SALMON BAKED IN PHYLLO WITH WARM POTATO SALAD



Salmon Baked in Phyllo with Warm Potato Salad image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Olive oil
3/4 cup sweet Swedish mustard, divided
1/2-cup fresh dill, chopped, divided
4 (4-ounce) salmon fillet pieces, center cut (16 ounces)
Sea salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 pound unsalted butter, melted
3 phyllo pastry sheets
1 tablespoon caraway seed, toasted
1 leek, white part only, cut in rings
1 pound fingerling potatoes, roasted
1 cup creme fraiche, prepared
2 tablespoons dried currants
1 bunch mesclun greens
1-ounce salmon roe

Steps:

  • Mix together 2 tablespoons each olive oil, sweet mustard, and dill. Brush the mixture on the salmon fillets; season with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, brush a baking sheet with some melted butter. Unroll the phyllo dough and lay a sheet flat on a work surface. Brush the sheet with melted butter, then dust with some caraway and dill. Repeat with 2 more sheets of phyllo, stacking on top of each other. With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, remove 4-inches off the side of the sheets to form a square. Now, cut criss-cross to make 4 even squares. Transfer the squares to the baking sheet. Lay a piece of salmon in the center of each square and fold up the corners. As you work, keep the phyllo covered with a damp, not wet, towel to prevent drying out. Brush the pastry lightly with butter and bake for 25 minutes or until the fish is opaque. In the meantime prepare the potatoes.
  • Coat a saute pan with olive oil and cook the leeks until translucent. Cut the roasted potatoes in half lengthwise and place face down in the pan to give them color. Add creme fraiche, remaining mustard, dill, and currants. Cook over low heat until heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • To serve: divide the potato mixture among 4 shallow bowls, mound a handful of greens on top followed by the salmon phyllo. Garnish with salmon caviar and serve immediately.

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.

BROILED SALMON WITH MUSTARD AND LEMON



Broiled Salmon With Mustard and Lemon image

In this simple salmon recipe, a quick stint under the broiler transforms smooth Dijon mustard into a savory, caramelized crust, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice adds just the right brightness and tang to the rich, sweet fish. Covering the baking pan with a protective layer of aluminum foil helps with the cleanup, meaning you can cook dinner and wash up in under 30 minutes.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, seafood, main course

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (6- to 8-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets, each about 1-inch thick
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal), plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Position one oven rack 6 inches from the broiler heat source then heat the broiler. Season the salmon fillets all over with ½ teaspoon salt and a couple of grinds of pepper and place them on an aluminum foil-lined sheet pan, skin side down.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the oil and mustard until well mixed. Brush the tops and sides of the salmon with this mustard mixture.
  • Broil until the salmon is opaque with a deep brown crust, about 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. (The center of the fillets will be dark pink, if you pierce one with a paring knife and take a look.) If your fillets are thinner, reduce cooking time by 1 to 2 minutes. If you prefer more well-done fish, add 1 or 2 minutes to the cooking time.
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge all over the cooked salmon fillets, then serve salmon with more lemon wedges on the side.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Salmon Recipes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup packed fresh herbs, such as tarragon, dill, basil, or parsley, or a combination, for serving
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Cut four 12-by-17-inch pieces of parchment. Fold each in half crosswise to make a crease, then unfold and lay flat. Toss asparagus and leek with oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: Cut the salmon into fillets, trim the asparagus, and prepare the phyllo dough according to the instructions in the recipe. This will save you time and ensure that everything is ready when you need it.
  • Season the salmon generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices to flavor the salmon. This will help to enhance the natural flavor of the fish and make it more delicious.
  • Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through: Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough, so be careful not to cook it for too long. The best way to tell if the salmon is done is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If it flakes easily, it is done.
  • Serve the salmon and asparagus immediately: This dish is best served hot out of the oven, so make sure to have everything ready before you start cooking.
