Citrus Roasted Salmon Recipes

CITRUSY ROASTED SALMON AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Set a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 425 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, clementine or mandarin juice, lime juice, cilantro, shallot and garlic; set aside citrus sauce.
• Scrub the potatoes and slice them into ¼-inch-thick rounds. In a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet (or similar oven-safe pan), fan out the potato rounds, overlapping them a little, to cover the surface of the skillet. Season well with salt (about 1 to 1½ teaspoons) and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle on a few red-pepper flakes. Stir the oil and citrus juice mixture to combine again, and spoon half of the sauce over the potatoes. Place the skillet in the oven and roast for 20 minutes, until the edges start to turn golden.
• Remove the skillet from the oven, season the salmon well with salt (about 1½ teaspoons) and pepper to taste and place the salmon on top of the potatoes, skin side down. Sprinkle with a few more red-pepper flakes. Spoon the rest of the citrus sauce over the salmon and top the fish with the citrus slices. Place the skillet back in the oven and roast until the salmon is cooked through to your liking, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon.

CITRUS-ROASTED SALMON WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Combined handful of fresh chives dill, oregano and parsley sprigs, roughly chopped plus more for garnish
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet large enough to hold the salmon with parchment. (The parchment will make it easier to transfer the salmon in one piece from the baking sheet to a serving plate.)
• Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the oil on the parchment. Scatter the onions and toss with oil on the pan. Top with half of the citrus slices.
• Place the salmon skin-side down on the onions and citrus. Using a very sharp knife, slice the salmon crosswise 3 to 5 times into serving portions, leaving about 1/4 inch intact at the bottom attached to the skin. This will make it easier to serve the salmon at the table.
• Arrange the remaining citrus slices around the salmon. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over the citrus and salmon, including in between the scored portions. Season with salt and pepper. Top with the handful of herbs, pressing them into the salmon to coat with a little bit of the oil.
• Roast the salmon until barely cooked through, 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon. To check the salmon, poke the center with the tip of a sharp paring knife and twist it. Start checking at 20 minutes, then every few minutes after until the center is just opaque .
• Using the parchment, transfer the salmon, onions, and citrus to a serving platter. Garnish with more fresh herbs.
