SPICED SALMON WITH SUGAR SNAP PEAS AND RED ONION



Spiced Salmon With Sugar Snap Peas and Red Onion image

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.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
1 teaspoon baharat spice blend , or use another warm and earthy spice blend, such as garam masala
4 (6- to 8-ounce) salmon fillets
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 medium red onions
1 pound sugar snap peas (4 cups)
Lime wedges
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro or mint leaves and tender stems

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.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
8 radishes, cut into thin wedges
8 cups baby arugula (about 5 ounces)
1 cup broccoli sprouts or alfalfa sprouts
8 ounces smoked salmon, torn into bite-size pieces
2 cups bagel chips, slightly crushed
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Kosher salt
4 large eggs
3/4 pound sugar snap peas, halved crosswise
1/2 cup milk
4 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 small clove garlic

Steps:

  • Make pickled onions: Toss the onions with 2 tablespoons each vinegar and cold water and a large pinch of salt in a small bowl. Let sit for at least 30 minutes, tossing occasionally. (The onions will turn bright pink.) Strain.
  • Cook the eggs and peas: Put the eggs in a medium saucepan, and add water to cover by an inch. Bring to a boil, add the peas, cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10 minutes. Run the eggs and peas under cold water to cool. Remove the eggshells and roughly chop the eggs.
  • Make the dressing: Pulse the milk, cream cheese, mayonnaise, remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth. Pour the mixture into a small bowl, and stir in the sesame seeds, poppy seeds and onion flakes. Refrigerate the dressing, covered, until ready to serve.
  • Assemble the salads: Using four 32-ounce wide-mouthed glass jars with lids, evenly divide the radishes among the jars, then add the following in separate layers: the arugula, sprouts, smoked salmon, peas, chopped eggs and pickled onions. Pack the dressing and bagel chips (1 serving is about 1/3 cup dressing and 1/2 cup chips) in separate small containers for transporting.
  • Just before serving, transfer the jarred ingredients to a large bowl, add the bagel chips, toss with the dressing and season with salt and pepper.

Provided by Jennifer Irvine

Categories     Main course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 x 100g salmon fillets (plus 2 more 100g salmon fillets if cooking for Flaked salmon salad lunch - see 'goes well with')
2 tsp reduced salt tamari or soy sauce
2cm piece ginger, peeled and finely chopped or grated
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tbsp lemon or lime juice
1 tsp sesame oil
85g vermicelli rice noodle
2 tsp rapeseed oil
1 tsp sesame oil
1 spring onion, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
½ red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
2cm piece ginger, peeled and finely chopped
100g sugar snap pea
100g pak choi (or spinach)
1 large red pepper, sliced
1 tsp tamari or soy sauce
1 tsp Thai fish sauce
juice ½ lime
1 tbsp finely chopped coriander

Steps:

  • Make the marinade by mixing together all the ingredients. Place the salmon fillets in a small bowl and spoon over the marinade, turning the fish so that it's nicely coated. Cover with cling film and leave to sit for 10 mins (or longer if you have time).
  • Meanwhile, cook the noodles following pack instructions, then drain and sit them in a bowl of cold water.
  • Heat a non-stick frying pan. Add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and leave for 3 mins. When the fish is slightly crispy, flip over and cook for a further 3 mins on the other side. Just before you remove the fish from the pan, add any remaining marinade and let it sizzle for 10 secs. Place 2 of the fillets, skin-side up, with their juices on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Put the other 2 fillets on another plate if using for Flaked salmon salad (see 'goes well with'), cover with foil, leave to cool, then chill.
  • In a frying pan or wok, heat the rapeseed and sesame oils over a high heat. Add the spring onion, garlic, chilli and ginger, and stir constantly for about 1 min. Add the sugar snap peas, pak choi and pepper, and stir for another 1-2 mins, then add the cooked noodles. Toss well, then add the soy sauce, fish sauce and lime juice, and mix until well combined and the pan is sizzling.
  • Remove from the heat and divide between 2 bowls. Top each with a salmon fillet and drizzle over any juices. Sprinkle with coriander and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Choose the right salmon: Look for salmon that is fresh and has a bright pink color. Avoid salmon that is gray or has dark spots.
  • Cook the salmon properly: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. The best way to cook salmon is to pan-sear it or bake it in the oven.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Sugar snap peas and red onions should be cooked until they are tender-crisp. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro and basil, can add a lot of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less since they are more concentrated.

Conclusion:

This spiced salmon with sugar snap peas and red onion is a healthy and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The salmon is cooked perfectly and the vegetables are tender-crisp. The flavors in this dish are well-balanced and the sauce is light and flavorful. If you are looking for a new salmon recipe to try, this one is definitely worth a try.
