Salmon In Orange Dijon Cream Sauce Food

CREAMY DIJON SALMON

Steps:

• Pat salmon dry with paper towel. Season salmon all over with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika.
• Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Sear flesh-side down first (skin-side up), for 5 minutes or until cooked halfway up. Flip and cook for a further 3-4 minutes or until cooked to your liking. (Cook in batches of two if needed to avoid overcrowding your pan.)
• Once cooked, remove salmon from the pan and set aside. KEEP all of the flavourful juices in the pan.
• Return pan to medium-high heat and melt the butter in the juices. Sauté garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds), then pour in the stock. Allow liquid to reduce to half while scraping browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Reduce heat to low-medium heat. Whisk in the Dijon mustard, cream and parsley. Add the asparagus and bring to a gentle simmer, while stirring occasionally, until asparagus is cooked and sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
• Add the salmon back into the pan, sprinkle with parsley, taste test sauce and adjust salt and pepper, if needed.
• Serve.

SALMON WITH DIJON DILL SHALLOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Season salmon with 1/4 t. salt and place on broiler pan (I line my pan with nonstick aluminum foil). Broil salmon on high for about 10 minutes, until cooked throughout.
• While salmon cooks, put oil and 1 T. of butter in saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until butter melts. Add shallot and cook for about 1 minute, until soft and opaque. Pour in wine and reduce by half, 3-4 minutes.
• Turn heat down heat to low and stir in mustard, dill, pepper, and the remaining salt. Whisk until well combined. Remove from heat and add butter in pieces to the sauce until melted and blended inches.
• Place the salmon on serving platter and spoon the sauce over the top. Garnish with dill and cucumber, if desired.

SALMON WITH DIJON DILL SAUCE

• Broil salmon 7-10 minutes.
• Heat oil and 1 tablespoons of butter in saucepan until melted.
• Add shallot, cook until softened (about 1 minute).
• Add wine. Cook 3 minutes.
• Wisk in Dijon, dill, salt and pepper.
• Add remaining butter to sauce.
• Pour desired amount of sauce over salmon and enjoy!
• (great with a side of cucumber!).

SALMON WITH ORANGE BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the orange juice, strip of orange zest, shallots, bay leaf, peppercorns, garlic, thyme and wine in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the liquid has reduced by three-fourths; about 8 minutes.
• Add the heavy cream and cook until the liquid has reduced by half; about 4 minutes longer.
• Whisk in the cold butter little by little, whisking until the sauce is smooth and thick and all the butter is incorporated; 3 to 4 minutes. Do not allow the sauce to boil.
• Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into another saucepan, pressing on the solids to extract all the liquid; discard the solids.
• Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste, and keep warm until ready to serve. (Do not allow the sauce to boil or it will separate.).
• Season the salmon on both sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
• Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon, skin-side down, and cook until lightly browned and crisp; 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the salmon over and cook until the fish is just cooked through; about 2 more minutes.
• Serve the salmon, skin side up, immediately. Spoon the orange butter sauce around the fillets.
