Best Salmon Slices With Confits Of Citrus Chez Nico Recipes

SHEET-PAN SALMON NIçOISE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Spray large rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray.
• In small bowl, make dressing by beating shallot, garlic, vinegar, lemon juice, thyme, 1/8 teaspoon of the salt and pepper with whisk. Slowly beat in olive oil.
• In large bowl, toss potatoes with 2 teaspoons of the dressing; season with 1/8 teaspoon of the salt. Place potatoes skin side up in single layer on pan. Roast potatoes 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Turn potatoes skin side down, and make room for salmon, tomatoes and artichoke hearts.
• Place salmon skin side down on pan; drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the dressing, and season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. In same large bowl, mix tomatoes and artichoke hearts with 1 tablespoon of the dressing, and toss to coat. Add vegetables to pan around salmon and potatoes. Roast 12 to 15 minutes or until salmon is cooked through, flakes easily with fork, and potatoes are fork-tender. Toss cooked green beans with remaining dressing (about 2 teaspoons), and add to pan. Place in oven 2 minutes. Top with olives.

CITRUSY ROASTED SALMON AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Set a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 425 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, clementine or mandarin juice, lime juice, cilantro, shallot and garlic; set aside citrus sauce.
• Scrub the potatoes and slice them into ¼-inch-thick rounds. In a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet (or similar oven-safe pan), fan out the potato rounds, overlapping them a little, to cover the surface of the skillet. Season well with salt (about 1 to 1½ teaspoons) and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle on a few red-pepper flakes. Stir the oil and citrus juice mixture to combine again, and spoon half of the sauce over the potatoes. Place the skillet in the oven and roast for 20 minutes, until the edges start to turn golden.
• Remove the skillet from the oven, season the salmon well with salt (about 1½ teaspoons) and pepper to taste and place the salmon on top of the potatoes, skin side down. Sprinkle with a few more red-pepper flakes. Spoon the rest of the citrus sauce over the salmon and top the fish with the citrus slices. Place the skillet back in the oven and roast until the salmon is cooked through to your liking, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon.
