SALMON FILLETS WITH SALSA VERDE AND FARRO SALAD

Provided by Amanda Freitag

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 cups farro
4 cups water
Kosher salt
1/4 cup olive oil
Four 6-ounce skin-on salmon fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic
2 anchovy fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 bunch chives, coarsely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 bunch flat-leaf parsley, coarsely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh oregano leaves
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup canola oil
2 cups arugula
1 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the farro: Combine the farro with the water in a large saucepan, cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until al dente, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain off any excess water and transfer to a medium bowl. Season with salt.
  • For the salmon: Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Pat the salmon dry and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Add the fillets to the skillet, skin-side down, and cook, undisturbed, for 2 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the salmon, still skin-side down, until the skin is crisp and golden but the flesh is still just translucent in the center, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the salsa verde: Use both the blade edge and a flat side of a chef's knife to mince and mash the garlic, anchovies and salt to a paste. Transfer the paste to a food processor. Add the mustard, herbs and red pepper flakes, and pulse while slowly drizzling in both oils. The consistency should be chunky. Season with salt and black pepper and set aside.
  • For the assembly: Divide the arugula among 4 plates; top each with 1 salmon fillet, skin-side up. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of the farro over each serving and drizzle generously with the salsa verde (about 2 tablespoons per plate). Halve the lemon, remove the seeds, and squeeze the juice over the salsa verde.

Categories     main-dish

Time 23m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 large oranges
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 scallions, finely sliced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed, drained and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons orange zest
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable or canola oil, for oiling the grill
4 (4 to 5-ounce) center cut salmon fillets, skinned, each about 3-inches square
2 tablespoons amber agave nectar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the salsa: Peel and trim the ends from each orange. Using a paring knife, cut along the membrane on both sides of each segment. Free the segments and add them to a medium bowl. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, scallions, mint, capers, orange zest, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes. Toss lightly and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
  • For the salmon: Put a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Brush the grilling rack with vegetable oil to keep the salmon from sticking. Brush the salmon on both sides with the agave nectar and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until the fish flakes easily and is cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Transfer the salmon to a platter and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Spoon the salsa verde on top of the salmon or serve on the side as an accompaniment.

Yield Serves 1, plus 1 lunchbox

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tsp olive oil
1 orange , zested and juiced
2 skin-on salmon fillets

1 shallot or 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
½ tbsp red wine vinegar
400g can chickpeas , drained and rinsed
2 roasted red peppers from a jar, drained and chopped
50g kale

Steps:

Stir in the chickpeas and some seasoning, turn up the heat and stir until the chickpeas are just starting to crisp. Mash roughly with a potato masher and stir in the roasted peppers and kale. Add a splash of water and cover with a lid until the kale is wilted. Keep warm over a low heat.
  • Grill the salmon for 4-6 mins, or until cooked to your liking. Spoon half the chickpeas onto a plate, top with a salmon fillet (leaving the skin behind if you like), and spoon over some of the salsa verde. Leave the remaining salmon fillet to cool to use in the lunchbox, see tip below.

PAN-SEARED SALMON & FARRO SALAD RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Pan-Seared Salmon & Farro Salad Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-70803

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 Salmon Fillets
1/3 Cup Semi-Pearled Farro
4 Ounces Brussels Sprouts
1 Apple
1 Lemon
1 Large Bunch Parsley
2 Tablespoons Whole Grain Dijon Mustard
1 Shallot

Steps:

  • 1 Cook the farro: Heat a medium pot of salted water to boiling on high. Once boiling, add the farro. Cook 16 to 18 minutes, or until tender. Drain thoroughly. 2 Prepare the ingredients: While the farro cooks, wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the stem ends of the Brussels sprouts; halve lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Using a peeler, remove the rind of the lemon, avoiding the pith; mince to get 2 teaspoons of zest (or use a zester). Quarter and deseed the lemon. Peel and mince the shallot to get 2 tablespoons of minced shallot (you may have extra); place in a bowl with the juice of 3 lemon wedges. Pick the parsley leaves off the stems; discard the stems. Core and small dice the apple. 3 Cook the Brussels Sprouts: While the farro continues to cook, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the Brussels sprouts and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to a large bowl. Wipe out the pan. 4 Make the vinaigrette: While the Brussels sprouts cook, add the mustard to the shallot-lemon juice mixture; season with salt and pepper to taste. Slowly whisk in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until thoroughly combined. 5 Cook the salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. In the pan used to cook the Brussels sprouts, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned salmon. Cook 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired degree of doneness. Remove from heat. 6 Finish the farro & plate your dish: While the salmon cooks, to the bowl of cooked Brussels sprouts, add the apple, cooked farro and as much of the vinaigrette as you'd like (you may have extra vinaigrette). Stir to thoroughly combine and season with salt and pepper to taste. In a small bowl, toss the parsley with the juice of the remaining lemon wedge; season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the farro salad between 2 dishes. Top with the cooked salmon and garnish with the dressed parsley. Enjoy!
