Chive Baked Salmon Recipes

BAKED SALMON WITH HONEY MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a nonstick silicone liner, and lay the salmon, skin side down, on top. Set aside.
• Combine the mayonnaise, mustard, honey and chives in a medium bowl and stir to thoroughly combine. Reserve half of the sauce. Spoon the remaining sauce over the fish, spreading it evenly all over the top and sides of each fillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Roast just until the fish is opaque in the center, 7 minutes. Increase the oven to broil. Broil the fish for 6 to 7 minutes, but keep your eye on it to avoid overcooking. Garnish with chives and serve with the reserved sauce.

EASY BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Arrange rack, preheat the oven, and prepare the baking sheet: Place the rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large-rimmed baking sheet with foil, being sure to leave several inches of overhang on both long ends to make your foil packet.
• Prepare the salmon: While the oven preheats, remove the salmon from the fridge to come to temperature, 15-20 minutes. Place the salmon on the prepared pan and pat both sides dry with a paper towel. Feel the flesh for any bones and remove them with fish tweezers or your fingers.
• Season the salmon: Season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper.
• Make the butter sauce and pour over salmon: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic, honey, and lemon juice. Fold up the edges of the foil to contain the liquid and pour the butter mixture evenly over the top of the salmon.
• Seal the salmon with foil: Bring the two long sides of the foil together and then fold them down a few times to close the top of your packet. Then, tuck each end under to close the sides. If your piece of foil is not large enough, take a second sheet of foil and cover the salmon, pinching the foil to seal the edges.
• Bake the salmon: If you're cooking farm-raised salmon, it should be done in 18-20 minutes, depending on the thickness. If you're using wild-caught salmon, check for doneness beginning at 10 minutes. If you open the packet and see the fish isn't finished cooking, it should be opaque on top and flake easily with a fork, close the foil packet back up, return it to the oven, and check again in another 2-3 minutes.
• Broil the salmon: Carefully open the foil package to uncover the salmon completely, pushing the foil down and out of the way. Set the oven to broil on high. If you have an electric stove, return the salmon to the oven, still on the middle rack. Broil the salmon for 2-3 minutes. You'll see it turn just slightly golden with some charred spots but be sure not to burn the garlic. If you have a gas stove, you may want to reduce your broiling time to 1 minute or skip it all together.
• Serve: Let the salmon rest for about 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped herbs. Transfer to a serving platter or serve directly from the pan!

CHIVE BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Place salmon in a shallow, greased baking dish.
• Combine cream cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms, chives, parsley, salt and pepper.
• Top salmon with cream cheese mixture and bake uncovered 12-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.
• Garnish and serve.

SALMON WITH CHIVE MUSTARD BUTTER

Steps:

• In a medium size bowl, combine the mustard, orange zest, 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice, salt, pepper, butter, and 3 tablespoons of chives; mix well to blend.
• Preheat oven to 425.
• In a lightly buttered baking dish, place the fillets skin side down. Brush each fillet with the remaining lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Spread about 2-2 1/2 tablespoons of butter mixture over each fillet to coat evenly.
• Bake for about 12 minutes or until done. To check for doneness, insert a thin-bladed knife into the thickest part of the fillet. The flesh should flake and separate easily and there should be no trace of translucence. The fish should be opaque and flaky. Transfer the fish to a warm platter and brush any remaining mustard chive butter over the fish while it is hot. Sprinkle with the remaining chives to garnish. Cut each fillet in half to serve.
• Cooking Times For Fish: As a rule of thumb, you can expect fish to take about 12 minutes per inch to cook through in a preheated 425 oven.
