Crispy Skin Salmon Salad With Roasted Cherry Tomatoes Food

CRISPY-SKIN SALMON SALAD WITH ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet; drizzle with 2 teaspoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to oven and roast until tomatoes begin to split, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, using a sharp knife, score skin side of salmon fillets; season with salt and pepper. Place salmon, skin-side down in a large, heavy-bottomed nonstick skillet. Place skillet over medium-low heat. Increase heat to high and cook until skin is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn salmon and continue cooking until salmon is just pink in the center, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, grapeseed oil, and remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place a 3-inch round cutter in the center of a serving plate and mound a quarter of the lettuce leaves into cutter. Remove cutter and repeat process on three more serving plates.
• Top each salad with a piece of salmon and some of the tomatoes; drizzle with lime-juice mixture. Serve immediately.

CRISPY SKIN SALMON

Steps:

• Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper. Place skin side up and rub 1 1/2 tablespoons softened butter all over the skin of the salmon. Transfer the salmon, buttered side up, to a sheet pan. Chill in the fridge to firm the butter, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler to high.
• Place the salmon about 5 inches from the heat source and cook until the skin is crispy and the fish is cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes.
• In a small saucepan over moderate heat, whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, mustard and tarragon leaves. Divide the sauce between 2 plates and place 1 piece of salmon on top of each pool of sauce.
• What Makes This Recipe Really Sing: This is the coolest way to get crispy skin on fish ever and the crispy skin is like a naturally salted and big flavored chip, so it's the best part!
