Bonnies Roasted Sockeye Salmon Recipes

BAKED SOCKEYE SALMON IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place the salmon in a large sheet of aluminum foil on a rimmed baking sheet. Pat the salmon dry with a sheet of paper towel.
• Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley flakes, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Drizzle this over the salmon, trying to cover all parts of the salmon equally. Place the lemon slices on top of the salmon.
• Cinch together the sides of the foil to close the salmon into the foil packet.
• Bake for 10 minutes and then open the foil packet. Broil on high for 2 to 3 minutes, making sure it doesn't burn.
• Remove the salmon from the oven and serve immediately. Top with optional fresh dill.

LEMON HERB BAKED SOCKEYE SALMON RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly brush small rimmed baking pan with olive oil. Place salmon, skin side down, in center of pan.
• In small bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, rosemary and thyme. Evenly spoon over salmon. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to oven and bake 8 minutes.
• Set broiler to HIGH and broil salmon 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F. Serve immediately.

OVEN ROASTED WHOLE SOCKEYE SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• With aluminum foil, line large sheet pan (11.5 by 15-inches) so it completely covers the tray. Leave about 12 to 14 inches of excess foil extended over the tray so you can later wrap the fish. Place the cooling rack on the foiled tray allowing for the fish to be elevated.
• Make sure the salmon is fully rinsed and patted dry. With your hands, rub olive oil around the outside and inside cavity of the salmon. In a small mixing bowl, add the thyme, oregano, garlic, sea salt, and crab boil seasoning. Mix together until incorporated. Rub the inside and outside of the salmon with the herb mixture. Place salmon on the cooling rack and then cover fish completely with the excess aluminum foil. Place into the oven for 15 minutes.
• Check to see if fish is tender by opening the foil and looking inside the cavity. If there is a light pink color, the fish is ready to serve. If not, keep in the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes maximum. Once salmon is a light pink color, remove from the oven, cut open aluminum foil.
• To serve, slide a serving spatula between the meat and the bone of the fish. Scoop out and serve.

BONNIE'S ROASTED SOCKEYE SALMON

Steps:

• Select a cast iron skillet a little larger than the fish. Preheat the oven and the skillet to 450 degrees. Remove the skillet from the oven and lightly coat the bottom of the skillet with bacon grease. Close oven door.
• Moving quickly, brush the top and bottom of the fish with olive oil and season top with kosher salt and coarse ground black pepper.
• Place the skin side down in the hot skillet and put it back in the hot oven. Don't cover. Roast 15 to 18 minutes until a thermometer probe says it is 125 degrees, then it is done. Take it out of the oven (it is still cooking in the skillet!) Serve immediately. The fish should be flaky and moist. I like to serve it with my Potato Loaf and green beans.

SOCKEYE SALMON WITH PRESERVED LEMON BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk olive oil, 1/2 cup chives, 1/4 cup preserved lemon, and Champagne vinegar together in a bowl.
• Lay salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheets. Pour vinaigrette over the top. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until flesh flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 14 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets.
• Bring white wine and shallots to a simmer in a large saucepan. Cook until volume is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter, whisking constantly until melted. Move saucepan on and off the heat so sauce is just hot enough to melt butter, but never simmering.
• Stir 1/2 cup chives and 1/4 cup preserved lemon into the beurre blanc. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer salmon fillets to a large platter. Pour beurre blanc on top. Garnish with parsley.
