Slow Roasted Salmon With Cabbage Bacon Dill Recipes

SLOW ROASTED SALMON AND POTATOES RECIPE

Steps:

• If you're making the potatoes, start by heating the oven to 450 degrees F. If not, skip to step 5.
• Put the halved potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Season with kosher salt, black pepper, 1 teaspoon fresh thyme and 1 teaspoon dry rosemary. Add 2 teaspoons minced garlic and 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil. Toss to make sure the potatoes are well coated.
• Arrange the potatoes, cut side down, on a sheetpan or baking dish. Roast in the heated oven for about 25 minutes.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven and push the potatoes to one side of your pan to make room for the salmon.
• Turn the oven heat down to 250 degrees F. Wait for the heat to lower to this point.
• Brush the bottom of the sheet pan where you made room for the salmon with a bit of extra virgin olive oil. Season the salmon with kosher salt on both sides and put it in the pan next to the potatoes.
• Drizzle about 3 to 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil over the salmon fillet. Spread the remaining fresh garlic on top (I use the back of a spoon to spread the garlic evenly all over the fish fillet). Sprinkle the remaining rosemary and fresh thyme.
• Roast the salmon in the 250 degree F heated oven for 15-18 minutes for medium rare, or up to 25 minutes for medium, depending on thickness of fish (insert a fork in the thickest part of the salmon, it should meet no resistance and should flake easily). To be sure, insert an instant read thermometer in the thickest part of the fish, it is ready when the internal temperature registers 125 degrees F for a medium-cooked salmon.
• Squeeze some fresh lemon juice on top of the salmon. Serve immediately.

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.
• You should have approximately 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) fat; if you have more, discard the excess.
• Add the onion and sauté for 1 minute.
• Add the cabbage and water and let simmer uncovered until the cabbage is tender, about 15 minutes.
• If all the water evaporates during cooking, add more as needed until the cabbage is very tender.
• 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.

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.

ROASTED DILL SALMON

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees with the rack in the center position. Choose a baking sheet or baking dish that fits the salmon snugly (so the juices don't disperse and burn) and line it with parchment paper. Place the salmon skin-side down on the baking sheet and season well with salt and pepper.
• Combine the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl and spoon over the salmon. If you have time, flip the salmon and let marinate directly on the baking sheet, flesh-side down, for 15 minutes.
• Roast the salmon skin-side down until cooked through to your liking, 9 to 12 minutes. Serve with extra lime or orange wedges, and drizzle the pan juices over the salmon and rice.
