Salt And Pepper Salmon Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
• Mix spinach, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder in a large bowl. Cover the bottom of the baking dish with the mixture and set aside.
• Mix tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno peppers, habanero peppers, black olives, remaining lemon juice, remaining lime juice, and remaining chipotle powder together in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly.
• Place salmon fillets on top of spinach in the baking dish and top with tomato mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 14 minutes.

Steps:

• Run your finger up and down the center of the salmon feeling for any pin bones.
• Remove any that you find with a needle-nose pliers or tweezers.
• Using a sharp knife, cut across the width of the salmon, dividing it into 4 equal portions.
• Lightly salt the salmon and let it set a couple of minutes (this will help you get crispy skin).
• Heat about 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over med-high heat until the oil is almost smoking.
• Season the salmon with pepper, and rub about 1 ½ tablespoons butter on the skin side of each fillet.
• Add the salmon to the pan, skin side down; to get crispy skin, cook the salmon almost to completion, about 6 minutes.
• Flip the salmon and cook 1-2 minutes or until the flesh side is nicely seared.
• Transfer salmon to a platter and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Preheat a grill.
• Rub the salmon fillets with oil and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Grill the salmon until marked on both sides and medium doneness, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and set aside.
• Cut the bread into 8 (1/2-inch thick) slices. Place the bread on a sheet pan and brush with olive oil. Place the bread in the oven and cook until lightly toasted, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the ends from the cucumber and slice in half horizontally. Slice on a mandoline into 1/8-inch thick slices.
• Spread the Salmon Remoulade on 2 slices of the toasted bread. Place the salmon on 1 slice of the bread. Top with a few slices of the cucumber and 2 slices of tomato. Toss the arugula with some of the House Dressing in a small bowl. Top the tomatoes with 1/4 of the arugula. Top with the other slice of bread and cut in half diagonally. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Place the lemon aioli in a food processor. Add capers, mustards, ketchup, tarragon, red onion, dill, chives, basil, and smoked salmon and pulse until well combined. Taste for seasoning.
• In a food processor, combine the egg yolk, mustard, and roasted garlic and process. Add the lemon juice and pulse to combine. With the motor running, slowly add the oil until it is all added and the mixture is emulsified. Add the lemon zest and thyme and pulse to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the shallots and the mustard. Whisk in the vinegars and then the olive and vegetable oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate until needed.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the aioli, chop the garlic and chipotle pepper together on a cutting board to make a coarse paste. Place the paste in a food processor, add the lime juice and roasted red peppers, and purée. Add the mayonnaise, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and process until smooth. Set aside.
• For the salmon, place a large (12-inch), dry cast-iron skillet over high heat for 5 minutes. Place the salmon fillets on a board, pat dry with paper towels, and rub all over with olive oil. With the fillets rounded side up, sprinkle them with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon black pepper.
• Place the salmon in the skillet rounded side down and cook over medium-high heat for exactly 2 minutes without moving! Using a large metal spatula, turn the fillets rounded side up and place the skillet in the oven. Roast for 3 to 4 minutes, until the centers are rare. Cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil and allow the salmon to rest for 3 to 4 minutes for medium-rare or 5 minutes for medium. Serve the salmon hot with the aioli and a wedge of lime for squeezing.

Steps:

• Season the salmon lightly with salt, brush the top with a little melted butter, and immediately sprinkle evenly with the crushed pepper and chopped ginger. Drizzle the remaining butter over. If you wait too long, the butter will harden and the mixture won't stick. Refrigerate, covered, until needed.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Prepare the sauce: In a small saute pan, melt 2 tablespoons butter until foamy. Over medium heat, saute the shallots and garlic until the shallots are translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato and cook 1 or 2 minutes longer. Pour in the wine and vinegar, turn up the heat a little, and reduce until 1/2 cup remains. Pour in the water and reduce by half. Strain into a clean pan. Finish the sauce by whisking in the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• Brush some olive oil over a baking tray large enough to hold the salmon slices in 1 layer and arrange the salmon on the pan. Roast until medium, about 10 minutes. The salmon should be cooked on the outside, but still moist and slightly underdone on the inside.
• Presentation: Divide the sauce amoung 4 warm dinner plates. Spoon equal amounts of celery root puree in the center of each plate and place 1 piece of salmon on the top.
• 1 celery root (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled, trimmed, and cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 or 2 small baking potatoes (about 4 ounces), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons (1-ounce) unsalted butter
• Freshly ground white pepper
• Place the celery root and potato in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Season with salt and cook until soft, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Drain the water and return the celery and potato to the pan. Pour in the cream and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until thickened and most of the cream is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, stir in the butter, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Puree in a food mill, return to the pan, and keep warm over simmering water. Use as needed.
• Yield: about 2 1/2 cups

Steps:

• Salmon is a really unique fish that we often take for granted. Everyone smothers it with heavy sauces or encrusts it with this and that...which is fine. But why not enjoy the fish for what it is from time to time? So, simply season the salmon fillet with a nice sprinkle of salt and coarse ground pepper, both sides. Rub the fillet with a small amount of olive oil. Grill or pan sear the salmon until just medium rare or medium, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. (The saying is, you don't cook salmon, you should merely threaten it!)
• In a skillet over high heat, heat the butter until nearly smoking. Add the shiitakes and leeks and cook on high heat until the edges just begin to brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• To serve, simply spoon the mushroom/leek mixture onto salmon. Serve with a side of spinach spaetzle and a simple red pepper compound butter.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• In a small bowl, combine the salt and pepper for the salmon.
• Rinse and towel dry the salmon fillets, rub with salt and pepper.
• In a large oven proof skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil, add the salmon, place in oven and bake for 5 minutes.
• Turn the fish over and bake an additional 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
• For the red pepper sauté, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
• Add the onion; cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add the bell pepper; cook an additional 5 minutes; add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
• Add wine; cook 5 minutes, sprinkle with salt if desired.
• Place the fish on individual serving plates; divide the red pepper mixture evenly among the servings and sprinkle with dried basil.

Steps:

• Rinse rice in several changes of cold water in a medium bowl until water runs clear. Drain well, then transfer to a small saucepan. Pour in 1¼ cups cold water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Give rice a stir so grains don't stick to the bottom. Cover pot and reduce heat to lowest setting. Cook, undisturbed, until water is evaporated and rice is tender, 18-20 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, still covered, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, trim dark green tops from scallions and thinly slice; set aside. Thinly slice white and pale green parts of scallions of a deep diagonal. Set aside separately.
• Mix ginger and 2 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl. Add cod and season with salt and sprinkle all over with pepper. Toss to coat.
• Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Cook cod, undisturbed, until golden underneath, about 2 minutes. Turn over and scatter reserved white and pale green scallion parts on top. Cook, shaking the pan a few times, until fish is cooked through and some scallions are caramelized and some are just slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Stir vinegar and sugar in a small bowl until sugar dissolves. Mix into rice. Add butter and reserved dark green scallion tops and gently stir until butter is melted. Season with salt.
• Transfer rice to a platter and top with fish; pour any pan juices over.

Steps:

• Core and remove the seeds from the red peppers. Cut them into 1/4-inch cubes or strips.
• Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the salmon steaks in one layer.
• Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper to taste. Place the steaks in the pan and cook over high heat until they are lightly browned, about a minute and a half on each side. The time will vary, depending on the thickness of the fish and the doneness desired.
• Transfer the steaks to a warm platter. Leave the cooking butter in the skillet. Add the shallots and the red peppers. Cook, stirring, until wilted.
• Add the wine, reduce by half, add the cream and cook, stirring over medium high heat until reduced again by half. Check the seasoning.
• Add the salmon steaks, the chopped dill and any juices that have accumulated around the steaks, and bring to a simmer. Cook one minute. Do not overcook. Serve immediately with the dill for decoration.

Steps:

• Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place salmon in the skillet, and season with garlic, lemon pepper and salt. Pour 1/4 cup water around salmon. Place tomatoes and cilantro in the skillet. Cover, and cook 15 minutes, or until fish is easily flaked with a fork.
• Bring 2 cups water to boil in a pot. Remove form heat, and mix in couscous. Cover, and let sit 5 minutes. Serve the cooked salmon over couscous, and drizzle with sauce from skillet.

• Place salmon fillets, red and yellow bell peppers, and onion on the prepared sheet pan.
• Combine lemon juice, 3 tablespoons olive oil, water, maple syrup, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, cumin, and parsley in a small bowl. Drizzle 2/3 of the sauce over the ingredients on the sheet pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Serve with lemon slices and remaining sauce.

Steps:

• In a sealable plastic bag combine well the soy sauce, the garlic, the lemon juice, and the sugar, add the salmon, coating it well, and let it marinate, sealed and chilled, for 30 minutes.
• Remove the salmon from the bag, discarding the marinade, pat it dry, and press 2 teaspoons of the pepper onto each piece of salmon, coating it thoroughly.
• In a heavy skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the salmon for 2 minutes on each side, or until it just flakes.
• Transfer the salmon with a slotted spatula to paper towels and let it drain for 30 seconds.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220C or 200C fan forced.
• Cook potatoes in boiling water for 15 to 20 minutes until just cooked and drain and cool for 5 minutes.
