SPICY SLOW-ROASTED SALMON WITH CUCUMBERS AND FETA



Spicy Slow-Roasted Salmon With Cucumbers and Feta image

Roasting salmon low and slow in a shallow pool of olive oil guarantees that it won't overcook - and that it'll soak up whatever other flavors are swimming in the oil. Dried chile, fennel and coriander provide a crunchy bite and sneaky heat to the buttery salmon. Serve it warm or at room temperature, with cucumbers, drizzles of more spicy oil, and feta, for a little more plushness. Store any leftover salmon for up to 2 days in the oil, so it doesn't dry out.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/2 teaspoons red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon fennel seeds, crushed
1 tablespoon coriander seeds, crushed
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 (2-pound) skinless salmon fillet
1 large English cucumber or 3 Persian cucumbers
4 ounces feta, crumbled (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 300 degrees. In an ovenproof skillet large enough to hold the salmon, combine olive oil, red-pepper flakes, paprika, fennel seeds, coriander seeds and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and just simmering, about 5 minutes.
  • Pat the salmon dry, then sprinkle with salt and place in the spiced oil flesh side up. Spoon some of the oil over the salmon, then bake, basting occasionally, until cooked through, 15 to 25 minutes. (You will know if the salmon is done when the fish flakes when cut into with a knife or fork or when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reaches 120 degrees.)
  • While the salmon roasts, peel the cucumber and cut into bite-size pieces. Sprinkle with salt.
  • Break the salmon into large pieces on a serving platter. (Alternatively, you can make the salmon in advance, and eat it at room temperature.) Scatter the cucumbers around the salmon, then top with feta and parsley. Drizzle chile oil over everything to taste. (You will have more than you need - dip bread into any remaining oil.)

ROASTED SALMON WITH FENNEL AND LIME



Roasted Salmon With Fennel and Lime image

Fennel is used several ways to flavor these tender fillets of slow-roasted salmon. The seeds are mixed with lime zest and salt to rub all over the fish before cooking, which perfumes it through and through. Then a shaved fennel bulb is used two ways, both roasted in the pan beneath the fillets and tossed with lime juice into a crunchy, slawlike salad to serve on the side. Elegant yet supremely simple, this is fast enough for a weeknight but special enough to share with friends.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, easy, weeknight, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 limes
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, lightly crushed using a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a knife
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 (6- to 8-ounce) skinless salmon fillets
1 large fennel bulb with fronds
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
6 fresh marjoram or thyme sprigs
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Finely grate the zest from 1 lime into a small bowl, and set aside the zested lime. Add fennel seeds, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the bowl and toss to combine. Sprinkle mixture all over salmon.
  • Meanwhile, remove the fennel fronds from the bulb and chop up enough to make 1/4 cup. Trim fennel bulb, discarding stalks, and slice bulb thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Spread half the fennel slices in a baking dish in an even layer and drizzle with oil. Arrange salmon on top.
  • Slice the whole, unzested lime into thin rounds and lay the slices on top of the salmon. Tuck marjoram around the salmon and drizzle salmon generously with more olive oil.
  • Roast until salmon is just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. (Thinner fillets may take less time, so start checking for doneness at 10 minutes.)
  • Meanwhile, toss chopped fennel fronds and remaining fennel slices with a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Juice the zested lime and add some of the juice to the fennel, to taste. Drizzle the sliced fennel with olive oil and set aside to serve with the salmon.
  • When the salmon is done, drizzle it with more lime juice and sprinkle with flaky salt. Serve with the fennel salad on top, and the roast fennel on the side, if you like.

SALMON CONFIT WITH LIME, JUNIPER, AND FENNEL



Salmon Confit with Lime, Juniper, and Fennel image

In this Melissa Clark recipe, confiting salmon fillets in olive oil makes their flesh extravagantly tender and silky.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 limes
½ teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more as needed
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 dried juniper berries, lightly crushed with a mortar and pestle or the side of a heavy knife
½ teaspoon fennel seeds, lightly crushed with a mortar and pestle or the side of a heavy knife
4 (6- to 8-ounce) skinless salmon fillets
6 sprigs fresh marjoram or thyme
Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
1 large fennel bulb, with fronds
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 325°F. Finely grate the zest from 1 of the limes and place the zest in a bowl (reserve the lime for later). Stir in the salt, pepper, and crushed juniper berries and fennel seeds. Sprinkle the mixture all over the salmon fillets and place them, packed close together, in a small baking dish (a large loaf pan or an 8-inch cake pan will work).
  • Thinly slice the remaining lime and lay the slices on the fish. Tuck the marjoram sprigs around the fish. Cover the fish with olive oil-you'll need at least ½ cup, possibly even 1 cup, to submerge it. Bake the fish until it's just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. (Thinner fillets may take less time-start checking at 10 minutes.)
  • Remove the fennel fronds from the bulb and chop enough to make ½ cup. Trim the fennel bulb and thinly slice it on a mandoline or with a very sharp knife. In a bowl, toss the fennel fronds and slices with a pinch of fine sea salt. Juice the zested lime and add juice, to taste, to the fennel. Drizzle the fennel with oil. Serve the salmon and fennel sprinkled with flaky sea salt.

SALMON WITH FENNEL



Salmon with Fennel image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 to 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 cups sliced yellow onions, 1/4-inch thick (3 pounds)
5 cups sliced fennel bulbs, 1/4-inch thick (3 pounds)
1/2 cup good olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fennel fronds
1 orange, zested
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (10 pound) fresh salmon

Steps:

  • Have the fishmonger cut the head and tail off the salmon and butterfly it, removing all the bones. You should have about 7 pounds of salmon.
  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • Saute the onions and fennel in the olive oil for 10 minutes on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Add the thyme leaves, fennel fronds, orange zest, orange juice, salt, and pepper and saute for 5 more minutes, until the onions and fennel are tender. Taste for salt and pepper.
  • Lay the salmon, skin side down, on a cutting board and sprinkle both sides generously with salt and pepper. Spread the fennel filling over half of the salmon. Pull the other half up and over the filling, enclosing it. Tie the salmon every 2 inches with kitchen string to secure the stuffing.
  • Place a sheet pan lined with parchment paper in the oven for 5 minutes to heat it. Carefully transfer the salmon to the hot sheet pan and bake it for exactly 30 minutes (10 minutes for each 1-inch of thickness). Do not overbake!
  • Allow to cool slightly, then remove the strings. To serve, cut into thick slices with a very sharp knife. This salmon is delicious hot or at room temperature.
  • Note: If you're making this in advance, be sure to cool the filling before stuffing the salmon. Refrigerate until ready to roast.

THE ULTIMATE SALMON IN PARCHMENT



The Ultimate Salmon in Parchment image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 stick unsalted butter
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 fresh red chile, roughly chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fennel seeds, toasted
2 tablespoons coriander seeds, toasted
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, boneless and skin removed
1 lemon, juiced
16 mussels, cleaned and de-bearded
Extra-virgin olive oil
3 scallions, finely sliced, for garnish
1/4 bunch cilantro, for garnish
1 cup couscous
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
4 frozen cubes of chicken stock (about 2 tablespoons per cube)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place 2 sheet trays in oven to warm.
  • To make the curry butter: Combine ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
  • To prepare the Salmon and Mussels: Begin by making a seasoning with fennel and coriander seed and salt and pepper. Pound spices in a mortar and pestle, or grind with a coffee grinder, until you have a rough powder.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine couscous, cilantro, lemon zest and half the spice mix. Stir well to combine, drizzle with olive oil, then divide evenly among 4 large pieces of parchment (big enough to create a folded pocket for the salmon). Nestle into the couscous 1 frozen chicken stock cube for each portion. Top with the piece of salmon and then sprinkle with remaining spice mix. Squeeze lemon juice over the top of each piece of fish and couscous then set 4 mussels around the fish in each packet. Fold over the parchment to create a pocket and trim paper to make a heart shape. Crimp over the edges, working from one end to the other to secure the paper tightly then brush with olive oil so the paper doesn't burn. Carefully transfer the parchment pockets to the hot sheet trays (you will probably need to put 2 per tray) then bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • When done, the paper will puff up. Cut open tableside with scissors, top with curry butter, and shower with fresh chopped scallions and cilantro.

HERB SMOKED PACIFIC SALMON WITH SHAVED FENNEL AND DILL SALAD



Herb Smoked Pacific Salmon with Shaved Fennel and Dill Salad image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons Kosher salt
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
15 whole black peppercorns
3 bay leaves
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
8 (5 ounce) salmon fillets, cut thickly and uniformly
1/3 cup snipped fresh dill
Olive oil, for grilling
2 medium fresh fennel bulbs, shaved paper thin
1 medium cucumber peeled, cut in half, seeded and cut into long thin strips
1 fresh endive separated into individual leaves
Walnut-Dill Vinaigrette (recipe follows)

Steps:

  • This is a simple dish to prepare but timing is crucial. The cure can be made in quantity and stored refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. It is imperative that the salmon not stay in the cure for longer than 30 minutes before grilling or the surface will become dry and tough. It can cure for as short a time as 15 minutes. In volume situations, the salmon can be undercooked slightly and flashed in a hot oven to just heat through just before serving. The fennel needs to be shaved paper thin and ideally done just before serving. Do not store shaved fennel in ice water unless absolutely necessary - - it loses its fresh, aromatic flavor. Once shaved it can be held covered and refrigerated for up to 3 hours without browning.
  • Garnish: Daikon or Sunflower sprouts, rinsed fresh salmon roe and basil oil
  • In a saucepan over high heat, combine the salt, sugar, coriander and fennel seeds, peppercorns and bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the dill and let cool completely. Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer. Pour on the cooled wine mixture and let the salmon "cure" for 30 minutes only, turning once. Meanwhile prepare a charcoal fire along with some soaked hardwood chips or shavings. Lightly oil the grill.
  • Remove the salmon from the "cure" and drain off any excess liquid. It is fine if spices or dill adhere to the salmon.
  • Lightly brush the salmon with some olive oil. Place hardwood chips on coals, cover and smoke/cook the salmon over medium coals for 5 to 6 minutes or until just done. Be careful not to overcook the salmon or it will become dry and lose its wonderful texture. It should still be translucent in the center. To serve: Toss the fennel and the cucumber together and dress to taste with Walnut-Dill Vinaigrette. Arrange attractively on top of the endive leaves on chilled plates. Place salmon on top and garnish with the sprouts, salmon roe and drizzles of the basil oil around the plate. Salmon can be served warm or at room temperature.

HOW TO COOK SALMON



How to Cook Salmon image

Salmon is versatile and delicious. Florence Fabricant shows you how to cook it perfectly every time.

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Buy the largest spatula you can find, one that can lift and turn a substantial portion of a fillet and transfer the fish to a platter. Better yet, buy a fish spatula, which is designed just for this purpose.A cast iron pan is excellent for searing fillets and then placing them in the oven. A reliable nonstick pan is also useful; look for one that can go into a hot oven. A sheet pan, reinforced so it won't warp, is helpful for roasting and broiling.A pair of small needle-nose pliers from a hardware store does the best job of yanking out pinbones. Sturdy tweezers can be used but are less effective.Have parchment paper or aluminum foil on hand. Use them to enclose fillets for baking (fish en papillote), and for lining sheet pans, grill pans and roasting pans, which makes cleanup easier.
  • With salmon, one size does not fit all. There are a few basic categories of cuts, each with its own treatment and purpose. Small fillets and steaks are great for fast weeknight meals, while a whole side of salmon is an easy and elegant main course for a dinner party.Salmon fillets are the most commonly used cut of the fish, and for good reason: removing the pin bones is simple, and the cut lends itself to all methods of cooking. A fillet can be a small section of a boned side, intended to serve one or two people, or it or an entire boned side to serve a crowd. With or without skin? That depends on how you expect to cook the fish. Certain methods, like pan-frying fillets, are designed to give you crispy skin, and that skin is delicious. For poaching fish, however, the skin can be removed before cooking and discarded.For filleted, skinless fish, about six ounces per person is an average portion. With skin, add another ounce.These crosscut sections are best for grilling, broiling or pan-searing, though they can also be baked in a sauce. When buying more than one steak, be sure they are of uniform thickness so they cook at the same rate. Thicker steaks will be easier to cook so they acquire an attractive burnish and remain moist and succulent, roughly 10 to 12 ounces per steak. Consider serving half a large steak per person, divided in the kitchen after cooking and plated without the skin and bones. A side of salmon is the piece from which smaller fillets are cut, and it's a great choice for when you want to serve a large group of people. A side can be grilled, roasted or broiled, or even poached if you own the right equipment. If you're looking to cook a whole salmon, try two sides instead.
  • There are significant differences between farmed and wild salmon. Wild salmon comes from Pacific waters, and has a silky texture and a brilliant vermilion hue. It has a superior taste, with fewer calories and less fat than farmed salmon. It is also expensive, and there is less of it in the market. Farmed salmon is much more plentiful, and cheaper. It comes from Atlantic salmon stock, and bears the color of the feed it is given, most often the light pink flesh we associate with "salmon." There are significant environmental concerns surrounding the farming of salmon. The wild salmon sold in the United States come from the Pacific. (Salmon has all but disappeared in the wild in the Atlantic, and the pockets that exist are reserved for sport fishing.) The season for Pacific salmon lasts from May to September; if you see it outside of those months, it has been frozen, though it will still be delicious. Wild salmon is usually more expensive and less readily available than farmed, but if you can get it, do it; it will elevate your meal. The most prized is Chinook or king salmon, which is the largest and most succulent of the species. Sockeye salmon, with its deep vermilion red flesh and firm texture, has acquired a following, especially when it's from the Copper River in Alaska. Coho or silver salmon is a milder-tasting salmon and is generally wild, though there is some farm-raised Coho salmon. Steelhead trout is is a fish in the Pacific salmon genus. It has meaty pink flesh and comes in small sizes, which like two to three pounds that makes it convenient to cook whole. Tasmanian sea trout or ocean trout is another fish with salmon-colored flesh that's closely related. May - SeptemberKingMay - AugustSockeyeEarly May - JuneCopper River SockeyeJune - SeptemberCohoJuly - SeptemberPinkReadily available all year round, farmed salmon generally has a rich, mild flavor, but lacks the salinity of wild salmon. It is also more affordably priced. Much of the farmed salmon in the United States is Atlantic salmon, though there are now some operations in the Pacific. (Some high-quality king salmon, branded Ora, is farmed in New Zealand.) Some of the farmed fish is labeled organic, but that term, when it comes to creatures swimming in the sea, is controversial. Arctic char, which is also in the salmonidae family, is usually farm-raised in the most northern reaches of the Atlantic. The fish has deep orange-pink flesh and a texture that is more delicate than that of regular farmed salmon. And because Arctic char is small, about 3 pounds, it is also an appropriate choice for cooking whole. Genetically modified salmon, which has a growth hormone gene from king salmon so it will grow two to four times faster, has been approved for sale in the United States. It will be at least a couple of years before it reaches the market, however.
  • Salmon fillets and sides have pinbones, the inch-long, flexible bones that stick up vertically in a row down the center of the fillet. Removing them is an easy maneuver; you don't have to do this, but it makes for a prettier piece of fish and easier eating. A pair of pliers and a simple technique will get you smooth, boneless salmon. Here's how.Lay your salmon fillet flat on a board or on a sheet of foil on your counter, skin side down (even if there is no skin). Run your hand across the surface of the fish. You will feel a ridge of the tiny bones sticking up.Starting at the thickest end of the fillet, use needle-nose pliers to grab the tip of the bone and firmly yank it out. There may be as many as 20 of these bones in a whole fillet.
  • Cooking salmon on the stovetop is the ultimate in ease: if you don't want to heat up your oven or spend too much time in front of it, sautéing a fillet is the way to go. Or if you're looking for a low-fat option, poaching salmon produces tender, clean-tasting fish.Sautéing salmon means to cook it quickly in a little fat over fairly high heat. The method is easy and fast, and it works best for fillets, making it a great way to get a delicious weeknight dinner on the table. Here's how to do it:In a nonstick skillet, melt about 1 tablespoon butter over medium high heat and cook until foam subsides and turns deep gold in color, about 3 minutes. Season the fillet with salt and pepper and add to pan, skin side up. Cook without turning for about 6 minutes, until fish turns deep brown. Flip the fish and cook until done to taste, 2 to 4 minutes longer.Poaching salmon gives you cleanly cooked fish that makes a beautiful palette for sauces, or a delicious base for salmon salad, croquettes or burgers. It's also a good way to get perfectly cooked fish without any added fat. Here's the basic method:Fill a sauté pan with enough water to cover a fillet, and lower the fish in. Sprinkle in salt, a few peppercorns and a bay leaf.Bring the water to a fast simmer, and turn off the heat. Cover the pan and let the fish cook for 20 to 30 minutes. The salmon should be medium-rare. Note: To add extra flavor to your poached fish, try using a classic court bouillon, a simple cooking broth that is simmered for 20 to 30 minutes with slices of lemon and onions, herbs, salt and pepper. There should be enough to submerge the fish in a pan that the fillet or fillets with fit. Use it in place of the water in the basic cooking method above.
  • Salmon cooked in the oven is a shortcut to dinner bliss. It produces a beautifully burnished entree, it works for all cuts, and it allows you to focus on another part of your meal while the fish cooks. Just watch your cooking time.Roasting salmon fillets in the oven gives you beautiful, succulent fish that doesn't require constant attention. This method, which we recommend if you're cooking four or fewer fillets, has you sear the fish in a pan on the stovetop first, which crisps the skin delectably. Then you transfer the fish to the oven for an even finish and succulent flesh. Be sure to use a pan that can move safely between stovetop and oven, like a cast-iron skillet, and don't crowd it with too many pieces of fish. This is a method that works well with other types of fish, so it's a good one to put in your arsenal. Here's how to do it:Heat the oven to 400 degrees. In a cast-iron skillet, melt about 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Add one 6 to 8-ounce, skin-on salmon fillet, with the skin side down. Cook for 3 minutes over high heat to brown the skin, spooning some of the melted butter over the top of the fish as it cooks. Transfer the pan to oven. Roast until fish is just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.Note: for even crispier skin, lightly dust the skin side of individual portions of fillet with flour before placing them in the pan.Roasting fillets by using a baking dish, sheet pan or roasting pan is a simple and delicious way to cook a larger number of fillets at once, though the skin will not be as crisp as that on the seared-and-roasted fillets above. These fillets look most appetizing with a seasoning or glaze brushed on top. (You could also use a version of this method to cook a whole side of salmon for a crowd; here's an excellent recipe for that.)Here's how to roast a pan of smaller fillets:Heat your oven to 400 degrees. Place the fillets skin-side down on a lightly oiled, foil-lined sheet pan. Season them with salt and pepper and whatever else pleases you: Chinese five-spice powder, perhaps, or a mixture of brown sugar and mustard.Slide the pan into the top half of your oven. The fillets should be cooked to medium in about 12 minutes.Broiling gives a tasty and attractive burnish to the top (skinless) surface of fillets or steaks, and it is not necessary to turn the fish. A delicious way to do this is on a wooden plank. Fish markets and cookware stores sell untreated cedar and apple wood planks, but never use pine as it will give the fish the flavor of resin. The plank should be soaked in water before use. Otherwise, use a sheet pan with sides, lined with foil if you like.Here's a simple method: Heat the oven broiler to very hot. Position the oven rack so the salmon is no farther than four inches from source of heat.Broil salmon three to five minutes, watching carefully, until top is attractively browned and fish is slightly undercooked in the middle. If you like salmon done this way, remove from oven and transfer to serving platter. Otherwise, shut off broiler and leave salmon in hot oven another three to five minutes, to desired degree of doneness. (We'll show you how to check for that.)Note: A foolproof treatment for broiled salmon is to spread regular mayonnaise, either store-bought or homemade, on salmon fillets before cooking. This flavorful coating - it's an old trick - will become beautifully dappled and toasty-looking, and keep the fish moist. The mayonnaise can be seasoned with mustard, sriracha, garlic, tomato paste or whatever flavor profile might please you. It's delicious.Salmon cooked en papillote, which means wrapped in a packet of parchment (or foil), is a dramatic way to procure perfectly cooked salmon, but it isn't difficult. You fold a fillet into a cut piece of parchment, and then layer it with seasonings or perhaps vegetables or citrus fruit. Then you simply bake the packets until done. The steam created by the parchment produces reliably moist salmon, and opening the individual packets at the table makes for a fun way to start dinner. Here's how to do it:Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut a large heart-shaped piece of parchment or foil and place it on a sheet pan. Fold the parchment or foil in half down the middle, place a fillet with its garnishes on one side of each, fold the other side over and crimp the rounded edge tightly closed.Place in oven for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how done you'd like to serve the salmon. The packages should puff up and make for dramatic serving.
  • Grilled salmon is an earthy, simple way to cook the fish and gives it a particularly smoky, deep flavor. A perfectly grilled piece of salmon is a wonder of summer. And the method even works for whole salmon, if you've got a large enough grill. Salmon fillets, steaks and even whole fish are excellent cooked over fire, particularly on a charcoal grill. Steaks are easiest to handle and turn on the grill. Fillets are best grilled with the skin on (cook them skin side down first). Consider buying a grill basket for the fish, which simplifies the process of cooking several pieces at once. Here's how to grill salmon simply:Heat your coals or gas grill burner very hot. Brush salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the fish skin side down on the grate. Cook salmon for about 5 to 6 minutes, then flip. (Here's one key tip: If the fish is sticking to the grill grate, then it's not ready to flip.)Cook for another 3 to 10 minutes, depending upon how hot your fire is. The fish is done when the interior is cooked to your liking and exterior is crisp.
  • Salmon, like tuna, can be enjoyed when it's still on the rare side in the middle and quite moist. Just how rare is a matter of personal preference. Read on to learn how to tell when your fish is ready. An easy way to test for doneness is to look at the color. Slide a sharp knife into the thickest part of the fillet and peek at the flesh inside; rare salmon will have its original vermilion flesh (above, far left), while medium will be pale pink (far right), and medium-rare will fall in the middle.The test that chefs use is easy and reliable. Poke the tip of a paring knife or a thin metal skewer into the center of the fish and touch the side of it - not the point - to your face between your chin and lower lip. If it feels cool the fish will be rare in the middle; warm means medium-rare and hot shows that the fish is thoroughly cooked through.
  • Perfectly cooked salmon is delicious on its own, but the right sauce will add a new dimension and turn a weeknight dish into dinner party fare.An emulsion is a fat-based sauce with flavorings blended in. They can be tricky to prepare and especially to hold without breaking but they are classic accompaniments for salmon. Uncooked emulsions include vinaigrette, easy to prepare and quickly reconstituted by whisking or shaking in a covered container if it separates. Mayonnaise is another uncooked emulsion. It can be made by hand or machine. Cooked emulsions are usually butter-based, with the warm butter whisked into a base that might just be a wine or vinegar reduction, as in a beurre blanc, or a richer egg-based mixture as for the classic hollandaise and its tangy cousin, béarnaise. Seasoned butters, like anchovy butter, or flavored oils can be drizzled on cooked salmon to good effect.If you're serving something starchy like potatoes, rice, sunchokes or farro with your fish, an herb sauce is the way to go. Try a chermoula, a pungent Moroccan herb sauce, or a classic pesto. Chimichurri, usually reserved for meat, is a great detour for salmon. Salsas deliver acidity, which is always necessary with fish. A pineapple salsa will also add a note of sweetness, a tomato salsa with onion and chile contributes freshness and a hint of fire, and a gingery Asian salsa tempers the richness of the fish with tangy heat. Which one to choose depends not just on the salmon but also on the other components of the dish, including vegetables served alongside.For those who can eat nuts, romesco, a tangy, nut-based Spanish sauce with red peppers and bread, is an excellent idea.

HAZELNUT AND CORIANDER SPICED SOUS-VIDE SALMON



Hazelnut and Coriander Spiced Sous-Vide Salmon image

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup hazelnuts
2 1/2 tablespoons coriander seeds
5 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
2 tablespoons dried chamomile blossoms or contents of chamomile tea bags
2 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
Kosher salt and black pepper
10 salmon fillets, 1 inch thick, about .25 pound each
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 tablespoons unsalted butter.

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Roast the nuts in a baking pan until the skins are dark brown, about 10 minutes. Wrap them in a dish towel, rub briskly to remove the skins, then coarsely chop.
  • In a dry skillet over medium-high heat, toast the coriander seeds, stirring constantly, until golden brown and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Crush in a mortar and pestle or with a spice grinder.
  • Add the nuts, sesame seeds, chamomile, ginger and 1 teaspoon salt to the grinder or mortar and grind to a coarse powder. Work in batches if necessary. Place in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Season the fish with salt and pepper. Place a large pot in your sink, and add warm water until the pot is full and the water reaches 115 degrees. Place two fillets side by side in a gallon-size heavy-duty resealable plastic bag. Drizzle fillets with oil. Submerge the bags halfway into the warm water (this creates a vacuum). Seal as airtight as possible, pushing out any excess air. Repeat with the remaining fillets.
  • Once all the salmon fillets are submerged in the pot, add more hot water until the water temperature returns to 115 degrees (the cold fish will reduce the water temperature). Let the salmon rest in the water bath about 20 to 25 minutes until its core temperature is 113 degrees (remove and check one fillet with an instant-read thermometer). Check the water temperature occasionally and add more hot water as needed to maintain the temperature of 115 degrees.
  • Transfer the salmon bags to a cutting board. Remove fish from plastic bags and gently pull off the skins (or use a butter knife). Transfer the cooked fillets to a plate for easier handling.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add about 2/3 of the fish spice, and increase the heat until the butter just starts to bubble. Sear the fillets on both sides in the pan while basting with the hot butter, about 30 seconds. Serve immediately, sprinkled with more fish spice, if desired.
