Pan-Seared Salmon with No-Fail Hollandaise and Asparagus image

Provided by Andrew Zimmern

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 skin-on salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
Sea salt
Ground white pepper
3 tablespoons safflower or other vegetable oil
1/2 pound asparagus, trimmed
3 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus more for seasoning
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon, plus more for garnish
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cubed and at room temperature
Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil.
Season your salmon with sea salt and white pepper.

Steps:

  • Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat for a couple minutes.
  • Salt the boiling water, add the asparagus and cook for 2 minutes. Drain and reserve on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Add the salmon skin-side up to the pan and cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook skin-side down until the skin is crisped and salmon is cooked just past medium-rare, about 6 more minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the hollandaise sauce: Bring a couple inches of water to a simmer in a small saucepan. Whisk together the egg yolks, mustard, cayenne, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon each of the herbs in a medium metal bowl. Set the bowl over the simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) and whisk until the hollandaise has thickened, about 2 minutes. You can move the saucepan on and off the heat to regulate the temperature, so the eggs don't cook too quickly.
  • When the mixture is hot and thickened, gradually add the butter in several batches and whisk after each addition until fully incorporated, about 3 minutes. Add sea salt and white pepper to taste.
  • Place the salmon fillets and asparagus on individual serving plates and spoon the hollandaise over the top. Garnish with the remaining minced herbs and serve.

SALMON AND TOMATOES IN FOIL



Salmon and Tomatoes in Foil image

Here is a simple recipe for salmon prepared en papillote (a fancy name for "in paper," though like most everyone else these days, you will use aluminum foil). Layer salmon, tomato and basil on lightly oiled foil and wrap it all up - you can even do it a night before cooking. When the time for dinner comes, you can steam, grill, roast or pan-grill the packages - though our testing shows roasting is easiest. You can substitute almost anything comparable for each of the ingredients: salmon can be replaced by any fish steak or fillet, or by boneless, skinless chicken breast. The herb and vegetable can also be varied at will, as long as the vegetable will finish cooking at the same time as the protein: if you were cooking broccoli, for example, you would have to cut it into small pieces; if carrots, you'd have to parboil them.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 to 2 pounds salmon fillet, cut crosswise (4 pieces)
12 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
Salt and pepper
16 basil leaves

Steps:

  • For each of 4 packages, place one 12-inch-long sheet of aluminum foil on top of another. Smear top sheet with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, and layer a fillet of salmon, 6 tomato halves, salt and pepper, 4 basil leaves and another half tablespoon oil. Seal package by folding foil onto itself and crimping edges tightly. Repeat to make other packages, and refrigerate until ready to cook, no more than 24 hours later.
  • When you are ready to cook, heat oven to 500 degrees. Place packages in a roasting pan. (Or they can be cooked on top of the stove in 2 skillets over medium-high heat.) Cook 5 minutes (for medium-rare) to 8 minutes from the time the mixture starts to sizzle, or roughly 10 to 12 minutes total.
  • Let packages rest a minute, and cut a slit along the top with a knife. Use a knife and fork to open the package. Spoon the salmon, garnish and juices onto a plate, and serve.

BROILED SALMON AND ASPARAGUS WITH HERBS



Broiled Salmon and Asparagus With Herbs image

Many people fear the broiler because they don't know how to use it, or they're worried they'll overdo it and end up with a scorched dinner. But when used properly, it's a useful tool ideal for crisping chicken skin, charring vegetables and melting cheese. Broiling is also a great method for perfectly cooking salmon: It yields a deeply browned crust and a tender center that isn't overcooked. All broilers are different, and knowing the strength of yours and being aware of any uneven "hot spots" help maximize the efficiency of it. (As your dish cooks, look to see if it's cooking evenly across the surface, which will tell you if you need to move things around.) In this recipe, soy-and-mustard-coated salmon and asparagus cook under the broiler, and are topped with an herb salad for a hit of brightness, freshness and acidity.

Categories     dinner, weeknight, seafood, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 bunch cilantro, leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped
1 bunch parsley, leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped
1 small bunch mint or dill, leaves picked, roughly chopped
4 scallions, light green and white parts, sliced
1/4 to ½ teaspoon red-pepper flakes, according to taste
3 tablespoons lemon juice, plus more as needed
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed
Salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 large bunch asparagus, woody ends trimmed
4 (4- to 6-ounce) salmon fillets, at least ¾-inch thick

Steps:

  • In a medium serving bowl, toss together the herbs, scallions, red-pepper flakes, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Season with more lemon or oil as needed until the leaves look glossy. Set aside.
  • Heat the broiler with a rack 6 inches from the heat source.
  • In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and mustard until smooth. Add the asparagus to a large sheet pan, toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, then season well with salt and pepper. Move the asparagus to the sides, and place the salmon skin side down in the center. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, brush the tops and sides with the soy mixture, then toss the asparagus in the rest of the soy mixture. (Use a paper towel to wipe off excess soy on the sheet pan, as it will smoke.)
  • Broil until the salmon is opaque with a deep brown crust, about 6 to 8 minutes for medium rare, and 8 to 10 minutes for medium, depending on the strength of your broiler and the thickness of the salmon. (Reduce cooking time by 1 to 2 minutes for thinner fillets.) If it looks like it's browning too quickly or smoking excessively, move to a lower rack to finish cooking. Top the salmon and asparagus with the herb salad or serve on the side with a final round of pepper.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Choose thick asparagus stalks. They will hold up better in the foil packets.
  • Don't overcrowd the foil packets. This will prevent the salmon and asparagus from cooking evenly.
  • Seal the foil packets tightly. This will help to keep the flavors and moisture in.
  • Cook the salmon and asparagus until they are cooked through. The salmon should be opaque and flaky, and the asparagus should be tender but still slightly crisp.
  • Serve the salmon and asparagus immediately. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
