Salmon Steaks With Spicy Tomato Sauce Recipes

20-MINUTE CREAMY TOMATO SALMON SKILLET

Steps:

• Pat salmon dry and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook until the underside is browned and releases easily from the pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the salmon and continue to cook until opaque in the center, another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Meanwhile, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, zucchini and onion to the pan. Cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and add wine. Cook, stirring, until the liquid has mostly evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, cream cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the cream cheese is melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Return the salmon to the pan and turn to coat with the sauce. Serve topped with basil.

SALMON & MELTING CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium (10-inch) saute pan. Add the onion and saute over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until very tender but not browned. Add the garlic and saute for 1 more minute. Stir in the tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid evaporates and the tomato sauce thickens slightly. Off the heat, stir in the vinegar and basil.
• Meanwhile, place a large (12-inch) cast-iron pan over high heat for 5 minutes. Brush the salmon all over with olive oil, sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, and place it skin side up in the pan. Cook the fish for 3 to 4 minutes without moving them, until browned. Turn the salmon skin side down with a small metal spatula and transfer the pan to the oven for 8 minutes. (The salmon will not be completely cooked through.) Remove the fish to a serving platter, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
• Reheat the tomatoes, season to taste, and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature along with the salmon.

GRILLED SALMON WITH TOMATO-GINGER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Grate the tomatoes on the large holes of a box grater into a medium bowl; discard the skins. Stir in 1/3 cup cilantro, the vinegar and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Spread the cauliflower florets on one half of a 24-inch-long piece of foil; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon garam masala and dot with the butter; season with salt and pepper. Fold the foil over the cauliflower and crimp the edges to seal and form a packet. Season the salmon with salt, pepper and the remaining 1 teaspoon garam masala.
• Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill the foil packet on one side of the grill until the packet is puffed and the cauliflower is lightly charred and tender, about 6 minutes per side. Grill the salmon on the other side of the grill until opaque but still pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate. Grill the naan until lightly toasted, about 1 minute per side; cut into wedges.
• Carefully open the foil packet and toss the cauliflower with the remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro. Top the salmon with the tomato-ginger sauce and serve with the cauliflower and naan.

SPICED SALMON & TOMATO TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the onion, tomatoes, 2 tbsp curry paste, the chickpeas and 200ml water together in a deep 20 x 25cm roasting tin. Roast for 15 mins until the onions are tender and the tomatoes are just bursting.
• Stir everything, then season. Brush the remaining curry paste over the salmon fillets and season. Nestle the salmon into the veg in the tin and roast for another 8-10 mins, or until cooked to your liking.
• Meanwhile, warm the naan breads - you can do this by putting them directly on the oven rack below the roasting tin. Cut the warmed naan breads into wedges. Swirl the yogurt into the veg in the tin, then serve with the naan wedges for dunking, a few coriander leaves sprinkled over, if you like, and the lemon wedges, if using, for squeezing over.

SPICY GRILLED SALMON STEAKS WITH BLACK BUTTER

Steps:

• In a bowl stir together the black pepper, the paprika, the cayenne, the garlic, the onion, the thyme, the salt, and the oil until the mixture forms a stiff paste. Pat the paste onto both sides of each salmon steak. Heat an oiled ridged grill pan over moderately high heat until it is smoking and in it sauté the salmon for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through. While the salmon is cooking, in a small skillet cook the butter over moderate heat, swirling the skillet, until it is dark brown, but do not let it burn. Transfer the salmon to heated plates and pour the butter over it.

SALMON PASTA WITH SPICY TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook pasta in boiling water according to the package directions. Drain, reserving pasta water. Toss pasta with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Keep it warm.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions. Cook and stir until softened. Add red pepper flakes, oregano, and salmon. Break up the salmon with a spatula as it cooks. Stir in dill, chopped tomatoes, and wine; bring to a boil. Turn heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add some reserved pasta water if the sauce gets dry.
• Mound the pasta on plates. Make a well in the center of each mound and ladle in the tomato-salmon sauce. Garnish with parsley and Parmesan cheese. Serve warm.
