CHEF JOHN'S SALMON

I love the combination of tarragon and Italian parsley, but I've used herbs like basil and thyme, which worked wonderfully as well. As far as the fish goes, a center-cut salmon filet is a perfect thickness for this, but other similarly shaped seafood will work.

Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (8 ounce) center-cut salmon fillets, with skin
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Season salmon fillets with kosher salt. Line a baking baking sheet with foil and brush lightly with vegetable oil.
  • Preheat oven's broiler on high and set the oven rack about 8 inches from the heat source.
  • Process garlic, tarragon, and parsley in a blender or mortar and pestle to form a loose paste.
  • Mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper into garlic paste until combined.
  • Place salmon fillets skin side down on the baking sheet. Spoon herb spread over the top and sides of each fillet.
  • Cook under the preheated broiler until fillets are well-browned, about 5 minutes. Turn the broiler off and turn the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake until the internal temperature of the salmon is 130 degrees F (55 degrees C) and salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 3 to 4 minutes.

You don't need the broiler to make great salmon fillets. A hot oven can produce tender, moist, flaky meat every time. This recipe uses lots of lemon juice and black pepper.

SALMON EN PAPILLOTE (SALMON IN PARCHMENT)



Salmon en Papillote (Salmon in Parchment) image

Salmon cooked en papillote, which means wrapped in a packet of parchment (or foil), is a dramatic way to procure perfectly cooked salmon, but it isn't difficult. Fold a fillet into a cut piece of parchment, and then layer it with seasonings or perhaps vegetables or citrus fruit. Then simply bake the packets until done. The steam created by the parchment produces reliably moist salmon, and opening the individual packets at the table makes for a fun way to start dinner.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 (6- to 8-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
Cut vegetables, fresh herbs and/or slices of lemon, lime or orange
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut 4 large heart-shaped pieces of parchment paper or foil, and place them on a sheet pan. Fold the parchment or foil in half down the middle, place a fillet with its garnishes and seasonings on one side of each, fold the other side over and crimp the rounded edge tightly closed.
  • Place in oven for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how done you'd like to serve the salmon. The packages should puff up and make for dramatic serving.

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (8 ounce) salmon fillet
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup chopped basil leaves
olive oil cooking spray
1 lemon, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the lowest position in oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place salmon fillet with skin side down in the middle of a large piece of parchment paper; season with salt and black pepper. Cut 2 3-inch slits into the fish with a sharp knife. Stuff chopped basil leaves into the slits. Spray fillet with cooking spray and arrange lemon slices on top.
  • Fold edges of parchment paper over the fish several times to seal into an airtight packet. Place sealed packet onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake fish on the bottom rack of oven until salmon flakes easily and meat is pink and opaque with an interior of slightly darker pink color, about 25 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the fillet should read at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). To serve, cut the parchment paper open and remove lemon slices before plating fish.
