Broiled Salmon With Tomato Cream Sauce Recipes

BROILED SALMON

Steps:

• Coat each salmon fillet with the olive oil (just enough to make it shine, not drip) and salt and pepper.
• Preheat grill to medium-high heat and place the salmon skin side up, (even if the skin has been removed) this is VERY important. Then close the lid and allow to cook about 5 to 7 minutes. Check the grill to make sure there are no flame flare-ups and the salmon is cooking evenly, and let cook another 3 to 4 minutes. You are going to let the fish cook about 90 percent on this side. After about 8 to 9 minutes the salmon should turn over easily and allow to finish another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from grill and serve with your favorite side dishes. The entire cooking time should be about 10 to 12 minutes.

BROILED SALMON WITH MUSTARD AND LEMON

Steps:

• Position one oven rack 6 inches from the broiler heat source then heat the broiler. Season the salmon fillets all over with ½ teaspoon salt and a couple of grinds of pepper and place them on an aluminum foil-lined sheet pan, skin side down.
• In a small bowl, whisk the oil and mustard until well mixed. Brush the tops and sides of the salmon with this mustard mixture.
• Broil until the salmon is opaque with a deep brown crust, about 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. (The center of the fillets will be dark pink, if you pierce one with a paring knife and take a look.) If your fillets are thinner, reduce cooking time by 1 to 2 minutes. If you prefer more well-done fish, add 1 or 2 minutes to the cooking time.
• Squeeze a lemon wedge all over the cooked salmon fillets, then serve salmon with more lemon wedges on the side.

BROILED SALMON WITH ONION, TOMATO AND LEMON

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy small saucepan over low heat. Add parsley, garlic and lemon juice and simmer 2 minutes.
• Preheat broiler. Place salmon on large piece of heavy-duty foil; season with salt and pepper. Brush salmon with half of butter mixture. Arrange onion, tomato and lemon slices over. Drizzle remaining butter mixture over. Fold foil over salmon and crimp edges tightly to seal. Place salmon package in broiler pan. Broil 5 inches from heat source until salmon is just cooked through, about 10 minutes.

SALMON WITH TOMATO CREAM

Steps:

• Run your hand lightly over the fish to check for little pin bones. They can be pulled out with a tweezers or small pliers. Rub a heavy nonstick skillet with a little of the butter. Heat to very hot and sear the salmon over the high heat, about 2 minutes on each side, until lightly browned but not cooked through. Remove from the pan to a platter and cover lightly with foil to keep warm.
• Add the remaining butter to the pan, lower the heat to medium and saute the onion and garlic until soft but not brown. Add the wine, stir, and let it cook down briefly. Then stir in the cream. Raise the heat so the liquid concentrates and thickens a bit, then stir in the tomatoes. Cook over high heat another minute or so, just until the tomatoes soften. Then add the chives. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Add the lemon juice.
• Return the salmon and any juices from the platter to the pan. Reheat and baste briefly with the sauce. Then transfer the fish and sauce to a serving platter or to individual dinner plates. Serve at once.
