Herb Crusted Salmon And Artichokes Sauteed In Herb Infused Butter Food

HERB CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Blend the tarragon with bread crumbs, salt and pepper, to taste, in a food processor, pulsing in the dill last. Remove and stir in just enough melted butter to create the consistency of wet sand.
• Pat the salmon dry and season on all sides with salt and pepper, to taste. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large saute pan and sear the salmon, flesh side down, over medium- high heat, about 2 minutes. Do not crowd pan. Flip and top each fillet with the herb/crumb mixture. Put the pan in the oven and bake until the fish flakes with a fork. About 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer the fish to a platter and serve immediately.

ARTICHOKES SAUTEED IN HERB INFUSED BUTTER

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium high heat, add butter and oil.
• Sauté onions, garlic, chile, and herbs, reduce heat, making sure garlic doesn't burn.
• Once oil is infused, place artichoke, heart side down, into oil.
• Sauté for a few minutes, and then add enough water to steam them.
• Cover and reduce heat.
• Steam artichokes gently for up to 2 hours, or until flesh removes from leaves easily.
• More water will need to be added to the pan periodically.
• Serve with lemon-garlic-butter for dipping.

GARLIC & HERB ARTICHOKE SALMON

Steps:

• Place fillets on a large piece of heavy-duty foil (about 18x12 in.), skin side down. Sprinkle with lemon zest, salt and pepper; top with white portion of green onions. Fold foil around fish, sealing tightly. Grill, covered, over medium-high heat until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 7-9 minutes., Meanwhile, place artichoke hearts, lemon juice and cheese in a food processor; process until smooth. To serve, open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. Remove salmon to serving plates, leaving skin on foil. Top fillets with artichoke mixture; sprinkle with remaining green onion.

• Place salmon on prepared sheet; season with salt and pepper. Spread top of fillets with Dijon; top with crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Roast until salmon is opaque throughout, 11 to 13 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine lemon juice and remaining oil; season with salt and pepper. Add spinach and onion; toss to combine. Serve salmon with spinach salad.

• Roast salmon until it flakes easily, 18 to 20 minutes. With a large spatula, loosen it from skin (which should stick to parchment). Transfer fish to platter and garnish with roasted lemons.
