Salmon With Potatoes And Red Onions Recipes

SHEET-PAN HARISSA SALMON WITH POTATOES AND CITRUS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Lay salmon on a plate, and season with salt and pepper. In a shallow bowl, whisk together harissa, ginger, garlic, orange zest and juice. Spoon the mixture over the flesh and sides of the fish, and let marinate at room temperature.
• Meanwhile, line a sheet pan with parchment paper (or use a nonstick sheet pan). In a large bowl, toss together the potatoes and onion with the olive oil, and season well with salt and pepper. Arrange them on the sheet pan in 1 layer, leaving 4 spaces for the salmon fillets to be added later. Roast until the potatoes are beginning to brown and are almost cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• Add the salmon to the sheet pan skin-side down, and roast until the fish is opaque and cooked through and the potatoes are crisp, about 8 minutes more. Scatter cilantro and scallions over everything, and season with flaky salt.

SAUTEED SALMON WITH RED ONION MARMALADE

Steps:

• Season the salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Make 2 or 3 slits across the skin of the salmon. Place a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add enough peanut oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Just as the oil begins to smoke add the salmon, skin-side down and cook for 4 minutes. Lower the heat and cook the salmon all the way on the same side, about 10 minutes - it will cook from the bottom up. During the last 30 seconds or so, spoon some of the oil over the top of the salmon to help cook it through.
• While the salmon is cooking, make the sauce. In a stainless steel saute pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon butter and the oil. When the butter is melted, add the onions and cook until translucent but not browned, about 6 minutes, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper. Deglaze with the balsamic vinegar and red wine. Add the thyme and cook until the liquid is almost completely reduced, about 3 minutes. Add the cream and bring to a simmer. Cook until the cream is slightly reduced and starts to thicken, about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Be careful as the cream could boil over at this point. Once the cream is reduced, remove the thyme sprig. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Stir in the remaining butter.
• Spoon the onion marmalade onto plates. Top with the salmon and garnish with chive flowers.

BAKED SALMON WITH RED POTATOES AND SQUASH

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into small bite sized chunks.
• Slice zucchini and yellow squash into 1/4" slices.
• Mince all garlic. Use more or less to your taste.
• Slice lemon in to 8ths.
• Turn oven on to 350 degrees.
• In a big skillet put 3-4 Tbsp of olive oil. Turn heat on medium to medium-high.
• Place the potatoes in the skillet and season to taste with garlic (a little less than half), chili powder (I also use Cayenne pepper), salt, pepper, oregano, basil and thyme.
• Toss in pan or use a spatula so that all the potatoes are evenly covered.
• Season zucchini and squash the same as the potatoes.
• Cook potatoes for 10-15 minutes until ALMOST done. Turn heat to medium-low or medium.
• Add zucchini and squash to potatoes and toss (or turn with spatula).
• Wash salmon fillet and place in large square baking pan 11 X 7 X 2 is good (just know that it has to be big enough for the salmon and all the potatoes and squash).
• Score the salmon length-wise (as if you were going to make 3 strips of fish) about half way through the meat. DO NOT CUT ALL THE WAY THOROUGH.
• In the two pockets you just made in the fish, stuff the minced garlic. Then squeeze 2 or 3 of the lemon slices (juice AND pulp) over the fish, and place two tablespoons of butter (margarine can be used, but will make the fish greasy) over each pocket.
• Sprinkle salmon with chili powder, and pepper.
• After potatoes and squash are done (potatoes are soft) dump the whole skillet over the salmon and put in the oven on the middle rack and bake until the salmon is flakey (about 30 minutes).
