Simple Salmon Tails Food

THE BEST BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl. Mix the panko with the parsley, butter, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper in another small bowl.
• Place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and spread the surface with the Dijon. Press the brown sugar mixture all over the salmon then top with the breadcrumb mixture. Crimp all four sides of the foil to create a border around the salmon, this will help collect the juices so they don't spread and burn. Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown, and the salmon is firm and flakes easily when pressed, 15 to 18 minutes. Cut into four equal portions for serving.

SIMPLE SALMON TAILS

Steps:

• Start salted water boiling for the stringbeans. Melt butter 1-2 minutes in covered Microwave-safe dish big enough to fit the fish. Add chopped shallot,* cover & cook on high 2 minutes, checking after 1 minute to make sure it hasn't burned. Salt and pepper the salmon and lay it, skin side down, on top of shallot, tucking under the small tip. Pour wine over fish. Sprinkle with the chopped fresh dill. Cover and microwave 1 or 2 minutes, checking after 1 minute .Run a knife down the middle and push apart the halves to see if it is done. If not, switch halves so the inside edge of each half is now close to the side of the dish. Then add 30 seconds more in the microwave, covered. Remove fish to heated dinner plates. Pour the fish juices over the beans and serve them with the reserved dill on top. *Arrange chopped shallot in a circle because the center of the dish tends to cook faster. Sometimes I skin the salmon or ask the butcher to do it. Your choice.

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.
