Salmon With Bacon And Mushrooms Recipes

BACON-WRAPPED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet liberally with olive oil.
• Place the salmon fillets onto the baking sheet skin-side-down. Sprinkle the fillets with garlic powder, dill, salt, and pepper. Lay the bacon strips over the fillets to cover completely. Do not overlap the bacon strips.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon is no longer translucent in the center, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the oven on to broil and cook until the bacon has crisped, 1 to 2 minutes.

SALMON WITH SAUTéED MUSHROOMS, SHALLOTS AND FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300ºF. Cover a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil the foil. Place the salmon on top. Season with salt and pepper. Fill a roasting pan with boiling water and place it on the oven floor.
• Place the salmon in the oven and bake until the fish flakes and white bubbles of protein appear on the surface, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the fillets. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, cook the mushrooms. Heat a large, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. When the oil is hot (you can feel the heat when you hold your hand above the pan), add the mushrooms and cook, stirring or tossing in the pan, for a few minutes, until they begin to soften and sweat. Add the remaining oil, turn the heat to medium, and add the shallots, garlic, and herbs. Stir together, add 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and cook, stirring often, for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the shallots and garlic have softened and the mixture is fragrant. Add the wine and cook, stirring often and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the wine has just about evaporated. Taste and adjust seasonings. Remove from the heat.
• Serve the salmon with a spoonful of mushrooms on top or on the side.

BROILED SALMON FILLET WITH BACON, WILD MUSHROOMS AND OYSTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Pre-heat broiler. Season the salmon fillet well with salt and pepper. Wrap 3 of the bacon slices, evenly spaced, around the salmon filet. Place fillet on roasting pan, and place under broiler. Cook until just done (about 10 minutes).
• Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Cut the remaining two slices of bacon into small squares. Place in a heavy saute pan over high heat. Cook until medium-brown, about 2 minutes. Spill out all but 1 teaspoon of the bacon fat. Lower heat to medium-high. Add the shiitake mushrooms, stir well, and saute until mushrooms become golden-brown, about 3 minutes. Turn heat down to medium, and stir in garlic and parsley. Cook for one minute. In a bowl, combine the oyster sauce with 1/4 cup of hot water. Blend, and add to saute pan. Cook one minute over medium heat. Season well with nutmeg.
• To serve, remove the wrapped bacon from the salmon (you may discard the bacon, or use it as a garnish). Delicately slice the salmon along the natural separations, and divide among 4 plates. Top each with a quarter of the sauce, and with a flat parsley leaf for garnish.

BACON WRAPPED SALMON

Steps:

• Start by seasoning your salmon with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with lemon zest.
• Next take bacon and wrap around the salmon fillets. I did 2 pieces of bacon per piece of salmon. Depending on how large or small your salmon fillets are the bacon can be adjusted.
• In a skillet on medium-high heat you will pan sear your bacon salmon for 2-3 minutes. Then flip the fillet over and cook the other side.
• Preheat the oven and once the bacon is done searing cook in the oven broiling on high for 3-4 minutes or until the salmon reaches 145 degrees F.
• Now, you can flip the bacon salmon over half way through cooking in the oven. That will ensure a more even cook on the bacon.
• Once the bacon wrapped salmon is done, you can remove from the oven and brush with the maple syrup if you want. It will add a nice sweetness to the salmon.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Make the vinaigrette: In a small heavy saucepan, bring the wine, currants, shallots, vinegar and brown sugar to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently until the currants are plump and the liquid is reduced to 1/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a small bowl.
• Prepare the vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to coat. Season to taste with salt. Spread on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, heat a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, then add the mushrooms and cook, without stirring, until golden on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Stir the mushrooms and cook until tender and well browned, about 4 minutes more.
• Stir the roasted cauliflower, shallots and garlic into the mushrooms and cook until the shallots soften, about 1 minute. Stir in the sage. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Return the cauliflower mixture to the baking sheet and cover to keep warm. Wipe out the skillet.
• Cook the salmon: Using a sharp knife, score the skin side of the salmon a few times. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then place the salmon skin-side down in the skillet and cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown. Turn the salmon over; transfer the skillet to the oven and roast 3 to 5 minutes, or until the salmon is mostly opaque with a rosy center when flaked in the thickest part with the tip of a knife. Meanwhile, uncover the cauliflower mixture and rewarm in the oven if necessary.
