Pan Roasted Salmon With White Bean Ancho Chile Broth Cilantro Pesto And Roasted Shallots With Sauteed Kale Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• For the marinade, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, mustard, garlic, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1/2 tablespoon pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
• Place the salmon on a sheet pan that has been covered in aluminum foil, and drizzle the marinade over the salmon. Allow the salmon to sit for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the potatoes and 2 tablespoons salt in a large pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then place the colander with the potatoes over the empty pot off the heat and cover with a clean, dry kitchen towel. Leave the potatoes to steam for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender but firm. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them in thick slices and set aside.
• Place the salmon in the oven and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until it is almost cooked through. Remove to a plate and allow it to rest for 15 minutes. Remove the skin and break into large pieces.
• Blanch the haricots verts in a large pot of boiling salted water for 1 1/2 minutes only. Drain immediately and immerse in a bowl of ice water. Drain again and set aside.
• For the vinaigrette, combine the vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Set aside.
• Arrange the salmon, potatoes, haricots verts, tomatoes, eggs, watercress, olives and anchovies, if used, on a large flat platter. Drizzle some vinaigrette over the fish and vegetables and serve the rest in a pitcher on the side.

Steps:

• Bring the salmon to room temperature 10 minutes before cooking.
• Warm a large nonstick skillet with oil over medium-low heat. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Raise the heat to medium-high. Place the salmon, skin-side up in the pan. Cook until golden brown on 1 side, about 4 minutes. Turn the fish over with a spatula, and cook until it feels firm to the touch and the skin is crisp if desired, about 3 minutes more.
• The skin can be served or removed easily with a knife or spoon.
• Transfer to a plate and serve as desired.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sweat the onion and garlic. Add the wine, raise the heat to high, and reduce the liquid completely.

Pure the mixture in a blender or processor, or in the pan with a hand-held blender. Season to taste with salt and pepper and honey. Place a fillet in a bowl and ladle the broth around it. Garnish with the remaining roasted vegetables and sage pesto.
• In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until it begins to smoke and then add the butter. Season the fillets with salt and pepper to taste on both sides and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
• In a food processor, combine the sage, parsley, garlic, pine nuts and cheese and process for 20 seconds, slowly adding the olive oil while the machine is running. Transfer to a mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• In a large heavy skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, shallots, basil leaves, and pepper flakes, partially cover, and cook over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Uncover, stir in the plums, peaches, and tomatoes, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until they start to soften. Add the sugar and cook until melted. Stir in the vinegar and cook on low heat until the fruits are completely soft, stirring occasionally. Transfer the mixture to a food processor or the jar of an electric blender and puree until smooth. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Pour into a bowl and set aside.
• Lightly brush the salmon with olive oil. Season it with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and pan roast it until lightly browned, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook the second side for the same amount of time for medium-rare, or 5 minutes for medium. Remove and serve each fillet with a generous spoonful of fruit salsa drizzled on top. Pass the remaining salsa at the table.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until soft. Add wine and cook until almost reduced. Add saffron and stock and bring to a boil. Add the beans, chickpeas, sausage, and mussels, cover the pot and cook until the mussels have opened. Add the butter, lemon juice, parsley, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Heat remaining olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
• Season cod on both sides with salt and pepper. Sear, skin-side down until golden brown. Turn the fish over and continue cooking until just cooked through. Place cod in shallow bowls and ladle linguica-chickpea broth, over and around. Make sure each plate has 6 mussels. Garnish with more parsley.

Add the remaining chickpeas, the white beans, and thyme and cook 5 minutes over medium heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Season the fillets with salt and pepper to taste, place them skin-side down in the pan and saute for 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Turn the fillets over and place the pan in the oven and continue cooking for 5 to 6 minutes. Ladle broth into large, shallow bowls. Place a few tablespoons of sauteed spinach in the center and place the fillets on top and garnish with thyme sprigs and serve aoili on side.
