ROASTED SALMON WITH LEMON-GARLIC HERB BUTTER



Roasted Salmon With Lemon-Garlic Herb Butter image

As I watched Food Network's Ina Garten make Salmon Nicoise, I was inspired to use the technique of smoothing a thick marinade over salmon filets before roasting. Her marinade is olive oil-based, whereas mine is butter-based and resembles herb butter. My husband was returning from a business trip, so I wanted to surprise him with an elegant dinner. I served this dish alongside lemon-roasted asparagus and roasted garlic smashed potatoes. Needless to say, he was very pleased. Hope you enjoy as well!

CREPES WITH SMOKED SALMON AND LEMON-HERB SOUR CREAM



Crepes with Smoked Salmon and Lemon-Herb Sour Cream image

Provided by Food Network

Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup quick mix flour (recommended: Wondra)
1 cup milk
1/3 cup cold water
3 eggs, beaten
4 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for pan
Pinch kosher salt
1 cup sour cream or creme fraiche
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/4 cup minced dill
2 tablespoons snipped chives
2 tablespoons chopped capers
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces smoked salmon
Caper berries, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, add all of the crepe batter ingredients and whisk together until smooth. Expect the batter to be thinner than normal pancake batter. Refrigerate the batter for at least 30 minutes.
  • When ready to make the crepes, lightly brush a 6 to 8-inch crepe pan or small nonstick skillet with melted butter and put over medium-high heat.
  • Ladle a few tablespoons of batter into the center of the hot pan.
  • Lift the pan, removing it from the heat, and swirl so the batter coats the bottom of the pan in an even layer that's as thin as possible. If you have a few holes in the crepe, you can add a bit more batter to those bald spots to cover them. If there is excess batter in the pan, simply pour it back into the batter bowl.
  • Return the pan to the heat and cook until the edges crisp and the batter loses its shine, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Using a nonstick spatula, flip the crepe and continue cooking on the other side, another 30 to 45 seconds.
  • If making crepes in advance, you can either slide the cooked crepes onto a cookie sheet and keep warm in a 200 degree F oven, or stack on a plate, putting waxed paper between each layer to prevent sticking while you continue with the remaining batter.
  • When ready to serve, heat 1 crepe in a pan and add some of the filling, warming slightly. (If you imagine your crepe to be divided into quarters, you only want to add filling to the bottom corner in order to fold it properly. The crepe should be folded in half (like you would an omelet) and then again into a neat triangle (like a piece of pie). If you want more filling, crepes can be either rolled or folded in half.)
  • Combine the sour cream or creme fraiche, lemon zest, lemon juice, dill, chives, and capers, in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • To serve, put a piece of smoked salmon in the bottom corner of a warmed crepe, folding in half (like you would an omelet) and then again into a neat triangle (like a piece of pie). Repeat with remaining crepes and filling. Arrange the crepes on a serving platter. Top each with a dollop of lemon-herb cream and a caper berry before serving.

SALMON CAKES WITH LEMON HERB SAUCE



Salmon Cakes With Lemon Herb Sauce image

These salmon cakes are super easy to make and quite savory. I just looked on the back of the Chicken of the Sea Pink Salmon package and saw the recipe. I had all the other ingredients around the house...a real plus. I replaced the horseradish with spicy brown mustard because that's what I had. The cakes are extremely flavorful alone--the sauce just adds to it. Enjoy.

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 lbs salmon fillets, skinned and deboned
8 sprigs fresh dill
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 medium lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.

  • Next, squeeze the half lemon over the fillet (watch for seeds!) Bake on top rack for 25-30 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon fillet. Look for a fillet that is thick and firm, with no brown spots.
  • Pat the salmon fillet dry before cooking. This will help the skin crisp up.
  • Preheat the oven to the correct temperature. The temperature will vary depending on the recipe, but it is important to preheat the oven before adding the salmon.

  • Roast the salmon until it is cooked through. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillet, but it is important to cook the salmon until it is opaque throughout.
  • Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best when served hot.
  • Garnish the salmon with fresh herbs or lemon wedges. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
