Best Slow Roasted Salmon With Green Sauce Recipes

SLOW-COOKED SALMON WITH SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 275 degrees F. Brush a half sheet pan with olive oil.
• Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared half sheet pan and place in the oven. Cook for 15 minutes for medium rare (110 degrees F). If you prefer your salmon a little more cooked, continue to cook for another 5 to 10 minutes.
• In the meantime, make the salsa verde. In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients with 1/2 cup of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and let stand at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld, if time allows.

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.

SLOW-ROASTED SALMON WITH HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare the salmon for roasting: Preheat oven to 225 degrees F. Remove the salmon skin by cutting a flap of skin from the tail end. Hold the skin with a kitchen towel for a good grip, then hold the knife at a 30-degree angle downward to the cutting board between the skin and the flesh. Move the towel back and forth so the knife cuts through the salmon without cutting off much of the flesh. Using tweezers or needle-nose pliers, pull out any small bones left in the salmon, then cut fillet into 4 even slices at an angle. Place salmon fillets into a shallow roasting pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt. Rub the fish with the oil to evenly coat, then place on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes, checking after 10 minutes. Note: If the fish is cold from the refrigerator, let it come to room temp, about 30 minutes, before baking.
• Make the beurre blanc sauce and prepare the herbs: In a medium saucepan, add the shallot, white wine, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until liquid has reduced by half. While the liquid is reducing, chop the herbs. Any combination of herbs will work as long as they're chopped roughly (not finely), to preserve their character and flavor. Once the liquid has reduced, whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, to thicken the sauce.
• Finish the sauce and assemble the dish: Salmon is cooked when it's flaking apart gently and no longer raw in the middle. Set aside. Finish the sauce by pouring it into a blender to break up the shallots and create a better emulsion with the butter. Pour back into the pan over low heat and add the herbs. Place a salmon fillet on a serving plate, ladle herb sauce on top. Garnish with the additional fresh herbs and serve.

BARBECUED SALMON FILLETS

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Cook vegetables until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes; cook vegetables until very tender, about 10 minutes more. Add tomato paste, molasses, honey, sugar, mustard, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, cayenne pepper, and 2 cups water; stir to combine. Simmer gently until thickened, about 30 minutes. Transfer to the bowl of a food processor or blender; puree until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium hot. Season fish with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Brush generously with sauce. Grill until fish is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. When fish is done, remove and discard skin. Serve over pilaf drizzled with reserved sauce.
