DENISE'S WALNUT CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat a grill.
• Mix marinade ingredients in a baking pan. Add salmon, turn to coat, and marinate for 10 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, mix walnuts, croutons, oregano, chives, olive oil, and lemon juice. On a grill, place salmon meat side down for 4 minutes or until seared. Remove and place on foil lined baking sheet, skin side down. Lightly brush with marinade. Sprinkle crust on top. Bake for 4 to 8 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to the desired doneness and the crust is golden.

HAZELNUT CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut salmon filet into 4 equal-sized pieces. Place in baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Spread mayonnaise on filets (about 2 tablespoons on each). Top with chopped hazelnuts; sprinkle each filet with tarragon, orange peel, salt, and pepper. Bake in preheated oven approximately 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork (time varies with thickness of filet).

HAZELNUT-CITRUS ENCRUSTED SALMON

• Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.

HAZELNUT AND CORIANDER SPICED SOUS-VIDE SALMON

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.

BUTTER-BASTED SALMON WITH HAZELNUT RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Toast hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Let cool.
• Pulse garlic, cilantro, parsley, capers, lemon zest, and 1/4 cup hazelnuts in a food processor until finely chopped. With machine running, gradually add olive oil; season relish with salt. Coarsely chop remaining hazelnuts.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season salmon with salt and cook, skin side down, until skin is crisp (do not disturb), about 4 minutes. Add butter and cook, basting constantly, 1 minute. Transfer to oven and roast salmon, basting once, until medium-rare (mostly opaque but still slightly translucent in the center), about 3 minutes.
• Serve salmon, skin side up, with lettuce, topped with relish and chopped hazelnuts.
• Do ahead: Relish can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill.
