ROASTED SALMON WITH FENNEL AND LIME



Roasted Salmon With Fennel and Lime image

Fennel is used several ways to flavor these tender fillets of slow-roasted salmon. The seeds are mixed with lime zest and salt to rub all over the fish before cooking, which perfumes it through and through. Then a shaved fennel bulb is used two ways, both roasted in the pan beneath the fillets and tossed with lime juice into a crunchy, slawlike salad to serve on the side. Elegant yet supremely simple, this is fast enough for a weeknight but special enough to share with friends.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 limes
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, lightly crushed using a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a knife
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 (6- to 8-ounce) skinless salmon fillets
1 large fennel bulb with fronds
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
6 fresh marjoram or thyme sprigs
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Finely grate the zest from 1 lime into a small bowl, and set aside the zested lime. Add fennel seeds, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the bowl and toss to combine. Sprinkle mixture all over salmon.
  • Meanwhile, remove the fennel fronds from the bulb and chop up enough to make 1/4 cup. Trim fennel bulb, discarding stalks, and slice bulb thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Spread half the fennel slices in a baking dish in an even layer and drizzle with oil. Arrange salmon on top.
  • Slice the whole, unzested lime into thin rounds and lay the slices on top of the salmon. Tuck marjoram around the salmon and drizzle salmon generously with more olive oil.
  • Roast until salmon is just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. (Thinner fillets may take less time, so start checking for doneness at 10 minutes.)
  • Meanwhile, toss chopped fennel fronds and remaining fennel slices with a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Juice the zested lime and add some of the juice to the fennel, to taste. Drizzle the sliced fennel with olive oil and set aside to serve with the salmon.
  • When the salmon is done, drizzle it with more lime juice and sprinkle with flaky salt. Serve with the fennel salad on top, and the roast fennel on the side, if you like.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 to 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 cups sliced yellow onions, 1/4-inch thick (3 pounds)
5 cups sliced fennel bulbs, 1/4-inch thick (3 pounds)
1/2 cup good olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fennel fronds
1 orange, zested
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (10 pound) fresh salmon

Steps:

  • Have the fishmonger cut the head and tail off the salmon and butterfly it, removing all the bones. You should have about 7 pounds of salmon.
  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • Saute the onions and fennel in the olive oil for 10 minutes on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Add the thyme leaves, fennel fronds, orange zest, orange juice, salt, and pepper and saute for 5 more minutes, until the onions and fennel are tender. Taste for salt and pepper.
  • Lay the salmon, skin side down, on a cutting board and sprinkle both sides generously with salt and pepper. Spread the fennel filling over half of the salmon. Pull the other half up and over the filling, enclosing it. Tie the salmon every 2 inches with kitchen string to secure the stuffing.
  • Place a sheet pan lined with parchment paper in the oven for 5 minutes to heat it. Carefully transfer the salmon to the hot sheet pan and bake it for exactly 30 minutes (10 minutes for each 1-inch of thickness). Do not overbake!
  • Allow to cool slightly, then remove the strings. To serve, cut into thick slices with a very sharp knife. This salmon is delicious hot or at room temperature.
  • Note: If you're making this in advance, be sure to cool the filling before stuffing the salmon. Refrigerate until ready to roast.

PAN-ROASTED SALMON WITH FENNEL PUREE



Pan-Roasted Salmon with Fennel Puree image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large bulb fennel (about 1 pound), cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons lowfat plain Greek yogurt, such as Fage
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus for the cooking water
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Four 6-ounce skinless center-cut salmon fillets
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup chopped fennel fronds
1/4 cup chopped parsley
3 tablespoons Crispy Capers, recipe follows
Lemon wedges, optional
3 tablespoons capers, drained, rinsed and dried very well
Vegetable oil, for shallow frying

Steps:

  • For the fennel: In a medium saucepan, cover the fennel with cold salted water. Place over high heat, bring to a boil, and then lower to a simmer. Cook until very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well and place in a food processor. Add the olive oil, yogurt and salt. Puree until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • For the salmon: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the salmon fillets with the salt. Place the fillets in the pan, flesh-side down, and sear undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes to create a golden brown crust. Gently flip, and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Salad: In a small bowl, mix together the chopped fennel fronds and parsley and the crispy capers.
  • To plate, spread a little of the fennel puree on each of 4 plates. Top with a salmon fillet. Place a little salad on top of each salmon. Squeeze a bit of lemon over the top if desired. Serve immediately.
  • Heat 1/4-inch vegetable oil in a small, straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers when swirled. (You can make sure the oil is hot enough by adding one caper to the oil; if it immediately starts to sizzle and pop, the oil is hot enough.) Add the capers to the hot oil and fry until they have popped open and turned golden brown and crispy, about 1 minute. With a slotted spoon, remove the capers to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.

ROASTED SALMON WITH GINGER-LIME BUTTER



Roasted Salmon With Ginger-Lime Butter image

Wild Pacific salmon is available in spring and summer, and the flavor is phenomenal. It definitely tastes better than farmed salmon and is always a better choice, sustainably speaking. Though it is expensive, think of it as a seasonal treat. Whether you choose wild king salmon, coho or sockeye, take care not to overcook it.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, weeknight, seafood, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (1 1/2 pound) wild salmon fillet, such as king or coho, at room temperature
Salt and pepper
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons grated ginger
1 teaspoon lime zest
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 pound baby spinach
Lime wedges, for serving
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, green and white parts

Steps:

  • Lay the salmon on a rimmed baking sheet, and season with salt and pepper. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Make the ginger-lime butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, ginger, lime zest, lemon zest and lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste, and stir well to combine.
  • Transfer salmon, uncovered, to the oven to cook for about 8 minutes. Check the salmon once or twice as it cooks. Depending on the thickness of the fish, it should be fully cooked when little white juices appear on the surface - moist and yielding with big flakes when probed. It may take 10 minutes for thick fillets.
  • As the salmon cooks, put 2 tablespoons ginger-lime butter in a wide deep skillet or large pot over medium heat. When butter is melted, add spinach and a pinch of salt. Put on the lid and turn heat to medium-high. (You may need to add the spinach in batches.) After 2 minutes, remove lid and stir spinach to help it wilt. When all spinach is wilted, turn off the heat.
  • Transfer salmon to a platter or divide among individual plates. Smear the remaining ginger-lime butter on the fish. Surround with wilted spinach and lime wedges, and top with scallions.

SEARED SALMON FILLETS WITH ROASTED FENNEL AND BALSAMIC LENTILS



Seared Salmon Fillets With Roasted Fennel And Balsamic Lentils image

Provided by Donna St. George

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 red bell peppers
2 yellow bell peppers
1 cup French lentils or brown lentils, rinsed
2 large fennel bulbs, very thinly sliced, fronds reserved for garnish
4 cloves garlic, very thinly sliced
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Juice of 1 lemon
1 shallot, minced
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 6-ounce salmon fillets

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler with rack placed 6 inches under the heat source. Place the bell peppers on a pan in the broiler. Cook, turning occasionally, until the skin is blackened on all sides. Remove from heat, and cool.
  • Lower oven heat to 425 degrees. In a medium saucepan, combine the lentils and 6 cups water. Bring to a boil, lower heat to a simmer and cook until tender, about 40 minutes. Drain the cooked lentils, rinse with cool water and reserve. While lentils are cooking, prepare the fennel salad: in a medium mixing bowl, combine the fennel, garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and salt and pepper. Place the mixture in a shallow oven-proof dish, and roast until the fennel is lightly browned, about 40 minutes. Remove fennel from oven, add lemon juice and reserve until serving time.
  • Skin and seed the cooled bell peppers and cut into small dice. In a medium saute pan over medium heat, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil and shallots. Saute until shallots begin to soften, about 1 minute. Add lentils and diced peppers. Saute another minute, and remove from heat. In a small saucepan over low heat, simmer the balsamic vinegar until reduced by a third, about 2 minutes. Cool, add to the lentil mixture and toss gently. Set aside until serving time.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper to taste. In a well-seasoned or nonstick skillet over high heat, place 1 tablespoon olive oil. Quickly sear the fillets so they are well browned on the surface, and remove from heat. Transfer to an oiled baking dish, and bake about 5 minutes or to taste.
  • To serve, spread half of each plate with balsamic lentils, and half with roasted fennel salad. Top with a salmon fillet, and garnish with a sprig of fennel frond. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Salmon: Opt for wild-caught salmon for its superior flavor and nutritional value.
  • Preheat the Oven: Ensure your oven is fully preheated before placing the salmon in to achieve evenly cooked fish.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the salt and pepper. Season the salmon liberally to enhance its natural flavor.
  • Roast at High Temperature: Start by roasting the salmon at a high temperature to create a crispy skin, then reduce the heat to finish cooking the fish gently.
  • Use a Quality Olive Oil: Choose a flavorful extra-virgin olive oil to drizzle over the salmon before roasting. This will help keep the fish moist and add a delicious richness.
  • Add Aromatics: Enhance the salmon's flavor by adding aromatic vegetables like fennel, onions, and lemons to the roasting pan.
  • Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the salmon. Aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 155°F (68°C) for medium.
  • Let it Rest: Once the salmon is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful fish.
