Best Roasted Salmon With Peppercorn Sauce Recipes

SALMON WELLINGTON WITH RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Clean and stem the spinach. Heat the olive oil in a skillet. Saute the garlic for a few minutes before adding the spinach, salt and pepper. Cook the spinach only until wilted. Set aside.
• Take 5 by 5-inch sheet of puff pastry. Place spinach in the center of the pastry. Place a salmon fillet, better side down on the spinach. Wrap the pastry by bringing the opposite corners of pastry into the center, until salmon and spinach are covered. Brush lightly with egg wash.
• Turn the Wellingtons over, so that the flat, smooth side is the top. Brush top with egg wash. Place on a baking tray lined with the parchment paper and bake 15 to 18 minutes or until pastry has turned golden brown. Serve with Red Pepper Sauce, recipe follows
• Red Pepper Sauce: To roast peppers, place whole, uncut peppers over an open flame until the skin begins to blister and turn black, turning to get all sides. Take roasted peppers off flame, and put immediately into a brown paper bag to steam them. Let them remain in bag for approximately 10 minutes, then remove from bag. The blackened skin should peel right off the peppers.
• Saute the first 5 ingredients until peppers are soft. Take off the heat and add the heavy cream, then stir gently to warm. Put mixture into blender or food processor and puree. Strain through a china cap and set aside.
• Roux: Combine 1 stick of butter with 1 cup of flour in a saucepan, and cook over heat until mixture combines and turns a golden brown. Add roux to red pepper mixture a teaspoon at a time to thicken, being careful not to add too much.

SHEET PAN SALMON AND BELL PEPPER DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a sheet pan with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• Place salmon fillets, red and yellow bell peppers, and onion on the prepared sheet pan.
• Combine lemon juice, 3 tablespoons olive oil, water, maple syrup, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, cumin, and parsley in a small bowl. Drizzle 2/3 of the sauce over the ingredients on the sheet pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Serve with lemon slices and remaining sauce.

SALMON FILLETS WITH SWEET RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Core and remove the seeds from the red peppers. Cut them into 1/4-inch cubes or strips.
• Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the salmon steaks in one layer.
• Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper to taste. Place the steaks in the pan and cook over high heat until they are lightly browned, about a minute and a half on each side. The time will vary, depending on the thickness of the fish and the doneness desired.
• Transfer the steaks to a warm platter. Leave the cooking butter in the skillet. Add the shallots and the red peppers. Cook, stirring, until wilted.
• Add the wine, reduce by half, add the cream and cook, stirring over medium high heat until reduced again by half. Check the seasoning.
• Add the salmon steaks, the chopped dill and any juices that have accumulated around the steaks, and bring to a simmer. Cook one minute. Do not overcook. Serve immediately with the dill for decoration.

ROASTED SALMON WITH PEPPERCORN SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Use a mortar and pestle (I use a coffee grinder) to grind the ppercorns together with the salt. Or you can use a rolling pin or meat mallet to crush the peppercorns.
• Press peppercorn mixture onto one side of each salmon fillet.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Place several of the salmon fillets, peppercorn side down, into the hot oil. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden. Use a spatula to turn the fillets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Place the fillets into a baking dish. Repeat until all the fillets have been sauteed. You may need to add more oil to the pan.
• Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The salmon should be medium rare in the center.
• Add the sun-dried tomatoes and oil to the skillet. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the white wine and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the butter until just melted. Pour the sauce over the fillets and serve.
