Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup panko
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves and tender stems
1 sprig fresh tarragon leaves, plus 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving
Four 6-ounce skinless center-cut salmon fillets (about 1 1/2 inches thick)
1 pound thin asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 cups shelled English peas or thawed frozen peas (about 10 ounces)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 radishes, thinly sliced (about 4 ounces) (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Bring 8 cups of salted water to a boil in a covered large saute pan. Fill a large bowl with ice water and set a mesh strainer on top of the ice.
  • Pulse the panko, parsley, the leaves from 1 sprig fresh tarragon and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a mini food processor until the herbs are coarsely chopped. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of the oil and pulse until the mixture is combined. Transfer to a plate.
  • Combine the brown sugar, mustard, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a small bowl. Brush the tops and sides of the salmon generously with the mustard mixture and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Press a salmon fillet, top-side down, into the panko mixture. Place, panko-side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining fillets and bake until the panko is toasted and the salmon is just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the asparagus and peas in the saute pan of boiling water and cook until almost crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to the prepared ice bath with a slotted spoon and let cool, about 1 minute.
  • Meanwhile, heat a second large saute pan over medium-high heat and add the butter, swirling, until melted. Drain the cooled vegetables and add to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the radishes, the remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 2 tablespoons tarragon. Toss to combine, taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve the salmon with the asparagus salad and a lemon wedge.

Herb Crusted Salmon With Mixed Greens Salad image

My word, was this good. We made it on Monday and I am still thinking about it. I am trying to eat more salmon, and this recipe, along with the one posted before, are both terrific. I can't say enough good things about this salad, and with all the herbs growing in my garden to use for it...it was wonderful.

Tips:

  • Choose the best salmon fillet: Look for a piece of salmon that is about 1 inch thick and has a deep orange color. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a lot of white streaks, as these will be less flavorful and more likely to overcook.
  • Make sure the salmon is cooked through: The best way to check if salmon is cooked through is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If the flesh flakes easily and is opaque all the way through, the salmon is cooked. If the flesh is still translucent or pink in the center, the salmon needs to be cooked for a few minutes longer.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Overcooked salmon is dry and tough. If you're not sure how long to cook the salmon, it's better to err on the side of caution and cook it for a shorter amount of time. You can always cook it for a few minutes longer if needed.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices will give your salmon and spinach salad the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount called for in the recipe.
  • Don't skip the lemon-herb butter: The lemon-herb butter is what really makes this dish special. It adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the salmon and spinach salad. Be sure to use unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt in the dish.

Conclusion:

This herb-crusted salmon with spinach salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the spinach salad is light and refreshing. The lemon-herb butter is the perfect finishing touch that brings all the flavors together. If you're looking for a new way to cook salmon, this recipe is definitely worth a try.
