Categories     Healthy Grilled Salmon Recipes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (5 ounce) fresh or frozen skinless salmon fillets, about 1 inch thick
½ teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
1 small clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon olive oil
6 ounces fresh kale, torn (discard stems)
½ teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
Dash salt
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Set aside. In a small bowl, stir together thyme, garlic powder, 1/8 teaspoon salt and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle tops of fillets evenly with seasoning mixture.
  • For a charcoal grill, place fish on the greased grill rack directly over medium coals. If desired, cover grill grate with foil before placing fish. Grill, uncovered, for 8 to 12 minutes or until fish begins to flake when tested with a fork, turning fish once halfway through grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place fish on a greased grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as directed.) Cover fish to keep warm.
  • In a Dutch oven, cook the shallot and garlic in hot oil over medium heat for 2 to 4 minutes or until tender. Add kale and lemon peel. Cover and cook for 2 minutes. Uncover and cook for 6 to 8 minutes more or just until kale begins to wilt, turning with long-handled tongs to cook. Sprinkle with the dash salt. Serve salmon with kale and lemon wedges.

SHEET-PAN BLACKENED SALMON WITH GARLICKY KALE



Sheet-Pan Blackened Salmon with Garlicky Kale image

From chef Alex Guarnaschelli, this sheet-pan salmon with kale makes a quick, healthy, and seriously delicious weeknight dinner.

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ teaspoon sweet paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
4 (6 to 8-ounce portions) salmon fillets, skin on
1 bunch Tuscan kale (about 8 ounces), stems removed, leaves torn into bite-sized pieces
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon honey
Grated zest and juice of 1 lime

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and set an oven rack in the lower-middle position.
  • Prepare the Salmon: In a small bowl, combine the paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, dry mustard, oregano, and ¾ teaspoon salt; stir until evenly mixed and no lumps remain. Use 1 tablespoon of the oil to grease a rimmed sheet pan. Place the salmon filets, skin-side down, on the pan, leaving space between them; drizzle the salmon with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the salmon.
  • Prepare the Kale: In a medium bowl, using tongs, toss the kale with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, the minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Arrange it all around (but not covering) the salmon; it's okay to pile it up a bit, as it will shrink significantly as it roasts.
  • Place the pan on the lower-middle rack and roast for 12 to 14 minutes for medium-cooked salmon. (If you prefer your salmon medium-rare, cook 10 to 12 minutes. For well-done, cook 15 to 17 minutes.) Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle the honey over the fish. Then sprinkle the lime zest and juice over the fish. Serve immediately.

GRILLED SALMON WITH KALE CHIPS



Grilled Salmon With Kale Chips image

Don't mask salmon, or cook it to bits in a hot oven. Let it shine by grilling it on a bed of kale. The technique gives you quick, crisp chips, and a soft, perfectly cooked piece of fish that won't stick to the grill. Then smother it in herbs: basil, mint, dill, cilantro, even sorrel, if that's what came in your farm box. You can serve this with potatoes, corn, salad or toasted bread, or any simple side you can throw together quickly.

Provided by Sarah Copeland

Categories     seafood, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (1 1/4-pound) piece center-cut salmon
1 medium bunch kale (curly or lacinato)
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 lemon, zested, half cut into wedges and half juiced
1 packed cup roughly chopped mixed herbs, such as parsley, mint, dill, basil, cilantro or sorrel
1 garlic clove, minced or pressed

Steps:

  • Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Toss the kale leaves in 2 tablespoons olive oil, rubbing it into all the leaves. Rub another tablespoon of oil all over the salmon and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
  • Lay the kale in an even layer, leaves overlapping slightly, over the grill pan or grates, avoiding any direct flame. Lay the salmon on top, skin side down, and grill until cooked about halfway through, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the salmon off the kale. Remove the kale chips to a platter, if sufficiently charred. (If not, flip the kale and allow to cook 1 to 2 minutes more.) Continue cooking the salmon until marked and medium in the center, about 4 to 5 minutes more.
  • Move the salmon to a platter. Toss together the herbs, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil just before serving and sprinkle all over the top of the fish and drizzle with more olive oil to finish. Serve kale chips alongside, with lemon wedges for squeezing. (Don't squeeze over the kale in advance, or the kale chips will turn soggy.)

GRILLED SALMON WITH CRUNCHY SWEET MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE



Grilled Salmon with Crunchy Sweet Mustard Vinaigrette image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     Mustard     Quick & Easy     Salmon     Summer     Grill/Barbecue

Yield Serves 4; can be doubled for 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

For the vinaigrette:
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons coarse- or whole-grain Dijon mustard
1 small shallot, finely chopped
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the salmon:
4 (6- to 8-ounce) salmon fillets, 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick, with the skin
Olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Vinaigrette:
  • Whisk the vinegar, mustard, and shallot together in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the honey, then the oil, until the dressing is emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (The vinaigrette can be made a few hours in advance, covered, and kept refrigerated. Bring to room temperature and whisk or shake well before serving.)
  • Salmon:
  • 1. Heat your grill to high.
  • 2. Brush the fish on both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the salmon skin side down until the skin is lightly charred and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the fillets over, reduce the heat to medium or move to a cooler part of the grill, and cook until just cooked through but not falling apart, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • 3. Remove the fish to serving plates or a platter and spoon a few tablespoons of vinaigrette over each fillet. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To ensure your salmon is cooked evenly, use a fish spatula to gently flip it only once during the grilling process.
  • For a crispy skin on your salmon, make sure to pat it dry before grilling and brush it with a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs.
  • To make sure your kale chips are crispy, use a large baking sheet and spread them out in a single layer. Bake them at a high temperature for a short amount of time, keeping a close eye on them to prevent burning.
  • For a flavorful and tangy dressing for your kale chips, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
