Garlic Herb Salmon Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the butter, zest, herbs and garlic. Mix until everything is well mixed. Season, to taste, with salt. If using right away, keep the butter at room temperature. If making ahead, reserve in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before using.
• Preheat grill to medium.
• Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature. Season with salt and coat with olive oil. Brush and oil the grill. Place the salmon, skin side down, on the clean, preheated grill. After 2 to 3 minutes, rotate the salmon 90 degrees to create cross-hatch grill marks on the salmon skin. Cook the salmon for another 3 to 4 minutes. As the salmon cooks it will turn from translucent orange to opaque pink.
• Turn the salmon over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. If the salmon starts to burn, or the flames flare up move the fish to a cooler part of the grill.* Remove from the grill and top with the room temperature compound butter. The butter should act as a sauce and melt over and coat the grilled salmon.
• What a delish fish!
• *Tip: It is a general rule to cook fish for 8 minutes per inch of thickness. I like salmon cooked to about medium, so I cook mine for a little less.

Steps:

• Remove Alaska Sockeye salmon from refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking. Heat grill to 375°F. Cut 2 pieces of wide, heavy-duty aluminum foil about 6-inches longer than the salmon side. Stack the foil pieces (shiny side down) on a baking sheet and spray generously with cooking spray. Place the salmon, skin side down, in the middle of the foil. Fold the foil sides and ends up (1 to 2-inches) to make a shallow pan around the salmon, leaving at least a 1-inch margin around the fish. Season salmon with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix together the wine, butter, garlic and herbs. Spoon the mixture over the top of the salmon, drizzling with any remaining liquid. Carefully transfer the foil pan to the center of the preheated grill. Do not cover the salmon with foil or close the foil over the salmon. Close grill cover and cook for 10 to 13 minutes, cooking just until fish is lightly translucent in the center - it will finish cooking from retained heat. Remove from the grill and let rest a few minutes before serving.
• Roast in an oven preheated to 375°F, cooking 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly translucent in the center. Be sure to let the salmon rest a few minutes before serving.

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:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients. Place salmon in a food processor; pulse until coarsely chopped, and add to bread crumb mixture. Mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into eight 1/2-in.-thick patties., On a lightly greased grill rack, grill burgers, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat until a thermometer reads 160°, 3-4 minutes on each side. Serve on rolls with spreadable cheese and lettuce.

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:

• Drain the liquid from the salmon.
• Remove the skin, but keep the bones.
• Cut the onions into small chunks and place into a food processor with the minced garlic.
• Process on pulse until the onions are minced.
• (If doing by hand, grate the onions and mix with the garlic in a large mixing bowl.) Add the salmon, eggs, evaporated milk and lemon juice to the onion-garlic mixture in the food processor.
• Process until smooth.
• (If doing by hand, mash the salmon with a potato masher to as fine a texture as possible, and add along with the same ingred- ients as above to the onion-garlic mixture in the bowl, and mix well) Scrape the food processor contents into a large mixing bowl.
• Add the seasoned bread crumbs 1/3 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
• You may need more or less than 1 cup of the bread crumbs de- pending on how juicy your salmon, onions or lemons are.
• You want to add enough bread crumbs so that the mixture holds together well enough to form the patties.
• Form the mixture into patties 1/2 inch thick.
• Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Fry the patties on medium heat about 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown.
• You will have two batches of patties so you may have to add a little more oil to fry the second batch.

Steps:

• Preheat over to 375 degrees.
• Mix together first 8 ingredients.
• Lightly season the salmon with salt and pepper.
• Spread herb butter evenly over salmon.
• Cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes or until salmon flakes with a fork.
• DO NOT OVERCOOK!
• Spoon a bit of melted butter mixture on plated salmon. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Melt the butter and squeeze in lemon juice and add crushed garlic, cilantro and green onions and mix well. Place salmon fillet on a piece of aluminum foil that is large enough to completely wrap and seal the fillet. After placing the salmon on the foil, brush or pour the butter mixture on the salmon. Seal the salmon in foil. Place on the barbecue grill and cook for 10 to 12 minutes per side. Any longer will dry out the salmon. Cut in portions and serve immediately.
• Fish can also be cooked in a preheated 350-degree F oven for 35 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• For butter, mix all ingredients in a food processor or by hand with a rubber spatula and store covered in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Salt and pepper both sides of salmon.
• Melt butter in non-stick pan. Saute onion and garlic until soft, approximately 3-4 minutes.
• Add salmon steaks to the pan, pushing onions and garlic to the side and around the salmon. Cook salmon approximately 4-5 minutes and then flip.
• Add the lemon juice, squeezing over the salmon as it cooks.
• Cook salmon an additional 4-5 minutes or until it flakes easily. Remove salmon from the pan and keep warm.
• Add another 2-3 Tablespoons of butter to the pan. Allow to melt before adding cream or milk.
• Bring butter/onion/milk mixture to a simmer. Simmer 1 - 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Pour over salmon steaks and serve. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat. Whisk 1 Tbsp. honey, 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt, and 1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest in a small bowl to combine. Add 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped, 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature, and 2 Tbsp. finely chopped dill and whisk again to combine (some lemon zest may remain separate and that's okay).
• Tear off a large piece of foil according to the length and thickness of salmon (15x15" or larger) and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Place one 1 lb. boneless salmon fillet, preferably skin-on, arranging skin side down if skin is on, in center of foil (the skin will stick slightly to foil and brown while the fish cooks; you want this as it will add to the sauce). Spread garlic butter over fish, then drizzle 3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice on top. Carefully fold one side of foil up and over fish so lemon juice stays contained, then bring other sides up to meet it and fold together to seal, leaving about a 4" opening on top for steam to escape (this will help sauce reduce a bit).
• Place foil packet on grate and grill fish until opaque throughout and firm, 16-20 minutes. Transfer packet to a cutting board and let fish rest 5 minutes.
• Carefully open foil packet and cut fish in half. Transfer to plates; pour juices from packet over. Drizzle fish with remaining 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, dividing evenly, and top with more finely chopped dill.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Add salmon and cook for 5 minutes on each side or until salmon flakes easily with a fork. Remove from skillet; cover to keep warm.
• Add milk and cream cheese to skillet; cook and stir until the cheese is melted and mixture is well blended. Stir in cucumbers and dill.
• Return salmon to skillet. Cook 2 minutes or until heated through. Serve salmon topped with sauce.
