Arugula With Roasted Salmon And New Potatoes Food

ARUGULA WITH ROASTED SALMON AND NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast 10 minutes.
• Toss potatoes, and push to sides of sheet; place salmon in center, and season with salt and pepper. Roast until potatoes are tender and salmon is opaque throughout, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer salmon to a plate; break into large pieces with a fork.
• While salmon is cooking, whisk together vinegar, mustard, chives, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add arugula and potatoes; toss to combine. Top salad with salmon pieces.

SALMON, ASPARAGUS AND NEW POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Scrub and steam or boil the potatoes until tender, using whatever potatoes you have available, but bearing in mind that the waxy fleshed variety such as fingerlings are particularly good in salads as they do not collapse. Cook the asparagus tips in lightly salted water. Steam, poach or grill the salmon.
• Skin or peel the potatoes, if you wish, and dice or slice them. Mix them with the asparagus and then with the dressing. If using mayonnaise and the potatoes are too hot, this will cause the mayonnaise the split. Grate in the lemon zest, add seasoning and the herbs, and fold into the salad. Spoon the potato and asparagus onto the plate, with a fillet of salmon on top. Whole herbs or baby greens can be used to garnish it, as can edible flowers.

PAN SEARED SALMON ON BABY ARUGULA

Steps:

• 1. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow bowl. Toss well with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Let rest for 15 minutes.
• 2. Cook the salmon, skinside down in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, shaking the pan and carefully lifting the salmon with a spatula to loosen it from the pan.
• 3. Reduce the heat to medium. Cover the pan and cook until the salmon is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes more. The skin should be crisp and the flesh medium rare.
• 4. Meanwhile, combine the arugula, tomatoes and onion in a bowl. Just before serving, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil and vinegar. Toss well.

ROASTED SALMON SALAD

Steps:

• Make the vinaigrette: In a bowl, combine the vinegar, lemon juice, shallots, lemon zest and rosemary.
• Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Make the salmon salad: Roast the bell peppers directly over a gas flame or under the broiler as close to the heat as possible until charred all over.
• Transfer to a paper bag and let steam for 15 minutes.
• Scrape off the blackened skins and discard the stems, ribs and seeds.
• Cut the peppers into 1/3-inch-thick strips.
• Put the sliced potatoes in a medium saucepan of salted water and bring to a boil.
• Remove from the heat and let sit in the water until tender, about 18 minutes.
• Drain and transfer to a plate.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet.
• Add the mushrooms and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl.
• Preheat the oven to 500°F Lay the salmon fillet, skinned side down, on a lightly-oiled baking sheet and remove any stray bones with tweezers.
• Sprinkle the salmon with the thyme, fennel seeds and celery seeds; season with salt and black pepper.
• Roast for about 10 minutes, until the salmon is opaque but still slightly rare in the centre.
• Remove the salmon from the oven and preheat the broiler.
• Broil for about 1 minute, or until the top is browned.
• Break the salmon into large chunks.
• In a large bowl, combine the arugula with the fennel, mushrooms, roasted red peppers, potatoes and cilantro.
• Add 3/4s of the vinaigrette and toss.
• Arrange the salad on large plates or shallow bowls and top with chunks of the salmon.
• Drizzle the fish with the remaining vinaigrette and serve.

SEARED SALMON WITH CITRUS AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Make the glaze for the salmon: In a small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil with the orange juice, mustard, half the chopped garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
• Make the salad dressing: In another small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil with the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir in the shallots and the remaining garlic, then set aside.
• Using a small serrated knife, peel the grapefruit and oranges and trim to remove any remaining pith. Slice all the peeled fruit crosswise into thin circles (no larger than 1/2-inch thick); remove the seeds and set aside.
• Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy stainless-steel skillet over medium-high until it's extremely hot (a drop of water flicked onto the pan should turn to steam almost immediately), about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels, brush both sides with olive oil, and season all over with salt and pepper.
• When the pan is ready, cook the salmon fillets skin-side down over medium-high without moving until the salmon skin releases easily from the pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a pair of tongs or a spatula, wiggle the fillets to loosen the skin from the bottom of the pan, then carefully flip. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly rare in the center, 4 to 5 more minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
• Transfer to a rimmed plate or serving dish, and brush the glaze all over the salmon, making sure to coat the fillets.
• Combine the arugula and fennel in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well. Add the avocado, citrus rounds and pistachios, and toss gently. Transfer to a shallow serving bowl or platter and serve alongside the salmon.
