ROASTED SALMON WITH PEPPERCORN SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Use a mortar and pestle (I use a coffee grinder) to grind the ppercorns together with the salt. Or you can use a rolling pin or meat mallet to crush the peppercorns.
• Press peppercorn mixture onto one side of each salmon fillet.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Place several of the salmon fillets, peppercorn side down, into the hot oil. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden. Use a spatula to turn the fillets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Place the fillets into a baking dish. Repeat until all the fillets have been sauteed. You may need to add more oil to the pan.
• Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The salmon should be medium rare in the center.
• Add the sun-dried tomatoes and oil to the skillet. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the white wine and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the butter until just melted. Pour the sauce over the fillets and serve.

PICKLED-GINGER BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lay the fillets in a small roasting pan. Drizzle with sesame oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the pickled ginger in an even layer over the fillets. Top each with a slice of smoked salmon. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the fish is translucent pink in the center.

SALMON WITH PEPPERCORNS

Steps:

• Cut the salmon fillet slightly on the bias into four pieces of equal weight. Set aside.
• Peel the onions and cut them crosswise in half. Cut the half into quarters. Cut the quarters into 1-inch cubes. There should be about 5 1/2 cups.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy casserole and add the onion pieces. Cover. Cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. The onions will start to brown. Uncover and add the vinegar. Cook briefly until the vinegar is almost evaporated and then stir in the honey. Cover tightly. Cook 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle the salmon pieces with salt. Coat each piece with oil and equal amounts of coarsely cracked black pepper.
• The salmon may be cooked on a grill or under the broiler. Preheat the grill or the broiler to high. If the fish is to be broiled, place the pieces skin side down on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet under the broiler with the fish about 4 inches from the source of heat. Leave the broiler door partly open. Cook 3 minutes and turn the pieces; continue cooking about 3 minutes more. If the salmon is to be grilled, place the pieces on the grill skin side down. Cook about 3 minutes and turn the pieces; cook about 3 minutes more. Transfer the fish to a warm platter.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan and add the lemon juice and herbs. When the mixture starts to bubble, pour it over the salmon pieces. Serve the salmon with equal portions of the onions on the side.
