SLOW-ROASTED SALMON WITH MUSTARD PARSLEY GLAZE image

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lime
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened, plus additional for buttering the roasting pan
3 tablespoons fine dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
1 teaspoon honey
8 five-ounce pieces center-cut salmon fillet, skinned
Salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Steps:

With a vegetable peeler remove zest from half the lime in long 1/2-inch wide pieces. Diagonally cut pieces into very thin julienne strips. In a small saucepan bring water and sugar to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add zest and simmer 10 minutes. Drain well. Finely chop enough of the candied lime peel to measure 1 1/2 teaspoons. Stir together with other glaze ingredients until combined well. Put a rack in middle of oven and preheat oven to 225 degrees. Butter a roasting pan large enough to hold the salmon without crowding. Arrange the salmon skinned side down in the roasting pan and sprinkle with salt and white pepper. Spread mustard glaze evenly over salmon. Roast until the fish is just cooked through (it will turn opaque), 25 to 30 minutes.
