Number Of Ingredients 11

One 3-pound salmon fillet, skinless, small bones removed
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped dill, tarragon, or chives (optional)
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup white-wine vinegar
1 shallot, minced
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Prepare fillet; starting at thick edge, slice fillet so that it opens like a book (be careful not to cut all the way through the opposite side). Coat inside of salmon "book" with mustard, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with herbs and zest. Slide 6 pieces of kitchen twine under fish, and roll it up. Tie twine to hold roll together. Tie 6 more pieces of twine around fish. Slice the fish into 12 individually tied rounds. Transfer slices to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until ready to cook (up to 1 day).
  • In a small saucepan, boil wine, vinegar, and shallot until pan is almost dry, 20 to 25 minutes. Add cream and return to a boil. Remove pan from heat, and gradually whisk in butter until thickened and glossy. Season with salt and pour through a fine-mesh sieve.
  • Roast salmon until fish flakes easily, 10 to 12 minutes. Carefully remove twine from each roulade. Drizzle with sauce.

We sometimes send our delicious Washington salmon all the way to Michigan for my sister to use in this family-favorite dish! The tasty topping can be used on other types of fish, too. Fresh thyme from your garden really sparks the flavor. -Perlene Hoekema Lynden, Washington

Tips for Cooking Lemon-Herb Salmon:

  • Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught, sustainably sourced salmon that is fresh and firm.
  • Use fresh herbs. Dried herbs can be used in a pinch, but fresh herbs will give your salmon the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center, about 6-8 minutes per side.
  • Serve with a simple sauce. A lemon-herb sauce is a classic accompaniment to salmon. You can also try a creamy dill sauce or a tangy salsa verde.

Lemon-herb salmon is a delicious and healthy meal that can be easily prepared at home. It is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. With its bright, citrusy flavor and tender, flaky texture, lemon-herb salmon is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
