Number Of Ingredients 10

1.5 pounds wild salmon filet
2 oranges, blood oranges, mandarins, and/or grapefruits (can use a combo or not, very thinly sliced)
2 lemons/Meyer lemons/limes (can use a combo or not, very thinly sliced)
1 ½ cups olive oil
3 garlic cloves (thinly sliced)
1/2 red onion (thinly sliced into rings)
1 cup fresh herbs (such as parsley, dill, tarragon, oregano and/or cilantro)
handfull fresh herb sprigs (can use any of the herbs above)

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Dry salmon with a paper town, season both sides with salt and pepper and place on a large baking dish.
  • Decorate salmon with citrus slices, onion rings, sliced garlic, herb sprig and half of the fresh herbs. I have way too much fun with this part and hope you do too.

SALT-BAKED SALMON WITH CITRUS AND HERBS

Categories     Christmas     Dinner     Salmon     Bon Appétit     Sugar Conscious     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield 8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

Salmon:
1 5-6 pound head-and tail-on salmon or arctic char, cleaned
10 cups kosher salt (from about one 48-ounce box), plus more
1 grapefruit, thinly sliced
2 lemons, thinly sliced
1/2 bunch dill
1/2 bunch tarragon
Beurre Blanc and assembly:
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons crème fraîche
1 teaspoon finely grated grapefruit zest
1 teaspoon fresh grapefruit juice
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, divided
Kosher salt
1 cup fresh parsley leaves with tender stems
1/3 cup fresh dill leaves
1/3 cup fresh tarragon leaves
2 tablespoons chopped capers
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
Sourcing info:
Salmon will be closer to 5 pounds; arctic char closer to 6 pounds. Not all shops will have whole fish this large on hand; call ahead so they can order it.

Steps:

  • Salmon:
  • Place a rack in the center of oven and preheat to 400°. Season inside of salmon with salt. Stuff with one-third of grapefruit slices, lemon slices, dill sprigs, and tarragon sprigs.
  • Mix 10 cups salt and 1 1/2 cups water in a large bowl, adding more water as needed, until mixture is the texture of wet sand. Spread a thin layer of salt mixture on a rimmed baking sheet roughly the same shape and size as fish.
  • Top salt mixture with another third of grapefruit and lemon slices and dill and tarragon sprigs; set salmon on salt bed and top with remaining citrus and herbs. Pack remaining salt mixture over fish, leaving head and tail peeking out.
  • Roast salmon until just cooked through (poke a paring knife or metal skewer though the salt and into the flesh; it should feel warm to the touch when removed), 40-50 minutes.
  • Beurre Blanc and assembly:
  • While salmon is cooking, simmer shallot and wine in a small saucepan until only 2 tablespoons liquid remains, 8-10 minutes. Whisking constantly, add butter a piece at a time, incorporating completely before adding the next piece, to make a glossy, emulsified sauce.
  • Whisk crème fraîche, grapefruit zest, grapefruit juice, lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice into sauce; season with salt. Reduce heat to low and keep sauce warm while you finish the dish.
  • Remove salmon from oven and using a knife or the edge of a fish spatula, crack salt crust and remove (it should come off in large pieces); let salmon sit 5 minutes before serving.
  • Meanwhile, toss parsley, dill, tarragon, capers, caraway seeds, and remaining 2 teaspoons lemon juice in a medium bowl; season herb salad with salt. Serve salmon with beurre blanc and herb salad.

SLOW-ROASTED CITRUS SALMON WITH HERB SALAD



Slow-Roasted Citrus Salmon With Herb Salad image

This is truly the best way to cook salmon. Slowly roasting an already fatty fish in an even more luxurious fat (here, olive oil) makes it nearly impossible to overcook. Plus, you can flavor that oil with whatever you fancy - spices, herbs, citrus, chiles - which, in turn, will flavor the fish. It's a very simple method for cooking any large piece of fish (cod or halibut work well here, too). This makes it the ideal dinner party trick, sitting perfectly in the center of a Venn diagram where "looks impressive" and "not a ton of work" overlap. It also doubles beautifully. Store any leftover salmon in the remaining oil, which will keep it from drying out, and use it to elevate a salad or a bagel with cream cheese.

CITRUS BAKED SALMON



Citrus Baked Salmon image

This is great on grill, but works equally well in the oven. If you can't find the garlic butter, you can always make your own by combining garlic powder with butter or margarine. I use one large salmon filet, which is usually between 2-3 lbs. The salmon filet and the Tones Citrus Grill can be found at Sam's Club.

CITRUSY ROASTED SALMON AND POTATOES



Citrusy Roasted Salmon and Potatoes image

Citrus-dressed salmon roasted over potatoes is a quick, flavorful one-pan meal that is perfect for any night of the week. Skin-on Yukon Golds are thinly sliced, fanned out and generously drizzled with a citrus sauce to serve as the base for the meal. The salmon is placed directly on top of the potatoes after they're briefly roasted, the fish is drizzled with more sauce, then everything roasts together until the salmon is tender and the potatoes are perfectly cooked through and irresistibly tangy. Feel free to swap out the cilantro for any fresh herb you prefer, such as dill or parsley.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup fresh clementine or mandarin juice, plus 1 clementine or mandarin, sliced into ¼-inch-thick rounds, for garnish
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves and tender stems
1 shallot, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, finely grated
2 large Yukon Gold potatoes (about 1 pound)
Kosher salt and black pepper
Red-pepper flakes, to taste
1 1/2 pounds skin-on salmon fillet (preferably 1 single center-cut piece)

Steps:

  • Set a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, clementine or mandarin juice, lime juice, cilantro, shallot and garlic; set aside citrus sauce.
  • Scrub the potatoes and slice them into ¼-inch-thick rounds. In a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet (or similar oven-safe pan), fan out the potato rounds, overlapping them a little, to cover the surface of the skillet. Season well with salt (about 1 to 1½ teaspoons) and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle on a few red-pepper flakes. Stir the oil and citrus juice mixture to combine again, and spoon half of the sauce over the potatoes. Place the skillet in the oven and roast for 20 minutes, until the edges start to turn golden.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven, season the salmon well with salt (about 1½ teaspoons) and pepper to taste and place the salmon on top of the potatoes, skin side down. Sprinkle with a few more red-pepper flakes. Spoon the rest of the citrus sauce over the salmon and top the fish with the citrus slices. Place the skillet back in the oven and roast until the salmon is cooked through to your liking, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest salmon you can find. Fresh salmon will have a bright pink color and a firm texture. Avoid salmon that is dull or flaky.
  • Prep your salmon properly. Before cooking, rinse the salmon under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. This will help to remove any excess moisture and ensure that the salmon cooks evenly.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices. The herbs and spices you use will greatly affect the flavor of your salmon. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorites. Some popular choices include lemon, dill, rosemary, thyme, garlic, and paprika.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. Aim for a medium-rare or medium doneness, when the salmon is still slightly pink in the center.
  • Let the salmon rest before serving. Once the salmon is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the fish, resulting in a more flavorful and moist salmon.

Conclusion:

Citrus-herb baked salmon is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile fish. The bright flavors of the citrus and herbs complement the rich flavor of the salmon, and the baking method ensures that the salmon is cooked perfectly. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner, citrus-herb baked salmon is sure to please everyone at the table.
