SLOW ROASTED SALMON WITH SAGE AND PARSLEY PISTOU

Slow Roasted Salmon with Sage and Parsley Pistou image

A pistou is a French sauce that is similar to pesto, but without nuts and often without cheese. The base of this pistou is a garlic and sage oil that is also rubbed on the salmon before cooking. Dressed in slightly spicy pink peppercorns, the salmon get intense flavor and color from the herby, deep green pistou.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, smashed
2 whole sprigs fresh sage, plus 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh sage
One 3-pound salmon fillet, in one piece
1 tablespoon pink peppercorns, crushed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups fresh parsley leaves
2 tablespoons cider vinegar

Steps:

Combine the oil, garlic and 2 sprigs of sage in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook at a bare simmer until the garlic is soft and lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Set aside to cool. When cooled, strain the oil into a bowl; reserve the garlic but discard the sage.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Rub a rimmed baking sheet with 2 teaspoons of the garlic-flavored oil and place the salmon skin-side down on the sheet. Rub with 1 tablespoon of the flavored oil and sprinkle with the pink peppercorns, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Roast until the salmon is just cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
While the salmon cooks, in the bowl of a food processor, combine the chopped sage, parsley and reserved garlic. Pulse a few times until chunky. Add the vinegar, 3/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Pulse again to combine. With the motor running, drizzle in the remaining flavored oil through the feed tube. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor. The finished pistou should be smooth and bright green; keep processing until the oil looks completely combined. Scrape into a serving bowl.
Divide the salmon into 8 pieces or, to serve it family style, use 2 large spatulas to slide it whole onto a large platter. Serve the salmon with the pistou on the side.
Cook's Note: You can make the pistou several hours ahead and refrigerate. Allow it to come back to room temperature before serving it and stir it well to reincorporate any oil that has separated out.

SLOW-ROASTED SALMON WITH MUSHROOM-LEEK BROTH

Slow-Roasted Salmon With Mushroom-Leek Broth image

This warming dish is inspired by Japanese ochazuke, a comforting bowl of rice with green tea poured on top. Traditionally, the meal may also be finished with grilled fish, sashimi or other toppings, but there is room for variation: You could swap out the hot tea for dashi, broth or other liquids. In this approach, the salmon is slow-roasted - which helps render some of the fat and keeps the fish meltingly tender - while a light shiitake mushroom and leek broth simmers. Divide cooked rice among bowls, spoon the salmon and vegetable broth on top, and finish with fresh ginger and a drizzle of sesame oil.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 (1 1/2-pound) piece skin-on or skinless salmon
2 tablespoons sesame oil, plus more for serving
Kosher salt
2 medium leeks, trimmed, white and light greens cut crosswise into 1-inch rounds (about 2 cups)
8 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, destemmed and sliced
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups cooked short-grain white rice
Fresh ginger, peeled and cut into very thin matchsticks, for serving

Steps:

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Place salmon on a baking sheet. Drizzle salmon with 1 tablespoon sesame oil, sprinkle with salt and roast in the oven until cooked, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove salmon from the oven and let it rest another 5 minutes.
While the salmon roasts, heat remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a pot over medium. Add leeks and mushrooms, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks and mushrooms are lightly golden on the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. (Don't worry if the pan seems dry, the moisture that comes out of the mushrooms and leeks will help steam the vegetables and keep them from burning.)
Add chicken broth and simmer until the broth is infused with mushroom flavor and leeks are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt.
To serve, divide rice among bowls. Scoop salmon by the spoonful onto the rice, and ladle vegetables and broth over salmon and rice. Top with ginger and a drizzle of sesame oil.

Tips:

Choose a sustainable and preferably wild-caught salmon fillet for the best flavor and texture.
Use a sharp knife to score the salmon skin, allowing the marinade to penetrate and the fish to cook evenly.
Make sure the marinade is well combined and flavorful. You can adjust the honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil quantities to your taste.
Let the salmon marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to overnight, to infuse it with delicious flavors.
Roast the salmon on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet to make cleanup easier. Alternatively, you can use a greased baking dish.
To achieve a crispy skin, make sure the oven is preheated to a high temperature before roasting the salmon.
Keep an eye on the salmon while it's roasting to prevent overcooking. The ideal internal temperature for cooked salmon is 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Allow the salmon to rest for a few minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute throughout the fish.

Conclusion:

Slow-roasted sesame salmon is an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The combination of sweet, savory, and slightly tangy flavors creates a dish that is sure to impress. Serve the salmon with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad. Enjoy this flavorful and satisfying meal that showcases the natural goodness of salmon.
