GRILLED SALMON WITH CITRUS BUTTER



Grilled Salmon with Citrus Butter image

Provided by Patrick and Gina Neely : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Oil, for greasing grill
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 teaspoons lime zest
Four 6-ounce fillets center-cut salmon, skin removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add the softened butter to a mixing bowl and stir until smooth. Add the lemon and lime zest and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Blend all the ingredients until smooth and completely mixed.
  • Place a sheet of plastic wrap out on your workspace. Spread the butter across the plastic wrap and roll into a log, twisting the ends to seal. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill. This will give you a nice clean round of butter to top the fish with. Alternatively, you can leave the butter in a small bowl and dollop the butter on top of the fish once it's grilled.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  • Sprinkle the salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. Oil the grill grates with a clean tea towel. Grill the salmon for 4 minutes, and then flip and cook the second side for another 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Top each fillet with a slice of the citrus butter while the fish is still hot so it melts right over the top.

WILD SALMON WITH GREEN SAUCE



Wild Salmon With Green Sauce image

Wild salmon, green beans, new potatoes and herbs: simple seasonal ingredients for an epic summer dining experience. The most important thing here is not to overcook the salmon. Whether baked or grilled, it is ready as soon as you see white juices rising to the surface, which means the fish will be succulent, not dry. It is better to err on the rare side.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 pounds wild salmon fillet, such as King or sockeye, skin on
Salt and pepper
Olive oil
2 pounds new potatoes
1 pound haricots verts, or a mixture of small green and yellow beans
1 shallot, finely diced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Zest and juice of 1 small Meyer lemon
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and roughly chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1/4 cup finely chopped chervil, or a mixture of parsley and tarragon
Lettuce leaves
2 hard-cooked (9-minute) eggs, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Using pliers, remove pin bones from salmon (or have your fishmonger do it). Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Place on baking sheet skin side down and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Set aside at room temperature. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Scrub potatoes and simmer in well-salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
  • Top and tail the haricots verts and simmer in well-salted water until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Spread out on a platter to cool (or rinse briefly in cool water) and leave at room temperature.
  • Make the sauce verte: Put shallot in a small bowl with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cover with the red wine vinegar. Macerate 5 minutes, then stir in lemon zest and juice, mustard and capers. Whisk in 1/2 cup olive oil. Just before serving, add parsley, chervil and black pepper to taste.
  • Bake salmon, uncovered, until just done, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly. Put beans in a medium bowl, season with salt and pepper, and dress with 2 tablespoons sauce verte. Line a platter with lettuce leaves, if using, then make a pile of beans. With a spatula, lift salmon from skin, then place on top of beans. Dab salmon with 2 more tablespoons sauce verte, garnish with chopped egg and serve. Pass potatoes and remaining sauce separately.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups water
2 cups dry white wine
2 to 4 sprigs tarragon, leaves reserved and coarsely chopped
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 carrot, peeled and sliced
4 five-ounce fresh salmon filets, all skin and bones removed
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil plus, more for greens
4 to 6 cups mixed greens such as endive, lamb's lettuce, and Bibb

Steps:

  • Combine the liquids in a large pot or skillet. Add 2 tarragon stems (leaves reserved), bay leaves, peppercorns, and carrot. Bring to a boil. Cook until flavorful, 15 to 20 minutes. Reduce to a simmer and add the salmon filets. Simmer, covered, for 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the salmon to cool in the bouillon. When completely cold, remove the salmon from the bouillon. Drain on paper towels to dry completely. Cover the fish with plastic wrap, and place in refrigerator to chill for 1 to 2 hours, or until ready to serve.
  • Meanwhile, place the mustard in a small bowl. In a slow, steady stream whisk in the olive oil. Stir in the reserved chopped tarragon. Taste and adjust for seasoning.
  • When ready to serve, place greens in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Arrange greens on 4 plates. Top each with a piece of salmon. Spoon mustard sauce over fish to coat. Garnish with sprigs of tarragon. Serve, passing remaining mustard sauce separately.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and tools you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Choose the Right Salmon: Opt for wild-caught salmon fillets that are fresh and have a vibrant color. If using frozen salmon, thaw it properly before cooking.
  • Properly Season the Salmon: Season the salmon fillets generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
  • Cook the Salmon Perfectly: Cook the salmon fillets until they are opaque throughout and flake easily with a fork. Overcooking can dry out the salmon, so be careful not to overcook it.
  • Make the Citrus Saffron Sauce: Combine citrus juices, saffron, and other ingredients to create a flavorful sauce that complements the salmon well.
  • Prepare the Greens: Choose your preferred greens, such as baby spinach, arugula, or mixed greens. Wash and dry the greens thoroughly before using.
  • Assemble the Dish: Place the cooked salmon fillets on a bed of greens and drizzle with the citrus saffron sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs or citrus zest for added flavor and visual appeal.
