WILD SALMON WITH ROSEMARY SWEET POTATOES AND LEMON ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Wash the sweet potatoes. Slice the potatoes and onions 1/4-inch thick.Put sweet potatoes and onions on the baking sheet in a single layer.Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt. Bake for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the garlic,mustard, lemon juice, and rosemary to make a paste and set aside.
• Remove the sweet potatoes and onions from oven (keep in the baking pan). Place the asparagus on the paper around the sweet potatoes and onions. Sprinkle the lemon zest on the asparagus. Lay the salmon on top of the asparagus and onions. Spread the paste on top of the salmon.
• Return the pan to oven and roast for 12 minutes. Salmon is done when the flesh flakes with gentle pressure.

PAN-SEARED SALMON WITH NO-FAIL HOLLANDAISE AND ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat for a couple minutes.
• Salt the boiling water, add the asparagus and cook for 2 minutes. Drain and reserve on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Add the salmon skin-side up to the pan and cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook skin-side down until the skin is crisped and salmon is cooked just past medium-rare, about 6 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the hollandaise sauce: Bring a couple inches of water to a simmer in a small saucepan. Whisk together the egg yolks, mustard, cayenne, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon each of the herbs in a medium metal bowl. Set the bowl over the simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) and whisk until the hollandaise has thickened, about 2 minutes. You can move the saucepan on and off the heat to regulate the temperature, so the eggs don't cook too quickly.
• When the mixture is hot and thickened, gradually add the butter in several batches and whisk after each addition until fully incorporated, about 3 minutes. Add sea salt and white pepper to taste.
• Place the salmon fillets and asparagus on individual serving plates and spoon the hollandaise over the top. Garnish with the remaining minced herbs and serve.

SALMON AND ASPARAGUS WITH MAîTRE D'HôTEL BUTTER

Steps:

• For the maître d'hôtel butter: With a mortar and pestle, mash the anchovies together with the horseradish (see Cook's Note). Add the honey, Dijon, butter, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Combine to form a cohesive paste. Add the parsley and mix to combine. Set aside. If not using right away, transfer to a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap and, using the wrap, form it into a cylindrical shape; refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• For the asparagus: Cut or snap off the woody ends of the asparagus. Place the asparagus and 1 tablespoon water in a shallow microwave-safe baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 2 1/2 minutes. Remove, then drain and season with the oil, salt and pepper, lemon zest and parsley.
• For the salmon: Place 2 salmon fillets in a shallow bowl or plate. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave on 50% power in 1-minute increments until the salmon is cooked to your liking, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Transfer to plates. Repeat with the remaining 2 fillets.
• While the filets are still warm, dollop with some of the maître d'hotel butter on top and allow it to melt (save the remaining maître d'hotel butter for another use). Serve with the asparagus and lemon wedges.

SALMON, ASPARAGUS, AND LEEK IN PARCHMENT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Cut four 12-by-17-inch pieces of parchment. Fold each in half crosswise to make a crease, then unfold and lay flat. Toss asparagus and leek with oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Season fish with salt and pepper. Arrange a fillet on one side of crease on each piece of parchment. Top with asparagus mixture, dividing evenly. Fold each piece of parchment over, then make small overlapping pleats to seal open sides, creating half-moon-shaped packets.
• Bake on 2 rimmed baking sheets, 10 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to plates and carefully cut packets open with kitchen shears (steam will be released). Serve, topped with herbs and squeezed with lemon wedges.

PAN SEARED WILD ALASKAN SALMON WITH SAGE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil, and 1 tablespoons butter in medium frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Lightly salt skin side of salmon.
• Rub flesh side of salmon with half of sage, salt and pepper to taste.
• Place salmon skin side down in pan. Cook until salmon is cooked halfway through. Don't worry about burning the skin as it can take a good deal of heat and tastes better the crispier it gets.
• Remove salmon from pan and set aside.
• Add remaining butter, sage, onions and garlic to pan. Sautee until onions are slightly transparent.
• Return salmon to pan flesh side down and cook 3-5 minutes or until cooked through and flaky.
• Remove from pan and serve immediately with onions on top.
