Best Salmon With Sesame And Herbs Recipes

SESAME CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Take salmon out of fridge 20 minutes before cooking.
• Preheat oven to 220C/430F (standard) or 200C/390F (fan). Place shelf about 20cm/8" from the broiler heat source at the top of the oven.
• Sprinkle both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper.
• Place sesame in shallow dish. Press salmon into sesame seeds to coat on all sides. Place on tray.
• Drizzle top with oil.
• Bake for 10 minutes. Flick to broiler on high - broil / grill for 3 minutes until the top is a bit golden (or bake for 5 minutes, but won't be as golden). (Note 5)
• Remove from oven, rest 3 minutes. Serve with soba and greens, garnished with scallions (optional) and drizzled with Dressing.

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.

BAKED SALMON WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Line a 15x10x1-in. baking pan with foil; coat foil with cooking spray. Set aside. In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, garlic, Parmesan cheese, parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Add butter; toss to coat evenly., Place salmon on prepared pan. Spray with cooking spray and pat with bread crumb mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

SESAME GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce, honey, ginger, and garlic together in a bowl until marinade is evenly mixed. Set aside 1/4 of the marinade.
• Place salmon fillets in shallow dish; pour the remaining marinade over the salmon. Cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 5 minutes.
• Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Remove salmon from marinade, shaking to remove excess marinade, and place, skin-side up, into the hot oil; cook for 4 minutes. Discard unused marinade in the shallow dish. Flip salmon and drizzle the reserved 1/4 of the marinade over salmon; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip salmon, remove skin, and cook 1 minute more.

SHEET-PAN SALMON AND BROCCOLI WITH SESAME AND GINGER

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk 3 tablespoons sesame oil with the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, ginger and garlic until smooth. Set the glaze aside.
• Place the broccoli florets and 1 1/2-inch scallion segments on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, toss well and roast for 5 minutes.
• While the broccoli and scallions roast, place the salmon fillets on a plate and pat dry with paper towels. Brush all over with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Toss the broccoli and scallions and move to the edges of the pan, clearing spaces in the center for the salmon fillets. Place the salmon fillets, evenly spaced, on the center of the pan. Brush the fillets generously with the glaze.
• Return the pan to the oven and roast until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly rare in the center, about 12 minutes.
• Squeeze the lime over the broccoli and sprinkle with salt. Scatter the sliced scallions and sesame seeds over the salmon, and serve hot.

GLAZED SESAME SALMON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a shallow dish, mix together the chilli sauce, soy, sesame oil, rice wine, garlic and ginger. Lay the pieces of salmon in the marinade, skin-side up, and set aside for 15 mins.
• Put the marinated salmon on a baking tray, skin-side down, and spoon over a little of the leftover marinade. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and roast in the oven for 15 mins, or until done to your liking. Serve with steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables.
