SLOW-ROASTED CITRUS SALMON WITH HERB SALAD



Slow-Roasted Citrus Salmon With Herb Salad image

This is truly the best way to cook salmon. Slowly roasting an already fatty fish in an even more luxurious fat (here, olive oil) makes it nearly impossible to overcook. Plus, you can flavor that oil with whatever you fancy - spices, herbs, citrus, chiles - which, in turn, will flavor the fish. It's a very simple method for cooking any large piece of fish (cod or halibut work well here, too). This makes it the ideal dinner party trick, sitting perfectly in the center of a Venn diagram where "looks impressive" and "not a ton of work" overlap. It also doubles beautifully. Store any leftover salmon in the remaining oil, which will keep it from drying out, and use it to elevate a salad or a bagel with cream cheese.

SALMON WITH HERB AND CITRUS ORZO



Salmon With Herb and Citrus Orzo image

Clipped from a magazine many years ago. This recipe is as written, but I do a couple of things differently. I use dried dill instead of fresh and cut it down to 2 tbsp. I think fresh might be better, but fresh dill is not something I keep on hand. Also, it is important that the lemon zest be fresh, not the dried that you buy in the store. Something happens to lemon zest when it is bottled!

SALMON BURGERS WITH CITRUS HERB SAUCE



SALMON BURGERS WITH CITRUS HERB SAUCE image

Categories     Fish

Number Of Ingredients 18

PATTIES
1 skinless salmon fillet, about 1 pound, pin bones removed, cut into 1-inch pieces
¾ cup panko bread crumbs
¼ cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
SAUCE
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil leaves
1½ tablespoons capers, drained and finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Freshly grated zest of 1 orange
Extra-virgin olive oil
4 hamburger buns, split
4 leaves butter lettuce
2 yellow heirloom tomatoes or red garden tomatoes, each cut into 4 slices

Steps:

  • In a food processor pulse the salmon pieces five to ten times until coarsely chopped (but not finely chopped). Transfer the salmon to a large bowl. Add the remaining patty ingredients, including ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper, and stir gently to combine. With wet hands, form four patties of equal size, each about ¾ inch thick. Arrange the patties on a platter, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour. In a medium bowl mix the sauce ingredients, including ¼ cup oil, and season with salt and pepper. Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (350° to 450°F). Brush the cooking grates clean. Lightly brush the patties on both sides with oil. Grill the patties over direct medium heat, with the lid closed, until nicely browned, 6 to 8 minutes, carefully turning once. During the last minute of grilling time, toast the buns, cut side down, over direct heat. Build each burger on a toasted bun with lettuce, a patty, tomato slices, and sauce. Serve warm.
