ROASTED SALMON WITH MINT-CAPER PESTO
When you roast a piece of salmon properly, the result is so tender it verges on buttery. Succulent spring onions, cooked with the fish until they're caramelized, are the perfect accompaniment.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F with racks in upper and lower thirds. Coat 2 rimmed baking sheets with 1 tablespoon oil each. Divide shallots and scallions between sheets and drizzle each with 2 tablespoons oil; season generously with kosher salt and pepper. Roast, rotating pans and switching racks halfway through, until bottoms of alliums are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven; reduce temperature to 325°F. Let alliums cool, then consolidate on one sheet.
- Place salmon on top of alliums on sheet. Brush with 2 tablespoons oil; season with kosher salt and pepper. Roast on lower rack until partially opaque in center, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine remaining 1/2 cup oil, mint, almonds, capers, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a mini food processor or blender, and purée until smooth.
- Remove salmon and alliums from oven; carefully transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with flaky salt and serve with lemon wedges and pesto.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees, with rack in upper third. Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle both sides of each fillet with 1/4 teaspoon salt; season evenly with pepper. Bake until opaque but still bright pink in the middle, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Meanwhile, make relish: In a small bowl, stir together shallot, capers, lemon zest and juice, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; season with pepper. Add oil, parsley, and mixed herbs; toss to combine.
- Place asparagus in a steamer basket set over a pot of simmering water; steam until spears are crisp-tender and bright green, 3 to 4 minutes. Divide asparagus among serving plates. Place a salmon fillet on each plate next to asparagus, and spoon relish on top of fish.

ROASTED SALMON WITH GREEN HERBS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Place the salmon fillet in a glass, ceramic, or stainless-steel roasting dish and season it generously with salt and pepper. Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice and drizzle the mixture evenly over the salmon. Let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, stir together the scallions, dill, and parsley. Scatter the herb mixture over the salmon fillet, turning it so that both sides are generously coated with the green herbs. Pour the wine around the fish fillet.
- Roast the salmon for 10 to 12 minutes, until almost cooked in the center at the thickest part. The center will be firm with just a line of uncooked salmon in the very center. (I peek by inserting the tip of a small knife.) Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Cut the salmon crosswise into serving pieces and serve hot with lemon wedges.
PESTO SALMON
This salmon recipe is so simple and yet extremely impressive; I often serve it to company or on special occasions and I'm always asked for the recipe. I serve it with angel hair pasta (lightly tossed with fresh herbs and olive oil), a basic spring mix salad with vinegarette, and a crusty, hearty garlic bread - enjoy!
