Steps:
- Season the salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Make 2 or 3 slits across the skin of the salmon. Place a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add enough peanut oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Just as the oil begins to smoke add the salmon, skin-side down and cook for 4 minutes. Lower the heat and cook the salmon all the way on the same side, about 10 minutes - it will cook from the bottom up. During the last 30 seconds or so, spoon some of the oil over the top of the salmon to help cook it through.
- While the salmon is cooking, make the sauce. In a stainless steel saute pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon butter and the oil. When the butter is melted, add the onions and cook until translucent but not browned, about 6 minutes, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper. Deglaze with the balsamic vinegar and red wine. Add the thyme and cook until the liquid is almost completely reduced, about 3 minutes. Add the cream and bring to a simmer. Cook until the cream is slightly reduced and starts to thicken, about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Be careful as the cream could boil over at this point. Once the cream is reduced, remove the thyme sprig. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Stir in the remaining butter.
- Spoon the onion marmalade onto plates. Top with the salmon and garnish with chive flowers.

Steps:
- Cut potatoes into small bite sized chunks.
- Slice zucchini and yellow squash into 1/4" slices.
- Mince all garlic. Use more or less to your taste.
- Slice lemon in to 8ths.
- Turn oven on to 350 degrees.
- In a big skillet put 3-4 Tbsp of olive oil. Turn heat on medium to medium-high.
- Place the potatoes in the skillet and season to taste with garlic (a little less than half), chili powder (I also use Cayenne pepper), salt, pepper, oregano, basil and thyme.
- Toss in pan or use a spatula so that all the potatoes are evenly covered.
- Season zucchini and squash the same as the potatoes.
- Cook potatoes for 10-15 minutes until ALMOST done. Turn heat to medium-low or medium.
- Add zucchini and squash to potatoes and toss (or turn with spatula).
- Wash salmon fillet and place in large square baking pan 11 X 7 X 2 is good (just know that it has to be big enough for the salmon and all the potatoes and squash).
- Score the salmon length-wise (as if you were going to make 3 strips of fish) about half way through the meat. DO NOT CUT ALL THE WAY THOROUGH.
- In the two pockets you just made in the fish, stuff the minced garlic. Then squeeze 2 or 3 of the lemon slices (juice AND pulp) over the fish, and place two tablespoons of butter (margarine can be used, but will make the fish greasy) over each pocket.
- Sprinkle salmon with chili powder, and pepper.
- After potatoes and squash are done (potatoes are soft) dump the whole skillet over the salmon and put in the oven on the middle rack and bake until the salmon is flakey (about 30 minutes).

SPICED SALMON WITH SUGAR SNAP PEAS AND RED ONION
Seared sugar snap peas and red onions make a sweet accompaniment to silky salmon fillets in this lovely springtime one-pan meal. The salmon fillets, coated in a garlicky spice blend, are briefly browned, leaving fragrant, savory drippings in the pan. Those drippings then season the vegetables, infusing them as they cook. Keep an eye on the salmon, especially if you prefer it on the rare side. Thin fillets in particular are all too easy to overcook.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon oil, garlic and baharat. Season salmon all over with salt and black pepper. Rub spice mixture all over salmon. Set salmon aside while slicing the onions and sugar snap peas.
- Cut the onions in half root-to-stem, then peel them and slice into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons. Trim the peas and cut them in half crosswise.
- In a large, preferably nonstick ovenproof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over high heat. Add fish, skin-side down if there's skin, and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer salmon to a plate, browned-side up. (Don't sear the other side; the salmon will finish cooking in the oven.)
- Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Stir in onions and cook until lightly golden, 3 minutes. Add snap peas and a pinch each of salt and pepper, stirring everything to coat with pan juices. Cook until peas have softened and browned slightly, 5 to 7 minutes. Put salmon, browned-side up, on top of peas and transfer pan to the oven. Roast until fish is just cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes longer.
- Squeeze a little lime juice over salmon and transfer fish to serving plates. Stir herbs into peas and onions. Taste, and add more salt and lime juice, if needed. Serve with the salmon, with the lime wedges on the side.

MOM'S SALMON AND POTATO BAKE
During World War II when meat was scarce, my mother used to feed her large family casseroles using whatever meat or fish was available. My favorite is a type of baked casserole with salmon and potato which not only tasted great, but one which satisfied her family of seven kids.

SHEET-PAN HARISSA SALMON WITH POTATOES AND CITRUS
In this 30-minute recipe, harissa, ginger and orange are combined to create a vibrant, spicy marinade for rich salmon fillets. The potatoes and red onion get a jump-start roasting, while the fish takes a quick dip in the marinade. Then the salmon is added to the sheet pan so everything finishes cooking together. This meal looks impressive right on the pan, so serve it from there and cut down on cleanup. You've got better things to do.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Lay salmon on a plate, and season with salt and pepper. In a shallow bowl, whisk together harissa, ginger, garlic, orange zest and juice. Spoon the mixture over the flesh and sides of the fish, and let marinate at room temperature.
- Meanwhile, line a sheet pan with parchment paper (or use a nonstick sheet pan). In a large bowl, toss together the potatoes and onion with the olive oil, and season well with salt and pepper. Arrange them on the sheet pan in 1 layer, leaving 4 spaces for the salmon fillets to be added later. Roast until the potatoes are beginning to brown and are almost cooked through, about 20 minutes.
- Add the salmon to the sheet pan skin-side down, and roast until the fish is opaque and cooked through and the potatoes are crisp, about 8 minutes more. Scatter cilantro and scallions over everything, and season with flaky salt.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon: Look for wild-caught salmon if possible, as it is generally considered to be healthier and more flavorful than farm-raised salmon.
- Cook the salmon properly: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it carefully to avoid overcooking it. The best way to cook salmon is to bake it in the oven or pan-fry it over medium heat.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your dish will taste. When selecting potatoes, look for firm, smooth potatoes that are free of blemishes. Red onions should be firm and have a deep red color.
- Season the salmon and vegetables well: Don't be afraid to use salt and pepper to season the salmon and vegetables. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic, thyme, or rosemary, to taste.
- Serve the salmon and vegetables immediately: Salmon and vegetables are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that the salmon is still moist and flaky and the vegetables are still crisp and tender.
Conclusion:
Salmon with potatoes and red onions is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your salmon grilled, baked, or pan-fried, you are sure to enjoy this flavorful dish.
