ROASTED SALMON WITH ASPARAGUS, LEMON AND BROWN BUTTER
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.

Time 1h
Number Of Ingredients 14
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Make the salmon: Using a sharp knife, cut slits crosswise along both sides of salmon, spacing each about 2 inches apart. Stuff each slit with 1 lemon slice and 1 sprig of each herb. Rub salmon all over with oil, and season with salt and pepper. (If making a side of salmon, cut slits into flesh, and stuff with some of the lemon slices and herbs. Do not oil or season.)
- Season cavity with salt and pepper, and stuff with scallions. Transfer salmon to a parchment-lined baking sheet. (If making a side of salmon, top flesh with scallions, drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Transfer salmon to baking sheet flesh side up.) Roast for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees. Roast salmon until flesh is slightly firm to the touch and the tip of a paring knife inserted into the center comes out hot, 30 to 35 minutes. (Salmon will be medium-rare after 30 minutes. If making a side of salmon, roast for 6 to 8 minutes at 450 degrees.) Loosen fish from skin using a metal spatula.
- Meanwhile, make the horseradish-caper cream sauce: Mix together sour cream, horseradish, lemon juice, chives, and capers. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Serve salmon with sauce.

Steps:
- Cook the salmon:
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Place salmon in a baking dish and rub with lemon zest, oregano, salt, and pepper on all sides, then coat with oil. Arrange peppers around salmon. Bake until salmon is firm but still pink in the center, about 20 minutes (if you prefer salmon more well done, cook an additional 5 minutes).
- Meanwhile, make the salad:
- Set a steamer basket in a large pot filled with 2" water. Cover pot and bring water to a boil. Add potatoes, cover, and steam until tender, 10-12 minutes. Add asparagus to potatoes, cover, and steam until crisp-tender, 3-5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup dill in a small bowl or measuring cup. Toss escarole with half of the dressing in a large bowl, then transfer to a serving platter.
- Toss potatoes and asparagus with remaining dressing in same bowl, then arrange over escarole. Flake salmon into large pieces and arrange on platter. Top with feta, peppers, and dill sprigs.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon and asparagus possible. Freshness will ensure the best flavor and texture.
- Roast the salmon and asparagus at a high temperature. This will help to caramelize the salmon and tenderize the asparagus.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. Cook it until it is just cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
- Make sure the lemon caper sauce is well-seasoned. The sauce should be bright and flavorful, with a good balance of acidity and saltiness.
- Serve the roasted salmon and asparagus with the lemon caper sauce immediately. This will ensure that the salmon is hot and the sauce is warm.
Conclusion:
Roasted salmon and asparagus with lemon caper sauce is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection, the asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the lemon caper sauce is the perfect finishing touch. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
