Best Citrus Roasted Salmon With Spring Pea Sauce Recipes

SPRING-PEA SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil; add salt. Blanch peas and watercress until bright green, about 45 seconds. Immediately transfer with a slotted spoon to ice-water bath to stop the cooking.
• Drain peas and watercress, then puree in a blender until smooth, adding 4 to 5 tablespoons water to thin (mixture should be just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon). Pass puree through a fine sieve into a small saucepan. Place over low heat, and whisk in butter, 1 teaspoon at a time; whisk until emulsified. Season sauce with salt.

CITRUSY ROASTED SALMON AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Set a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 425 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, clementine or mandarin juice, lime juice, cilantro, shallot and garlic; set aside citrus sauce.
• Scrub the potatoes and slice them into ¼-inch-thick rounds. In a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet (or similar oven-safe pan), fan out the potato rounds, overlapping them a little, to cover the surface of the skillet. Season well with salt (about 1 to 1½ teaspoons) and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle on a few red-pepper flakes. Stir the oil and citrus juice mixture to combine again, and spoon half of the sauce over the potatoes. Place the skillet in the oven and roast for 20 minutes, until the edges start to turn golden.
• Remove the skillet from the oven, season the salmon well with salt (about 1½ teaspoons) and pepper to taste and place the salmon on top of the potatoes, skin side down. Sprinkle with a few more red-pepper flakes. Spoon the rest of the citrus sauce over the salmon and top the fish with the citrus slices. Place the skillet back in the oven and roast until the salmon is cooked through to your liking, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon.

CITRUS-ROASTED SALMON WITH SPRING PEA SAUCE

Steps:

• Finely grate the zest of 2 oranges and 2 lemons. Cut the remaining orange and lemon into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Stir together citrus zests (including lime), sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper, and the coriander in a small bowl.
• Place salmon, skin side down, in a nonreactive (glass or ceramic) baking dish large enough for it to lay flat. Rub spice blend all over salmon. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 2 hours.
• Remove salmon from refrigerator. Wipe off spice blend with paper towels. Let fish stand at room temperature 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F.
• Arrange half the orange and lemon rounds in a single layer in a large roasting pan; place salmon, skin side down, on top. Rub the oil all over salmon. Roast until opaque throughout, about 17 minutes. Remove from oven; cut salmon crosswise into 8 pieces.
• To serve, divide sauce among eight serving plates, and top each with a piece of salmon. Garnish with pea shoots and remaining orange and lemon rounds.
• Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch peas and watercress until bright green, about 45 seconds. Immediately transfer with a slotted spoon to the ice bath to stop the cooking.
• Drain peas and watercress, then puree in a blender until smooth, adding 4 to 5 tablespoons water to thin (mixture should be just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon). Pass puree through a fine sieve into a small saucepan. Place over low heat, and whisk in butter, 1 piece at a time; whisk until emulsified, then remove from heat. Season sauce with 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste). Serve warm.
