Salmon With Herb Sauce Recipes

SLOW-ROASTED SALMON WITH HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare the salmon for roasting: Preheat oven to 225 degrees F. Remove the salmon skin by cutting a flap of skin from the tail end. Hold the skin with a kitchen towel for a good grip, then hold the knife at a 30-degree angle downward to the cutting board between the skin and the flesh. Move the towel back and forth so the knife cuts through the salmon without cutting off much of the flesh. Using tweezers or needle-nose pliers, pull out any small bones left in the salmon, then cut fillet into 4 even slices at an angle. Place salmon fillets into a shallow roasting pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt. Rub the fish with the oil to evenly coat, then place on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes, checking after 10 minutes. Note: If the fish is cold from the refrigerator, let it come to room temp, about 30 minutes, before baking.
• Make the beurre blanc sauce and prepare the herbs: In a medium saucepan, add the shallot, white wine, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until liquid has reduced by half. While the liquid is reducing, chop the herbs. Any combination of herbs will work as long as they're chopped roughly (not finely), to preserve their character and flavor. Once the liquid has reduced, whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, to thicken the sauce.
• Finish the sauce and assemble the dish: Salmon is cooked when it's flaking apart gently and no longer raw in the middle. Set aside. Finish the sauce by pouring it into a blender to break up the shallots and create a better emulsion with the butter. Pour back into the pan over low heat and add the herbs. Place a salmon fillet on a serving plate, ladle herb sauce on top. Garnish with the additional fresh herbs and serve.

SPICE-RUBBED SALMON WITH HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the salmon: Pulse the coriander and fennel seeds in a spice grinder until coarsely ground. Transfer all but 1 teaspoon of the spice mixture to a small bowl and stir in the sugar and 2 teaspoons salt (reserve the remaining 1 teaspoon spice mixture for the sauce).
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place the salmon skin-side down on the foil. Rub the salmon with the olive oil, then sprinkle with the sugar-spice mixture. Refrigerate, uncovered, 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the herb sauce: Puree the parsley, chervil, chives, lemon zest and juice and the reserved 1 teaspoon spice mixture in a blender until a coarse paste forms. With the machine running, gradually add the olive oil and 1/4 cup cold water and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the broiler. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels. Broil the salmon until the top is browned and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 110˚, 9 to 11 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes on the pan. Transfer the salmon to a serving platter with 2 large spatulas, removing the skin. Serve with the herb sauce.

Cook 8 to 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork, turning once and brushing occasionally with any remaining oil mixture. If necessary, reheat butter sauce over very low heat, stirring constantly. Serve salmon with butter sauce.

• Add the olive oil, Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the salmon, red onion, and lemon quarters to the bowl and gently toss to coat.
• To assemble the kebabs, thread a few pieces of red onion onto an 8-inch-long metal skewer (see Cook's Note). Next, add a piece of salmon, followed by a quarter of lemon. Continue threading the ingredients onto the skewer until you have 4 pieces of salmon on the skewer. Set the finished kebab aside and continue the process with the remaining skewers and ingredients.
• Generously oil the grates of the preheated grill. Add the salmon kebabs to the grill and cook, turning halfway through, until nice grill marks have formed, and the salmon easily releases from the grill, 4 to 6 minutes. (This can alternatively be done on an indoor grill pan.)
