Skinny Salmon With Marjoram Dijon Tomatoes Recipes

MEDITERRANEAN BAKED DIJON SALMON RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the salmon skin side down on the baking sheet.
• In a small bowl, mix dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, dill, garlic and capers.
• Slather the salmon with the dijon mixture using a silicon brush. Top with a few lemon slices if desired.
• Bake dijon salmon in the oven for 18-23 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish. The salmon is ready once it's light in color and flakes easily with a fork.

CREAMY DIJON SALMON

Steps:

• Pat salmon dry with paper towel. Season salmon all over with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika.
• Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Sear flesh-side down first (skin-side up), for 5 minutes or until cooked halfway up. Flip and cook for a further 3-4 minutes or until cooked to your liking. (Cook in batches of two if needed to avoid overcrowding your pan.)
• Once cooked, remove salmon from the pan and set aside. KEEP all of the flavourful juices in the pan.
• Return pan to medium-high heat and melt the butter in the juices. Sauté garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds), then pour in the stock. Allow liquid to reduce to half while scraping browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Reduce heat to low-medium heat. Whisk in the Dijon mustard, cream and parsley. Add the asparagus and bring to a gentle simmer, while stirring occasionally, until asparagus is cooked and sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
• Add the salmon back into the pan, sprinkle with parsley, taste test sauce and adjust salt and pepper, if needed.
• Serve.

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.

SLOW-BAKED SALMON AND CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, toss together oil, tomatoes, garlic, and 4 basil leaves. Season with salt. Bake until tomatoes are just wilted, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 275 degrees.
• Season salmon with salt and pepper; place, skin-side down, in dish with tomatoes. Spoon pan juices over fish and bake until just cooked through and a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 120 degrees, about 15 minutes. Serve, sprinkled with remaining basil leaves.

DIJON BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix together the mustard, parsley, lemon juice, oil, and garlic in a small bowl.
• Place the salmon on a parchment lined baking tray and generously coat the top of the salmon with the herbed mustard mix.
• Bake the salmon for 18-20 minutes (depending on size and thickness), then slice it into individual portions and serve immediately.

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.

SALMON WITH TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring the rice and water to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 20 minutes.
• Heat the garlic oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon with salt, pepper, dill, and paprika, and cook in the hot oil 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until tender enough to break apart. Break salmon into cubes with a spatula or fork. Mix in the tomatoes, garlic, and lemon juice. Continue cooking until salmon is easily flaked with a fork.
• Mix the parsley, Parmesan cheese, butter, and hot pepper sauce into the skillet, and continue cooking 1 to 2 minutes, until well mixed. Serve over the cooked rice.
