I.C. SALMON WITH DILL-YOGURT SAUCE



I.C. Salmon with Dill-Yogurt Sauce image

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets, 3/4- to 1-inch thick, preferably wild-caught, thawed if frozen (see Chef's Note)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon
1 cup (260 grams) whole milk yogurt (not Greek-style)
1/2 cup (23 grams) chopped fresh dill fronds
2 teaspoons stone-ground mustard
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
3 grinds black pepper
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as safflower or canola

Steps:

  • Place the salmon on a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet. Rub the fillets with 2 teaspoons of the salt, then refrigerate for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, set your immersion circulator bath for 124 degrees F (51 degrees C).
  • Pat the salmon dry with paper towels, then divide between two gallon-size vacuum-seal or high-quality freezer zip-top bags. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of the olive oil to each bag, then gently rub the fish to coat. Use a peeler to harvest eight strips of lemon peel and place two strips, pith-side up, on top of each fillet. Halve and juice the lemon; set the juice aside to use in the sauce. If using vacuum-seal bags, use the "gentle" or "moist" setting to seal the bags.
  • Transfer the fillet bags to the water bath. If using zip-top bags, let the salmon sink, forcing the air out of the bag via displacement. Right before the mouth of the bag goes into the water, seal the bag. Leave the salmon to cook for 45 minutes. (If one of the bags floats, carefully reopen and try the sink-and-seal method again.)
  • While the salmon cooks, make the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, dill, mustard, horseradish, and pepper. Stir in the remaining teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice. Stir well, then season to taste with additional salt, pepper, and lemon juice, if desired. Set aside until ready to serve.
  • When the salmon is finished, remove it from the water bath. Open the bags and very carefully remove the fish to a paper towel-lined sheet pan. Pat the fish as dry as possible with additional paper towels. Brush the skin side lightly with some of the neutral oil.
  • Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat for 3 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons of the neutral oil and swirl the pan to coat. When the oil starts to smoke, add two of the salmon fillets, skin-side down. Brush the flesh side lightly with additional oil. Cook until the skin is browned and crisp, about 1 minute. Carefully flip with a narrow metal spatula or "fish turner" and cook on the second side just until just brown, about 30 seconds. Carefully transfer to a serving platter and repeat with the remaining oil and fillets. Serve with the dill-yogurt sauce.

I served this with spaghetti. I tossed the hot, drained noodles with enough of the sauce to coat, plated the spaghetti, topped with the salmon and dressed the salmon with another dollop of the sauce, and garnished with a few more capers.

Tips:

  • Choose a fresh, high-quality salmon fillet. Look for firm, opaque flesh with no brown spots.
  • To ensure even cooking, bring the salmon to room temperature before cooking.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or baking sheet to prevent the salmon from sticking.
  • Cook the salmon over medium heat for best results. High heat can cause the salmon to overcook and become dry.
  • Use a thermometer to ensure the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 150°F (66°C) for medium, or 155°F (68°C) for well-done.
  • Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the fish, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve the salmon with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Moist salmon with dill sauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is perfect for home cooks of all skill levels. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish to impress your guests, this salmon recipe is sure to become a favorite.
