Herb Smoked Pacific Salmon With Shaved Fennel And Dill Salad Recipes

Steps:

• For the herb butter, combine the butter, garlic, scallions, dill, parsley, juice juice, salt and pepper in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat until mixed, but do not whip.
• To serve, spread some herb butter on a slice of bread and top it with a slice of smoked salmon.

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:

• Whisk 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 mashed anchovy fillet, 1 small grated garlic clove, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl; let sit 5 minutes. Whisk in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Peel 2 small turnips and thinly slice on a mandoline. Toss with the dressing along with 1/2 cup fresh parsley; season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Finely grind fennel seeds in spice mill or coffee grinder. Transfer to small bowl. Mix in next 5 ingredients.
• Spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush salmon lightly on both sides with olive oil. Rub spice mixture generously over flesh side of salmon. Place salmon, skin side up, on grill rack; cover and cook until fish is slightly firmer, about 8 minutes. Slide rimless baking sheet under salmon to turn salmon over without breaking. Place another rimless baking sheet atop salmon. Using both hands, firmly hold baking sheets together and invert salmon; slide salmon, flesh side up, off baking sheet and onto grill rack. Cover and grill until just opaque in center, about 8 minutes longer. Using rimless baking sheet, remove salmon from grill. Gently slide salmon, flesh side up, onto platter and serve.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss fennel and fronds with lemon zest and juice; season with salt and pepper. Lay salmon on a serving plate, top with fennel mixture, and drizzle with oil.

Steps:

• Mix together the lemon juice, mayonnaise, a little of the dill and some seasoning, then spoon into a ramekin. In a large bowl, mix together the remaining dill, fennel and cucumber, season, then drizzle over the vinegar and oil.
• Put the watercress on 2 plates and top with the fennel salad. Flake the salmon on the side and serve with the lemon mayo.
