Best Herb Crusted Salmon With Sweet Corn And Mushrooms Recipes

HERB CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Blend the tarragon with bread crumbs, salt and pepper, to taste, in a food processor, pulsing in the dill last. Remove and stir in just enough melted butter to create the consistency of wet sand.
• Pat the salmon dry and season on all sides with salt and pepper, to taste. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large saute pan and sear the salmon, flesh side down, over medium- high heat, about 2 minutes. Do not crowd pan. Flip and top each fillet with the herb/crumb mixture. Put the pan in the oven and bake until the fish flakes with a fork. About 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer the fish to a platter and serve immediately.

SALMON WITH SAUTéED MUSHROOMS, SHALLOTS AND FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300ºF. Cover a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil the foil. Place the salmon on top. Season with salt and pepper. Fill a roasting pan with boiling water and place it on the oven floor.
• Place the salmon in the oven and bake until the fish flakes and white bubbles of protein appear on the surface, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the fillets. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, cook the mushrooms. Heat a large, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. When the oil is hot (you can feel the heat when you hold your hand above the pan), add the mushrooms and cook, stirring or tossing in the pan, for a few minutes, until they begin to soften and sweat. Add the remaining oil, turn the heat to medium, and add the shallots, garlic, and herbs. Stir together, add 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and cook, stirring often, for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the shallots and garlic have softened and the mixture is fragrant. Add the wine and cook, stirring often and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the wine has just about evaporated. Taste and adjust seasonings. Remove from the heat.
• Serve the salmon with a spoonful of mushrooms on top or on the side.

GRILLED SALMON WITH CORN AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Prepare the vegetables: Clean the mushrooms with a dry cloth, then cut off the stems (if using shiitakes) and cut into bite-sized pieces. Set aside. Peel the corn and remove the cornsilk. Then cut the kernels directly into a bowl, starting at the top of the husk and moving down.
• For the sauce: Preheat a dry skillet on high heat for 1 minute. While the pan is heating, prepare the tarragon by removing the leaves (save the stems for making stock), then finely chop. Trim the chives (save the ends for making stock), then finely chop. Set aside. Add oil to the heated skillet and add mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and cook until lightly browned. Add the corn, followed by chicken stock or clam juice, and bring to a boil. Add butter while the sauce is boiling to emulsify and create a sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then add the lemon juice. Add the herbs and set aside.
• Grill the salmon: Preheat grill on high heat with the lid on. Season salmon with salt and pepper and coat with oil on both sides. Scrape the grill clean and lightly swipe with an oiled rag. Place the fish on the grill, skin side down, and grill 2-3 minutes with the lid closed. Then use a large fork to flip and turn salmon 45 degrees to make cross hatching grill marks. (The salmon should not stick when it's ready to be flipped.) Cook 2-3 more minutes; salmon will be done when it's opaque in appearance and firm to the touch while translucent in the middle. Remove and set aside.
• Plate the dish: Divide the corn and butter sauce among 4 plates and top each with a piece of salmon. Spritz the salmon with lemon just before serving.

SAUTEED SALMON WITH SWEET CORN

Steps:

• Remove the stems from the mushrooms, and reserve them from the sauce. If the mushrooms are large, halve or quarter them.
• Skewer the garlic clove securely onto the tines of a fork. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. When the oil just begins to smoke, add the spinach. Cook, stirring with the fork, until wilted. Season with salt and pepper, and place in a colander to drain.
• In the same pan, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter. Saute the mushrooms, stirring with the fork, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the corn, and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Arrange the spinach in the center of 4 plates. Surround the spinach with the corn mixture. Keep warm. Heat the remaining oil and butter in the pan over high heat. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, and saute until medium-rare, about 2 minutes per side.
• Place a salmon fillet atop the spinach on each plate. Spoon the sauce over the salmon, garnish with chives, and serve immediately.

HERB CRUSTED SALMON AND ARTICHOKES SAUTEED IN HERB-INFUSED BUTTER

Steps:

• For the salmon: Oil the bottom of a casserole dish. Place salmon in dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Chop and combine the following in a bowl: shallots, garlic, herbs, lemon zest, chile, lemon juice, olive oil. Cover salmon with mixture, and place in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a fork pulls out smoothly from thickest part of the salmon.
• For the artichokes sauteed in herb infused butter: In a large skillet over medium high heat, add butter and oil. Saute onions, garlic, chile, herbs, reduce heat, making sure garlic doesn't burn. Once oil is infused, place artichoke, heart side down, into oil. Saute for a few minutes, and then add enough water to steam them. Cover and reduce heat. Steam artichokes gently for up to 2 hours, or until flesh removes from leaves easily. More water will need to be added to the pan periodically. Serve with lemon-garlic-butter for dipping.

PANKO-CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• In a small bowl, mix together the panko, parsley, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil and stir until the crumbs are evenly coated. Set aside.
• Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, on a board. Generously brush the top of the fillets with mustard and then sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Press the panko mixture thickly on top of the mustard on each salmon fillet. The mustard will help the panko adhere.
• Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or large heavy, ovenproof pan. When the oil is very hot, add the salmon fillets, skin side down, and sear for 3 to 4 minutes, without turning, to brown the skin.
• Transfer the pan to the hot oven for 5 to 7 minutes until the salmon is almost cooked and the panko is browned. Remove from the oven, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve the salmon hot or at room temperature with lemon wedges.

HERB-CRUSTED SALMON WITH ROASTED LEMONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Toss panko with herbs and 1 tablespoon oil.
• Place salmon (skin down) on parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread evenly with mustard; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with reserved panko mixture, patting gently. Scatter lemons around salmon and drizzle them with oil.
• Roast salmon until it flakes easily, 18 to 20 minutes. With a large spatula, loosen it from skin (which should stick to parchment). Transfer fish to platter and garnish with roasted lemons.
