How To Cook Salmon Food

OVEN-BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Season salmon with salt and pepper. Place salmon, skin side down, on a non-stick baking sheet or in a non-stick pan with an oven-proof handle. Bake until salmon is cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes. Serve with the Toasted Almond Parsley Salad and squash, if desired.
• Mince the shallot and add to a small bowl. Pour the vinegar over the shallots and add a pinch of salt. Let sit for 30 minutes.
• Roughly chop the capers, parsley and almonds and add to the shallots. Add the olive oil, tasting as you go. Mix again and adjust the seasonings.

PAN-FRIED SALMON

Steps:

• Bring the salmon to room temperature 10 minutes before cooking.
• Warm a large nonstick skillet with oil over medium-low heat. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Raise the heat to medium-high. Place the salmon, skin-side up in the pan. Cook until golden brown on 1 side, about 4 minutes. Turn the fish over with a spatula, and cook until it feels firm to the touch and the skin is crisp if desired, about 3 minutes more.
• The skin can be served or removed easily with a knife or spoon.
• Transfer to a plate and serve as desired.

DELICIOUS SALMON

Steps:

• Whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, lemon pepper, and garlic in a shallow dish; lay the salmon fillets into the mixture with the skin side facing up. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator 4 to 8 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Remove salmon from the marinade and arrange on a baking sheet. Discard the marinade.
• Cook the salmon under the broiler until lightly browned and the flesh flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 10 minutes. Allow the salmon to rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

SALMON SOBA NOODLES WITH PONZU-SCALLION SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large pot, combine cabbage, dashi powder and 8 cups of water, and bring to boil over high heat. Partially cover, reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender and flavors have melded, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Meanwhile, bring a separate pot of water to a boil and cook soba noodles according to package instructions. Drain and run under cool water to remove excess starch and to stop the cooking. Drain well and divide soba among 4 bowls.
• In a small bowl, mix scallions with ponzu, oil and ginger and set aside. Once cabbage is tender, add tofu and bring broth back to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and arrange salmon slices on top so that they're slightly overlapping and just covered by the broth. Cover and cook until salmon is just opaque throughout, 1½ to 2 minutes. (The fish will continue to cook off the heat.)
• Divide broth and salmon among the 4 bowls. Top each serving with some of the grated daikon and spoon some of the ponzu-scallions sauce over the fish and broth. Serve warm with any remaining ponzu-scallion sauce on the side.

BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• In a medium glass bowl, prepare marinade by mixing garlic, light olive oil, basil, salt, pepper, lemon juice and parsley.
• Place salmon fillets in a medium glass baking dish, and cover with the marinade.
• Marinate in the refrigerator about 1 hour, turning occasionally.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place fillets in aluminum foil, cover with marinade, and seal.
• Place sealed salmon in the glass dish, and bake 35 to 45 minutes, until easily flaked with a fork.

BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Brush each salmon fillet with the oil or butter and season well.
• Put the salmon fillets in an ovenproof dish. Cover if you prefer your salmon to be tender, or leave uncovered if you want the flesh to roast slightly.
• Roast for 10-15 mins (or about 4 mins per 1cm thickness) until just opaque and easily flaked with a fork. Serve with a sprinkling of chopped herbs, lemon slices and steamed long-stem broccoli, if you like.

PAN-FRIED SALMON

Steps:

• Generously season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Put the oil and butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, swirling around the pan until melted and foaming, then turn up the heat. Once the butter starts bubbling, add the salmon fillets to the pan, skin-side-down, and fry for 3 mins until crisp. Flip the fillets over, lower the heat and cook for 2 mins more, then drizzle with the lemon juice. Transfer the salmon to a plate and baste with any of the buttery juices left in the pan.
