Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ teaspoon sweet paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
4 (6 to 8-ounce portions) salmon fillets, skin on
1 bunch Tuscan kale (about 8 ounces), stems removed, leaves torn into bite-sized pieces
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon honey
Grated zest and juice of 1 lime

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and set an oven rack in the lower-middle position.
  • Prepare the Salmon: In a small bowl, combine the paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, dry mustard, oregano, and ¾ teaspoon salt; stir until evenly mixed and no lumps remain. Use 1 tablespoon of the oil to grease a rimmed sheet pan. Place the salmon filets, skin-side down, on the pan, leaving space between them; drizzle the salmon with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the salmon.
  • Prepare the Kale: In a medium bowl, using tongs, toss the kale with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, the minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Arrange it all around (but not covering) the salmon; it's okay to pile it up a bit, as it will shrink significantly as it roasts.
  • Place the pan on the lower-middle rack and roast for 12 to 14 minutes for medium-cooked salmon. (If you prefer your salmon medium-rare, cook 10 to 12 minutes. For well-done, cook 15 to 17 minutes.) Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle the honey over the fish. Then sprinkle the lime zest and juice over the fish. Serve immediately.

DILL-SPICED SALMON



Dill-Spiced Salmon image

Salmon with dill is the Swedish equivalent to American meat loaf. When I was growing up in Sweden, it was the weeknight dish that every family had almost every week. I still love the simplicity of this dish, although I now kick up the heat a few notches with a few dashes of chile powder. I love to pair this salmon with my raw kale salad; the mix of kale and root vegetables makes a salad that's not only healthy, but restaurant-level impressive. This cooking technique will give you salmon that's creamy, almost custardy. If you prefer it more well done, leave it in the skillet for a few more minutes.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
1 1/2 tablespoons chile powder
1 tablespoon coriander seeds, finely ground
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, finely ground
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
Four 6-ounce skin-on sushi-grade salmon fillets, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon, cut into wedges, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the dill, chile powder, coriander, cumin, along with a generous pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Transfer half of the spice mixture to a medium bowl and stir in the mustard to make a paste.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir the toasted garlic butter into the paste.
  • Season the salmon fillets with salt and the dry spice blend on both sides.
  • Wipe out the large skillet. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in the olive oil in the large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • When the oil shimmers, add the salmon fillets, skin-side down. Add 1 tablespoon butter and about half of the lemon wedges. Cook, continuously spooning the pan liquid over the fillets, until the skin is crispy, about 4 minutes. You'll see the color changing as the salmon cooks from the bottom.
  • Flip the salmon, add 1 tablespoon butter, spread the paste on the skin with a rubber spatula and cook, continuously spooning the pan liquid over the fillets, until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Squeeze the remaining half of the lemon wedges over the fillets. Transfer the fillets to a plate and spoon over the sauce. Garnish with fresh dill and serve with lemon wedges. Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving if desired.

3 tablespoons EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil)
1 red onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
