SALMON WITH WHOLE LEMON DRESSING
Roasting salmon low and slow in one large piece means just cooked, perfectly medium-rare salmon every time. In a pinch, this recipe would work with pre-portioned salmon fillets, but make sure they are at least an inch thick, and decrease the cooking time by about 5 to 8 minutes. The lemon dressing here is tangy, floral and, yes, a little bitter (as the whole lemon is involved, pith and all). If that's not your preferred flavor profile, feel free to only use the zest and juice.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a small bowl, combine finely chopped lemon, shallot, oregano and vinegar for the dressing. Season with salt and pepper, and add 1/4 cup olive oil. Set aside.
- Season salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. Place skin-side down in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish (or other 2-quart equivalent). Spoon half the lemon dressing over the salmon, and place in the oven until salmon is just cooked through but still a nice orange-pink in the thickest parts for more of a medium-rare salmon, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet.
- Meanwhile, scatter lettuces onto a large serving platter. Once salmon is out of the oven, use a spoon or spatula to transfer it to the serving platter with the lettuces, leaving behind the skin. Spoon remaining lemon dressing over the salmon and lettuces. Serve alongside cucumbers or radishes, or both, for crunch.
CRISPY-SKINNED SALMON WITH WHOLE LEMON-SESAME SAUCE
Adding an entire lemon-skin, pith, and flesh-to the sauce provides brightness and texture. Any bitterness from the pith will be offset by the sesame oil and honey. That balance makes it a super versatile condiment that pairs well with grilled or roasted vegetables and is great as a topping for stews and braises come winter.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium heat. Rub salmon with 2 Tbsp. olive oil; season both sides with kosher salt.
- Cut ends off lemon and discard. Set lemon upright on a cutting board and slice off 4 lobes, working around the core (the seeds will be left behind). Finely chop lobes (flesh, pith, and all) and transfer to a small bowl; you should have about 1/3 cup. Squeeze juice from core into bowl; discard core. Add shallot, sesame seeds, honey, sesame oil, and 1/3 cup olive oil; season with kosher salt and lots of pepper. Toss to combine.
- Clean and oil grate, then immediately place salmon on grill, skin side down. Cover and grill, without turning, until skin is lightly charred and flesh is opaque all the way through, 6-8 minutes. Transfer salmon to shallow bowls or plates; let cool slightly. Spoon sauce over salmon. Top with basil; sprinkle with sea salt.
ORANGE SESAME GLAZED SALMON W/ EXTRA CRISPY SKIN
I love crispy skins, but my hubby does not so I always take his. :)) Here are some tools you'll need if you want to achieve that yummy crispy skin: foil, a baking sheet, and a non-coated cooling rack or a toaster oven rack that will elevate the fish from bottom of the cookie sheet...yes you could use a broiling pan, but those things are a pain to clean and you wouldn't get such yummy extra crispy skins :) I choose to broil mine but this will work well on the grill too. Just be sure to brush the hot grill rack with olive oil so the skin does not stick.

Steps:
- In a small bowl mix together all marinade ingredients. Be sure to reserving 1/2 cup of the water to use during the cooking process. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to broil with oven rack placed in the upper center position. Prepare a baking sheet by layering 2 strips of foil to cover the bottom of pan, then place an non-coated cooling rack over that.
- Brush skin side of salmon with olive oil (this will help to insure skin doesn't stick and become extra crispy), place fillets about 1-2 inches apart on the cooling rack in the center of backing sheet. Reserve half of marinade for glazing. Brush tops and sides of the salmon fillets with marinade. Let sit for 5-6 minutes.
- Broil, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes (or until fish flakes easily with a fork). Because you're broiling, it will cook quickly. Glaze OFTEN with reserved marinade to get a super sweet and sticky coating. Pour reserved water in bottom of pan half way through cooking time (helps finish cooking the fish and also keeps it moist and flaky).
- I like to serve mine with ginger lime shrimp and a roasted veggie like asparagus :).

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillet: Look for a fillet that is about 1 inch thick and has a firm texture. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a mushy texture.
- Score the skin: Scoring the skin of the salmon helps the heat penetrate evenly and prevents the skin from curling up. To score the skin, use a sharp knife to make shallow diagonal cuts across the skin, about 1/4 inch apart.
- Season the salmon: Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil or melted butter to help keep the salmon moist.
- Cook the salmon skin-side down: Place the salmon fillet in a hot skillet, skin-side down. Cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes, or until the skin is crispy. Then, flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
- Make the sesame sauce: While the salmon is cooking, make the sesame sauce. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and ginger. Set the sauce aside.
- Serve the salmon with the sesame sauce: Once the salmon is cooked, serve it immediately with the sesame sauce. You can also garnish the salmon with chopped green onions or cilantro.
Conclusion:
This crispy-skinned salmon with whole lemon sesame sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked to perfection, with a crispy skin and a tender, flaky interior. The sesame sauce is tangy and flavorful, and it complements the salmon perfectly.
