Salmon With Pea Sauce And Herb Salad Recipes

Steps:

• To make the sauce, heat the peanut oil in a saucepan set over medium heat, add the shallot and onion and season lightly with salt. Cook, stirring, until soft (do not allow the shallot and onion to brown), about 10 minutes. Add the stock and cream and set aside.
• Bring a kettle of very salty water to a boil. Add the peas and cook for 3 minutes. Add the pea shoots and cook for 1 minute more. Drain and plunge into cold water to cool. Drain again and set aside.
• Add the peas and pea shoots to the saucepan and bring the sauce just to a simmer. Puree the mixture in small batches in a blender until very smooth. Pass through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
• To make the herb salad, combine the frisee, chervil, dill and chives in a small bowl. Toss with the olive oil and salt to taste.
• To make the salmon, heat a large heavy skillet over high heat. Add the peanut oil and heat until hot. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and cook, turning once, until lightly browned on both sides and still somewhat pink in the middle, about 6 minutes. Set aside, covered.
• Just before serving, finish the sauce by combining the butter and 1 tablespoon of water in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until the butter is melted. Add the sauce. Heat until very warm but not boiling and season to taste with salt and pepper. Using a hand-held immersion blender, blend until very foamy.
• Skim the foam off the top of the sauce with a spoon and ladle the sauce over the bottom of 4 dinner plates or shallow soup plates. Place a salmon fillet on each plate and top with 1/4 of the herb salad. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Blanch fresh peas in a medium pot of salted boiling water until bright green and just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to an ice-water bath and let cool completely. Drain. (If using frozen peas, skip this step.)
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rub salmon on both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side down. Roast until medium-rare, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine shallot, wine, and vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons.
• Reduce heat to low. Whisk in mustard to combine, then whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, adding each piece as soon as previous one melts. Season with salt and pepper. (If not serving right away, keep beurre blanc warm over a pan of simmering water; do not let sauce simmer.)
• Arrange salmon on a platter and top with peas. Sprinkle with chives, top with pea shoots, and serve, with warm beurre blanc alongside.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300 degrees. Season salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Place in a large baking dish with sliced lemons, orange and thyme (or rosemary, oregano or marjoram), if using.
• Drizzle everything with olive oil and bake until salmon is just turning opaque at the edges and is nearly cooked through, 25 to 35 minutes.
• Toss fresh herbs with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and flaky salt. Serve alongside salmon.

Steps:

• Brush small rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil. Place salmon on prepared baking sheet. Mix orange juice and lemon juice in small bowl; pour over salmon. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon oil over salmon; sprinkle with coarse kosher salt and pepper. Let stand 15 minutes.
• Preheat broiler. Broil salmon, without turning fish over, until just opaque in center, watching closely and turning baking sheet once for even broiling, about 12 minutes. Using 2 wide spatulas, transfer salmon to platter. Surround with Peas and Pea Tendrils with Lemon Dressing. Serve with Dill-Cucumber Sauce.

Steps:

• PATTIES: Drain liquid from salmon and reserve for sauce.
• Remove bones and skin, and flake salmon.
• Mix all patty ingredients together.
• Form into 4 patties.
• Dip both sides in flour.
• In frying pan, heat oil and fry patties over medium heat until lightly browned on both sides- about 10 minutes.
• SAUCE: While patties are cooking, place peas in colander and rinse with hot water to defrost.
• Drain In saucepan or skillet, melt butter; with whisk, stir in flour.
• Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup reserved salmon liquid and milk, whisking to form a creamy sauce.
• Add dill, salt and pepper, stirring constantly over medium heat until mixture gently boils and thickens.
• Stir in the pea and cook 30 seconds to warm.
• Do not cook peas.
• Place patties on individual plates and spoon the sauce over.
• ***Note: If you prefer, you can place the salmon mixture in 4 greased muffin cups and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
• If using this method, omit the first two recipe ingredients (oil and flour).
• VARIATION: You can substitute lightly steamed fresh asparagus for the peas.
• If using asparagus, do not put in sauce.
• Place asparagus over salmon patties and spoon sauce over both.

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.
