ROASTED SALMON WITH ASPARAGUS, LEMON AND BROWN BUTTER



Roasted Salmon With Asparagus, Lemon and Brown Butter image

Ready in just 15 minutes, this fast dinner combines silky salmon with a vibrant green medley of asparagus and peas. While the fish roasts, the vegetables and sauce come together in one pan on the stovetop. Thinly slicing the asparagus is the trick to maintaining a crisp texture that complements the tender salmon, while bright lemon juice and zingy capers balance the nutty brown butter sauce. Parsley is used here to finish, but dill or tarragon would also be lovely. Leftover vegetables make a fantastic omelet filling the next day.

Categories     seafood, vegetables, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper
1 pound asparagus, tough stems trimmed, stalks sliced 1/4-inch-thick on a slight bias (leave tips whole)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus wedges for serving
2 tablespoons drained capers
1/2 cup thawed frozen peas
1/4 cup coarsely chopped parsley, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Rub salmon all over with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange skin side-down on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until medium, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • While the salmon roasts, prepare the asparagus: In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add asparagus, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer asparagus to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add butter to skillet. Cook, stirring, until foam subsides and butter is deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. (Be careful not to burn). Turn off heat and stir in lemon juice, capers, peas, parsley and cooked asparagus. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide vegetables among plates. Top with salmon and spoon over any remaining pan sauce. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus. Look for asparagus spears that are firm and green, with tight tips. Avoid spears that are wilted, limp, or have woody ends.
  • Prepare the asparagus properly. Trim the woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can also peel the asparagus spears if desired, but this is not necessary.
  • Cook the asparagus evenly. Cook the asparagus in a single layer in a baking dish or on a grill. This will help the asparagus cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the asparagus. Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Make the balsamic butter sauce ahead of time. The balsamic butter sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance. Store the sauce in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it.

Conclusion:

Baked asparagus with balsamic butter sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. It is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The asparagus is tender-crisp and flavorful, and the balsamic butter sauce is rich and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
