Buffalo Style Salmon Recipes

PAN-FRIED SALMON

Steps:

• Add the lime juice, lime zest, lemon juice, lemon zest, 3 tablespoons olive oil, parsley, cilantro, chives, garlic, shallot, capers, sugar and red pepper flakes into the jar of a blender. Pulse the ingredients until they are roughly chopped and begin to come together. Scrape down the sides with a spatula and continue to blend until smooth. Set aside until ready to use or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week.
• Season the salmon fillets all over with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon, skin-side up, and cook untouched until the edges crisp and turn golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until firm when pressed, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and spoon the salsa verde on top. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Combine the butter, hot sauce, maple syrup, paprika and a pinch of salt in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until the butter melts, about 30 seconds. Whisk to combine.

Add the arugula, celery and carrots and set aside (do not toss). Brush the grill with vegetable oil. Season the salmon with salt. Grill, brushing occasionally with the sauce, until marked and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Toss the salad and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with the salmon and the remaining sauce.
