Roasted Salmon With Leeks image

This is from Irishabroad.com. Their intro to the recipe is "Leeks, a popular member of the onion family, are one of the oldest Irish vegetables and combine well with everything from potatoes to fish. Because of their distinctive flavor, leeks have been used most often as a flavoring, but more and more they're turning up on their own, often as a kind of bedding or nest for meat or fish fillets.

Categories     main-dish

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large leeks (about 1 pound)
1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
Pinch of salt
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
4 salmon fillets (7 to 8 ounces each)
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt or table salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 very thin slices of bacon, preferably applewood smoked

Steps:

  • To prepare the leeks: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove the heavy dark green leaves of the leeks, cut into 1/4-inch circles, and rinse well in cold water. You should have about 2 cups. Pour the melted butter into a small ovenproof casserole, add the leeks, mint, salt, and pepper, and pour over the heavy cream. Toss to distribute evenly. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and keep warm.
  • To prepare the salmon: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Place 2 overlapping slices of bacon over each salmon fillet. Lightly oil a large heavy sheet pan and place the salmon on it and roast in the top part of the oven for 10 minutes for medium rare. The bacon should almost melt off.
  • To serve: Spoon leeks and their sauce into the center of each of 4 serving plates and place the roasted salmon with bacon on top.

SLOW-ROASTED SALMON WITH MUSHROOM-LEEK BROTH



Slow-Roasted Salmon With Mushroom-Leek Broth image

This warming dish is inspired by Japanese ochazuke, a comforting bowl of rice with green tea poured on top. Traditionally, the meal may also be finished with grilled fish, sashimi or other toppings, but there is room for variation: You could swap out the hot tea for dashi, broth or other liquids. In this approach, the salmon is slow-roasted - which helps render some of the fat and keeps the fish meltingly tender - while a light shiitake mushroom and leek broth simmers. Divide cooked rice among bowls, spoon the salmon and vegetable broth on top, and finish with fresh ginger and a drizzle of sesame oil.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (1 1/2-pound) piece skin-on or skinless salmon
2 tablespoons sesame oil, plus more for serving
Kosher salt
2 medium leeks, trimmed, white and light greens cut crosswise into 1-inch rounds (about 2 cups)
8 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, destemmed and sliced
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups cooked short-grain white rice
Fresh ginger, peeled and cut into very thin matchsticks, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Place salmon on a baking sheet. Drizzle salmon with 1 tablespoon sesame oil, sprinkle with salt and roast in the oven until cooked, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove salmon from the oven and let it rest another 5 minutes.
  • While the salmon roasts, heat remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a pot over medium. Add leeks and mushrooms, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks and mushrooms are lightly golden on the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. (Don't worry if the pan seems dry, the moisture that comes out of the mushrooms and leeks will help steam the vegetables and keep them from burning.)
  • Add chicken broth and simmer until the broth is infused with mushroom flavor and leeks are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt.
  • To serve, divide rice among bowls. Scoop salmon by the spoonful onto the rice, and ladle vegetables and broth over salmon and rice. Top with ginger and a drizzle of sesame oil.

Provided by SHERSHON

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Seafood Main Dish Recipes     Salmon     Salmon Fillet Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 leeks
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3 carrots, cut into matchsticks
kosher salt to taste
2 pounds salmon fillets
2 teaspoons olive oil
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil, and spray with cooking spray.
  • Trim away the root end, tough outer leaves, and dark green tops of the leeks. Cut the leeks lengthwise into quarters, then crosswise into thirds. Wash the leeks well to remove any grit, and drain in a colander.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook and stir the leeks until they have started to soften, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the leeks with brown sugar, and cook until they turn brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the matchstick carrots, sprinkle with kosher salt, and cook and stir until the carrots are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet, rub the fillets with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast the salmon until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily but isn't dry, about 10 minutes per 1 inch of thickness. Remove the cooked fillets to plates, and top each fillet with 1/4 of the caramelized leeks and carrots.

Provided by Esther Clark

Categories     Dinner, Fish Course, Main course, Supper

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

250g baby potatoes , thickly sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 leek , halved, washed and sliced
1 garlic clove , crushed
70ml double cream
1 tbsp capers , plus extra to serve
1 tbsp chives , plus extra to serve

mixed rocket salad , to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bring a medium pan of water to the boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 8 mins. Drain and leave to steam-dry in a colander for a few minutes. Toss the potatoes with ½ of the oil and plenty of seasoning in a baking tray. Put in the oven for 20 mins, tossing halfway through the cooking time.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the leek and fry for 5 mins, or until beginning to soften. Stir through the garlic for 1 min, then add the cream, capers and 75ml hot water, then bring to the boil. Stir through the chives.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest salmon possible. Look for fish that is bright in color and has a mild, briny smell. Avoid salmon that is dull in color or has a strong, fishy odor.
  • Use a roasting pan that is large enough to accommodate the salmon without overcrowding. A 9x13-inch pan is a good size for a 4-pound salmon fillet.
  • Roast the salmon at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy skin and prevent the fish from drying out. A temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal.
  • Roast the salmon until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the fish should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit when measured with a meat thermometer.
  • Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the fish, making it more flavorful.
  • Serve the salmon with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Roasted salmon with creamed leeks is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The salmon is roasted at a high temperature until it is cooked through, and the creamed leeks add a rich and flavorful sauce. This dish is sure to impress your friends and family, and it is a great way to enjoy fresh salmon.
