Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 47m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (2- to 2 1/2-pound) skinless salmon fillet
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup good olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup minced scallions, white and green parts (4 scallions)
1/2 cup minced fresh dill
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 cup dry white wine
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Place the salmon fillet in a glass, ceramic, or stainless-steel roasting dish and season it generously with salt and pepper. Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice and drizzle the mixture evenly over the salmon. Let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the scallions, dill, and parsley. Scatter the herb mixture over the salmon fillet, turning it so that both sides are generously coated with the green herbs. Pour the wine around the fish fillet.
  • Roast the salmon for 10 to 12 minutes, until almost cooked in the center at the thickest part. The center will be firm with just a line of uncooked salmon in the very center. (I peek by inserting the tip of a small knife.) Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Cut the salmon crosswise into serving pieces and serve hot with lemon wedges.

WILD SALMON WITH GREEN SAUCE



Wild Salmon With Green Sauce image

Wild salmon, green beans, new potatoes and herbs: simple seasonal ingredients for an epic summer dining experience. The most important thing here is not to overcook the salmon. Whether baked or grilled, it is ready as soon as you see white juices rising to the surface, which means the fish will be succulent, not dry. It is better to err on the rare side.

Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 pounds wild salmon fillet, such as King or sockeye, skin on
Salt and pepper
Olive oil
2 pounds new potatoes
1 pound haricots verts, or a mixture of small green and yellow beans
1 shallot, finely diced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Zest and juice of 1 small Meyer lemon
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and roughly chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1/4 cup finely chopped chervil, or a mixture of parsley and tarragon
Lettuce leaves
2 hard-cooked (9-minute) eggs, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Using pliers, remove pin bones from salmon (or have your fishmonger do it). Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Place on baking sheet skin side down and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Set aside at room temperature. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Scrub potatoes and simmer in well-salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
  • Top and tail the haricots verts and simmer in well-salted water until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Spread out on a platter to cool (or rinse briefly in cool water) and leave at room temperature.
  • Make the sauce verte: Put shallot in a small bowl with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cover with the red wine vinegar. Macerate 5 minutes, then stir in lemon zest and juice, mustard and capers. Whisk in 1/2 cup olive oil. Just before serving, add parsley, chervil and black pepper to taste.
  • Bake salmon, uncovered, until just done, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly. Put beans in a medium bowl, season with salt and pepper, and dress with 2 tablespoons sauce verte. Line a platter with lettuce leaves, if using, then make a pile of beans. With a spatula, lift salmon from skin, then place on top of beans. Dab salmon with 2 more tablespoons sauce verte, garnish with chopped egg and serve. Pass potatoes and remaining sauce separately.

SLOW-ROASTED SALMON WITH HARISSA



Slow-Roasted Salmon With Harissa image

The first time we ran a recipe for slow-cooked salmon poached in olive oil, surrounded by fennel and citrus slices, and casually pulled apart, readers swooned. We swooned! It became an instant, oft-imitated classic. We've riffed on it ourselves, running flavor variations over the years, including this new one. The reason it has become such a staple: The low temp and abundance of olive oil make it nearly impossible to overcook. You'll forget there's any other way.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Quick & Easy     Quick and Healthy     Seafood     Fish     Salmon     Chile Pepper     Lemon

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup harissa paste (preferably New York Shuk)
1 garlic clove, grated
1 lemon, halved
1 (2-lb.) skinless center-cut salmon fillet
Kosher salt
Mixed tender herbs (such as parsley, cilantro, dill, and/or chives; for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275°F. Whisk oil, harissa, and garlic in a medium bowl. Pour half of harissa oil into a 2.5-qt. baking dish and swirl to coat. Thinly slice a lemon half and remove any seeds; scatter slices in dish.
  • Season salmon on all sides with salt and place in dish. Pour remaining harissa oil over salmon, spreading evenly over flesh with a pastry brush or spoon. Roast 15 minutes. Remove from oven and baste fish with harissa oil pooled in dish. Return to oven and continue to roast until flesh flakes apart easily with a spoon but is not quite cooked through, 10-20 minutes longer.
  • Use spoon to break up salmon into irregular pieces. Arrange salmon and lemon slices on a platter. Drizzle with any harissa oil left in dish, squeeze remaining lemon half over, and scatter some herbs around.

COLD ROAST SALMON WITH SMASHED GREEN BEAN SALAD



Cold Roast Salmon with Smashed Green Bean Salad image

Roasting salmon low and slow yields fish that stays moist and tender even when served chilled. A raw green bean salad is a perfect crunchy accompaniment; our trick for smashing and marinating the beans softens their texture and flavors them inside and out.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Seafood     Fish     Salmon     Green Bean     Radish     Lemon     Dinner     Summer     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (3 1/2-3 3/4-lb.) whole side of salmon
7 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for serving
4 tsp. kosher salt, divided, plus more
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes, divided
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 lb. green beans, trimmed
1 bunch radishes, preferably French breakfast, trimmed
1 cup coarsely chopped salted, roasted pistachios
Freshly ground black pepper
Flaky sea salt
Lemon wedges (for serving)
Lemony Yogurt Sauce and/or Grilled Serrano Salsa Verde (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Place salmon on a rimmed baking sheet and rub 2 Tbsp. oil over each side. Season all over with black pepper, 2 tsp. kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes. Arrange skin side down and roast until a tester, metal skewer, or thin-bladed knife inserted laterally through salmon flesh meets no resistance, 20-25 minutes. (Fish should be opaque throughout and just able to flake.) Let cool.
  • While salmon is roasting, make the salad. Whisk lemon juice, 3 Tbsp. oil, 2 tsp. kosher salt, and remaining 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes in a large bowl to combine. Set dressing aside.
  • Working in batches, place green beans in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal bag and whack beans with a rolling pin to split the skins and soften the insides without completely pulverizing the flesh. Place in bowl with reserved dressing. Toss, massaging with your hands to break beans down further and coat. Let sit at room temperature at least 1 hour.
  • Thinly slice radishes lengthwise. Place in a large bowl of ice water, cover, and chill until ready to serve (this will allow you to get the prep out of the way and keep the radishes crisp and firm).
  • Just before serving, drain radishes and toss with marinated green beans. Add pistachios; taste salad and season with pepper if needed. Transfer to a platter and drizzle with oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Using 2 spatulas, carefully transfer salmon to another platter, leaving skin behind on baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and squeeze juice from a lemon wedge or two over; sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with more lemon wedges and Lemony Yogurt Sauce and/or Grilled Serrano Salsa Verde alongside.
  • Do Ahead
  • Salmon can be roasted and green beans can be marinated 1 day ahead; cover and chill separately. About 45 minutes before serving, remove green beans from the fridge and let sit at room temperature to warm up a bit. Radishes can be sliced 1 day ahead; keep chilled.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Salmon: Choose a fresh, high-quality salmon fillet with vibrant color and a mild, fresh scent. Opt for wild-caught salmon for its superior flavor and health benefits.
  • Achieving Perfect Roast: Roast the salmon at a moderate temperature (375°F) to ensure even cooking throughout without overcooking. Use a roasting pan or baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Flavorful Marinade: Enhance the salmon's flavor by marinating it in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for deeper flavor infusion.
  • Crispy Skin: To achieve crispy skin, pat the salmon dry before roasting. Consider scoring the skin to allow the marinade and heat to penetrate deeper, resulting in a beautifully browned and crispy outer layer.
  • Don't Overcook: Salmon is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Keep a close eye on it during roasting to prevent overcooking, which can result in dry, tough flesh. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium.
  • Green Sauce Versatility: The green sauce is a versatile condiment that pairs well with salmon. Experiment with different herbs and vegetables to create variations of the sauce, such as using cilantro, dill, or arugula instead of basil, or adding chopped capers or roasted red peppers for a tangy twist.

Conclusion:

Slow-roasted salmon with green sauce is an elegant and flavorful dish that showcases the natural beauty and taste of fresh salmon.
