Salmon Macaroni Slaw Recipes

SALMON TACOS

Steps:

• Prepare the slaw: In a mixing bowl, mash the avocado, Greek yogurt, and olive oil together until mostly smooth.
• Stir in the salt, lime zest and juice, and hot sauce.
• Stir in the slaw and cilantro. Taste and adjust hot sauce and salt as desired. Cover with plastic, pressing the plastic against the top of the mixture to deter the avocado from browning, and refrigerate until ready to serve. (The slaw can sit for several hours and will taste better if it rests for at least 1 hour; if you don't have time, the resting while you prep the salmon will still give you good results.)
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking dish or rimmed baking sheet large enough to hold the salmon with parchment paper or foil. Place the salmon in the center and pat dry. Brush the top of the salmon with the oil.
• In a small bowl, stir together the chipotle powder, garlic powder, lime zest, and salt.
• With a small spoon, sprinkle it evenly over the top of the salmon. (Reserve the zested lime for serving).
• Transfer the dish to the oven and bake the salmon for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish (a 1-inch fillet will take around 12 minutes), until the salmon is just cooked through and reaches 140 to 145 degrees F on an instant read thermometer (fish is done at 145; once mine hits 140, I remove it to a plate, cover it, and let it rest for several minutes; the carryover cooking will finish the rest).
• Cut the zested lime in half or into quarters and squeeze the juice over the top of the salmon. To serve, pile the salmon and slaw into the warmed tortillas. Top with cheese. Enjoy warm, with a dash of extra hot sauce as desired.

SALMON-MACARONI SLAW

Steps:

• Cook macaroni as directed on package.
• Mix macaroni, salmon, cabbage, celery, green pepper and onion.
• Mix salt, pepper, oil and vinegar; pour over macaroni mixture and toss.
• Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.

CREAMY SALMON MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
• Place salmon in a 2-quart baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Cook salmon in the oven for 10 to 11 minutes. Salmon will only be partially cooked; it will continue cooking later. Leave the oven on.
• While salmon cooks, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add macaroni noodles and cook to al dente, 10 to 11 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• While noodles cook, place a large pan on the stove over medium-high heat and add butter, stirring occasionally as it melts. If the butter is browning, reduce heat. You want the butter just to melt, but not to start browning.
• Whisk flour into the melted butter. If it gets a little lumpy, just keep whisking until you have a smooth and creamy roux base. Cook the flour mixture for at least 1 minute, whisking regularly, and adjusting the heat if needed.
• Begin whisking milk and half-and-half into the roux, start with about half of the liquid. Whisk until well incorporated and smooth, then continue whisking in remaining milk and half-and-half until everything is well blended into the roux. Increase heat until mixture begins to bubble and thickens, then reduce heat and stir in the cheeses (reserve about 1/2 cup of grated cheese for the top). Whisk until smooth, thick, and creamy. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Stir the drained macaroni noodles into the cheese sauce; break the par-cooked salmon up into large chunks and add that to the pan as well. Stir gently to evenly distribute the salmon and coat all of the noodles in the sauce. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with reserved grated cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes.

PAN-ROASTED SALMON WITH GRAPEFRUIT-CABBAGE SLAW

Steps:

• Combine the grapefruit juice and shallot in a small bowl; set aside.
• Score the skin side of the salmon and season all over with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium- high heat. Place the salmon skin side down in the skillet. Cook until the skin is browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Flip the fillets, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the fish is barely opaque at the center of each fillet, about 4 more minutes. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the grapefruit juice-shallot mixture, yogurt, and remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the grapefruit segments, avocado, and cabbage and toss gently to combine; season with salt and pepper. Top the slaw with cilantro and serve alongside the salmon.
