ROASTED SALMON WITH SPICY CAULIFLOWER



Roasted Salmon with Spicy Cauliflower image

The cauliflower in this dish gets loads of flavor from garlic, anchovies, and red-pepper flakes -- and the richness of the salmon offsets those spices.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Salmon Recipes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 garlic cloves
2 to 4 anchovy fillets (optional)
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons anchovy oil (from can of anchovies) or olive oil
1 head cauliflower (about 2 pounds), cored and cut into large florets
4 skinless salmon fillets, (6 to 8 ounces each)
4 thin lemon slices, halved, plus 4 wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Gather garlic, anchovies (if using), and red-pepper flakes into a pile. Using a chefs knife, coarsely chop; season generously with salt. Using flat side of knife blade, mash mixture into a paste.
  • Place paste into a large bowl; add oils, and mix to combine. Add cauliflower, and toss to coat. Spread mixture in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast until starting to soften, about 15 minutes.
  • Season salmon with salt and pepper. Remove baking sheet from oven; push cauliflower to sides, and place fillets in the center. Arrange two half-slices of lemon on each fillet. Return to oven; bake until fish is opaque throughout, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • To ensure the salmon is cooked evenly, make sure the fillets are of uniform thickness. If they are not, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • For a crispy skin, pat the salmon fillets dry before cooking. You can also score the skin with a sharp knife to help the heat penetrate.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the salmon. This will prevent the fish from cooking evenly.
  • If you are using a nonstick pan, be careful not to overheat it. This can cause the salmon to stick to the pan.
  • When cooking the lentils, be sure to rinse them thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of spices used in the lentil recipe to suit your taste.
  • To make the yogurt sauce, simply whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, and dill. You can also add a touch of honey or maple syrup for a sweeter sauce.

Conclusion:

Roasted salmon on spicy lentils is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. The salmon is flaky and moist, while the lentils are flavorful and filling. The yogurt sauce adds a creamy and tangy touch to the dish. This recipe is sure to become a favorite in your home.
