkin seeds and about 2 tablespoons dried porcini pieces in a coffee or spice grinder and grind to a coarse powder. Press some of the mixture into the top (nonskin side) of each of the fillets and cook as directed.
• Spice-Rubbed Salmon: Combine 1 tablespoon coriander seeds or ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon whole or ground cloves, 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds or ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (grind all together if necessary). Press some of the mixture into the top (nonskin side) of each of the fillets and cook as directed.

Steps:

• Combine the chopped herb with the scallions, chives, tarragon, garlic, oil, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Process until the mixture is chopped fine. But overblending will harm texture.
• Add the egg and blend briefly until the egg is coarsely blended.
• Pour water into the bottom of a steamer. Season the fillets with salt and pepper and place them on a steamer rack. Lay 4 basil leaves over each fillet and cover. Bring the water to a boil and steam for 3 to 4 minutes. Do not overcook. The fish can be served hot or cold.
• Transfer the fish to a serving plate. Spoon the vinaigrette over the fillets and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Steps:

• Season salmon fillets and cook in a lightly oiled nonstick skillet over medium-high until opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Toss herbs with equal parts lemon juice and olive oil, then serve over salmon.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place salmon in a small baking dish or ovenproof skillet; drizzle with 1/4 teaspoon oil.
• Make the rub: In a small bowl, stir together mint, garlic, oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
• Sprinkle half the rub mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon. Bake salmon until opaque throughout (about 10 minutes).
• Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick skillet, heat remaining oil over medium heat. Add zucchini, and cook, tossing occasionally until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in scallion, tomatoes, and remaining rub mixture. Cook just to heat through, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper; serve with salmon.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Place salmon in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan, skin side down. Combine remaining ingredients; spread over fillets. Roast to desired doneness, 15-18 minutes.
