LEMONY SALMON AND ASPARAGUS SALAD



Lemony Salmon and Asparagus Salad image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 bunch thick asparagus, ends trimmed and tough outer skin peeled off
2 cups snow peas, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped, plus whole leaves, for serving
1/2 cup roasted pistachios, chopped
1/4 cup crumbled feta
1 lemon, zested and juiced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Four 6-ounce salmon fillets, skin off
1 tablespoon lemon pepper
Fried Eggs, recipe follows, for serving
Balsamic glaze, for drizzling
Oil, for frying
4 large eggs

Steps:

  • Using a sharp peeler, peel the asparagus into ribbons and add to a large bowl. Add the snow peas, mint, pistachios, feta, lemon juice and zest, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper and toss gently. Set aside.
  • Heat a large nonstick pan over a medium heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season the salmon fillets on both sides with the lemon pepper. Cook the salmon until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the salmon and cook to desired doneness, about another 2 to 4 minutes, depending on thickness of your fillets.
  • Serve family style, placing the salad on a platter with the salmon on top. Place the Fried Eggs over the salmon and garnish with balsamic glaze and mint leaves. Or serve individual portions on 4 plates.
  • Heat some oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. There should be just enough oil to cover the edges of the eggs when they are cracked into the skillet.
  • Once the oil is mildly hot, crack in the eggs one at a time. Cook until the eggs begin to turn white, then use a small spoon to carefully spoon the hot oil over only the whites of the eggs (avoiding the yolks). This will help the whites cook slowly so the tops will set but still look pretty. Important: Don't spoon any oil over the yolks yet! Only spoon oil over the whites for now to prevent the eggs from turning cloudy.
  • After a minute or two of cooking, once the whites are set and not jiggly or loose, carefully spoon the oil over the yolks. Continue spooning the oil over the eggs until they appear to be done to your liking.
  • Remove the eggs from the skillet with a slotted spatula, then drain them briefly on a paper towel before serving.

ROASTED SALMON WITH ASPARAGUS, LEMON AND BROWN BUTTER



Roasted Salmon With Asparagus, Lemon and Brown Butter image

Ready in just 15 minutes, this fast dinner combines silky salmon with a vibrant green medley of asparagus and peas. While the fish roasts, the vegetables and sauce come together in one pan on the stovetop. Thinly slicing the asparagus is the trick to maintaining a crisp texture that complements the tender salmon, while bright lemon juice and zingy capers balance the nutty brown butter sauce. Parsley is used here to finish, but dill or tarragon would also be lovely. Leftover vegetables make a fantastic omelet filling the next day.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon fillet. Look for a fillet that is about 1 inch thick and has a deep pink color. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a pale color, as they will not cook evenly.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as tarragon and parsley, will give the salmon a bright, flavorful taste. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use only half the amount called for in the recipe.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it quickly over high heat. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to keep the salmon warm, you can place it in a preheated oven set to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Lemon tarragon salmon over asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The salmon is flaky and flavorful, and the asparagus is tender and crisp. The lemon tarragon sauce is the perfect complement to the salmon and asparagus, and it adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the dish. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
