Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup parsley leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 pounds skin-on salmon fillet, preferably center-cut
1 tablespoon Dijon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl. Mix the panko with the parsley, butter, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper in another small bowl.
  • Place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and spread the surface with the Dijon. Press the brown sugar mixture all over the salmon then top with the breadcrumb mixture. Crimp all four sides of the foil to create a border around the salmon, this will help collect the juices so they don't spread and burn. Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown, and the salmon is firm and flakes easily when pressed, 15 to 18 minutes. Cut into four equal portions for serving.

PANKO-CRUSTED SALMON

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2/3 cup panko (Japanese dried bread flakes)
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons good olive oil
Four 6- to 8-ounce salmon fillets, skin on
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the panko, parsley, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil and stir until the crumbs are evenly coated. Set aside.
  • Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, on a board. Generously brush the top of the fillets with mustard and then sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Press the panko mixture thickly on top of the mustard on each salmon fillet. The mustard will help the panko adhere.
  • Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or large heavy, ovenproof pan. When the oil is very hot, add the salmon fillets, skin side down, and sear for 3 to 4 minutes, without turning, to brown the skin.
  • Transfer the pan to the hot oven for 5 to 7 minutes until the salmon is almost cooked and the panko is browned. Remove from the oven, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve the salmon hot or at room temperature with lemon wedges.

SLOW-BAKED SALMON WITH LEMON AND THYME



Slow-Baked Salmon with Lemon and Thyme image

Cola Nut Salmon Recipe image

Provided by á-6072

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 Salmon Fillets (with or without skin)
1 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil
1/2 c. Pecans (chopped)
1 (12 oz.) can Cola (not diet)
1 Tbsp. Tabasco Sauce
1 Tbsp. Butter
Mesquite Chips

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium heat using mesquite chips. Rinse salmon and pat dry. Brush with oil. If using skin-on fillets, cut 1" diagonal slits into the skin; set aside.

Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until cola is reduced by half and has the consistency of syrup. Stir in the Tabasco sauce, butter and pecans. Keep warm over low heat. Grill salmon fillets, starting with the side without skin, for about 4 minutes. Carefully turn salmon over and grill for about 3 minutes, or until fish is opaque and firm to the touch; remove from grill. To serve, spoon sauce over salmon.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh salmon fillets that are about 1 inch thick.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the salmon in a skillet over medium heat.
  • To make sure the salmon is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
