SALMON WITH HERB-SHRIMP SAUCE WW
DH fell in love with salmon with this dish, and we have been poaching fish in sherry or dry vermouth ever since. The herb-shrimp sauce makes it very special. I use dry sherry or dry vermouth instead of dry wine because they store indefinitely. The original recipe in "Simply the Best" called for reduced-calorie margarine, but I prefer using 1/2 butter (as long as the food doesn't swim in it!) and 1/2 olive oil. This is one diet-friendly recipe that doesn't seem like a diet recipe. In the old WW program one portion was 4 "thingies".

- Pat salmon dry. Place in the pan, and add the sherry or vermouth (or dry white wine if you insist).

SLOW-ROASTED SALMON WITH HERB SAUCE
"This dish utilizes a really simple technique of roasting salmon at a very low temperature," says Jerry Traunfeld. "I pair it with a white wine and butter sauce and top it with rough chopped herbs. It's an especially great recipe if you have an herb garden, but you can easily prepare it with herbs from the supermarket."

Steps:
- Prepare the salmon for roasting: Preheat oven to 225 degrees F. Remove the salmon skin by cutting a flap of skin from the tail end. Hold the skin with a kitchen towel for a good grip, then hold the knife at a 30-degree angle downward to the cutting board between the skin and the flesh. Move the towel back and forth so the knife cuts through the salmon without cutting off much of the flesh. Using tweezers or needle-nose pliers, pull out any small bones left in the salmon, then cut fillet into 4 even slices at an angle. Place salmon fillets into a shallow roasting pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt. Rub the fish with the oil to evenly coat, then place on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes, checking after 10 minutes. Note: If the fish is cold from the refrigerator, let it come to room temp, about 30 minutes, before baking.
- Make the beurre blanc sauce and prepare the herbs: In a medium saucepan, add the shallot, white wine, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until liquid has reduced by half. While the liquid is reducing, chop the herbs. Any combination of herbs will work as long as they're chopped roughly (not finely), to preserve their character and flavor. Once the liquid has reduced, whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, to thicken the sauce.
- Finish the sauce and assemble the dish: Salmon is cooked when it's flaking apart gently and no longer raw in the middle. Set aside. Finish the sauce by pouring it into a blender to break up the shallots and create a better emulsion with the butter. Pour back into the pan over low heat and add the herbs. Place a salmon fillet on a serving plate, ladle herb sauce on top. Garnish with the additional fresh herbs and serve.
SALMON TOURNEDOS WITH HERB SAUCE
Steps:
- Tuck 1 narrow end of salmon in toward center. Wrap second narrow end around first to form solid round. Repeat with remaining salmon steaks, forming 4 solid rounds. Season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut four 3/4-to 1-inch-wide strips from center section of each tortilla. Wrap 2 strips around each salmon round, overlapping ends to encircle completely. Secure with toothpicks. Transfer to baking sheet. Sprinkle tops of salmon with 2 tablespoons chives, 2 tablespoons dill and 2 tablespoons onion. Press to adhere.
- Melt 3 tablespoons butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup onion; sauté until tender but not brown, about 5 minutes. Add wine and lemon juice. Increase heat; boil until sauce is reduced to 1/3 cup, stirring occasionally, about 9 minutes. Set aside.
- Bake salmon packets until salmon is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring sauce to simmer over low heat. Add 6 tablespoons chilled butter 1 piece at a time, whisking just until melted after each addition. Remove from heat. Mix in 1 tablespoon chives and 1 tablespoon dill. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Transfer salmon to plates. Spoon sauce around and serve.
SALMON WITH SESAME AND HERBS
The easy-to-memorize marinade for this fast broiled salmon hits all the right notes: salty, sweet and sour. The fish emerges from the oven with caramelized, crisp skin, which contrasts nicely with a salad of fresh parsley or cilantro (or both), tossed with sesame oil and rice wine vinegar. Close contact with the intense heat will help crisp up the skin, while keeping the rest of the fish tender and flaky. To avoid overcooking the salmon, be sure to buy fillets that are at least 1 inch thick, and keep an eye on the fish.

Steps:
- Combine soy sauce, light brown sugar and 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar in a wide, shallow bowl (or small baking dish) and season with salt and plenty of black pepper. Place salmon skin-side up in the marinade and let sit for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
- Place a rack in the top third of the oven and heat the broiler.
- Place salmon skin-side up on a foil-lined baking sheet; discard the marinade. Transfer to oven and broil until the salmon is cooked through and the skin is bubbling and lightly crisped, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toast the sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, tossing frequently until seeds are golden brown and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Toss shallot rings with remaining 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Let sit for a minute or two to lightly pickle, then add the sesame seeds, herbs and sesame oil and toss to combine.
- Transfer salmon to a large serving platter and spoon the remaining marinade from the sheet pan over the fillets. Top with sesame and herb salad and serve.
