Salmon With Dill Carrots And Cabbage Recipes

GLAZED SALMON WITH SPICED CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Lightly oil the broiler pan. Toss the carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a bowl, then spread out on one side of the pan. Broil until the carrots begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, the honey, mustard and 1 tablespoon lime juice in a small bowl. Brush the tops and sides of the salmon with the glaze. Put the salmon, skin-side down, on the other side of the broiler pan next to the carrots and season with salt and pepper. Broil until the salmon is golden brown and just cooked through and the carrots are crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon each olive oil and lime juice, the coriander, cumin, cinnamon, mint and almonds in a bowl. Add the carrots and toss to combine; season with salt and pepper. Serve the salmon with the carrots and lime wedges.

ROASTED ATLANTIC SALMON WITH SAVOY CABBAGE

Steps:

• Grind fennel seeds, coriander seeds and peppercorns together and mix with tarragon, dill, orange and lemon zest, kosher salt and sugar. Reserve one tablespoon of this mixture.
• Place each salmon fillet on a piece of plastic wrap, sprinkle each fillet on all but skin side with spice mixture, wrap each tightly, place on plate and refrigerate for four hours.
• About an hour before serving time, melt butter in heavy 3- or 4-quart saucepan. Add onion and 2 tablespoons of stock. Cook over medium heat until onion is tender; then, stir in cardamom. Add cabbage and remaining stock, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring from time to time, until cabbage is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside in warm place. Add more butter if desired.
• Mix yogurt and mustard together, and stir in reserved spice mixture. Set aside at room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Remove fish from plastic wrap, and gently scrape off the spice mixture.
• Heat oil in heavy ovenproof skillet large enough to hold fish. Use two skillets if necessary. Place fish in pan or pans, skin side up, and sear for one minute. Turn fish over and place in oven in pan or pans and roast 4 to 6 minutes. The salmon should be barely done in the center.
• Gently reheat cabbage.
• Remove salmon from pan and remove the skin with sharp knife.
• Spoon mound of cabbage on each of 4 warm dinner plates. Place a salmon fillet on top of cabbage. Spoon a ribbon of sauce on each plate and serve with mashed potatoes.

SLOW-ROASTED SALMON WITH CABBAGE, BACON & DILL

Steps:

• Halve the cabbage lengthwise, cut out the core, then remove the leaves and slice them into 2-1/2-inch squares.
• Preheat the oven to 250°F.
• Place the bacon in a medium sauce pot over medium heat. Render the bacon until cooked but not crispy.

• Meanwhile, place the salmon fillets on a nonstick sheet pan.
• Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over each fillet.
• Season with salt, pepper, and half the dill. Top each fillet with a teaspoon of butter and place in the oven.
• Cook 15 to 18 minutes for medium rare, 21 to 24 minutes for medium (depending on the thickness of the fish), and if you cook it any longer than that, I can't be held responsible.
• When the cabbage is meltingly soft and tender, season with salt, pepper, and the rest of the dill.
• Keep warm while the salmon finishes cooking.
• Remove the salmon from the oven and drizzle with the lemon juice.
• To serve:.
• Divide the cabbage between four dinner plates, top with the salmon fillets, and drizzle a little more olive oil over the fish.
• Season with freshly ground pepper, sprinkled on and around the fish.
• Garnish with additional fresh dill, if desired, and serve.
