Tomatoey Simmered Frozen Salmon Food

LEMON-BUTTER BAKED FROZEN SALMON

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and brush with oil.
• Rinse the salmon fillets with cold water and pat them well with paper towels. Place the fillets, evenly spaced, in the middle of the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 8 minutes; remove the baking sheet from the oven and season the tops of the fillets with 1 teaspoon salt. Continue to bake until the salmon is opaque throughout and the insides flake easily when you insert a paring knife between the layers, 5 to 8 more minutes, depending on the desired doneness (cook until bright pink for rare, pale pink for medium and orange for well done).
• Meanwhile, whisk together the lemon juice and mustard in a large bowl. Add the butter and a pinch of salt and whisk until the sauce is smooth. Top each salmon fillet with some sauce.

SALMON FILLET WITH THYME AND ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Slice the tomatoes very thin and place them on an oiled roasting dish. Roast for 30 minutes to an hour, or until they begin to shrivel and get brown around the edges. Remove from the oven, scrape up with a spatula and set aside. They will not hold their shape but this does not matter.
• Preheat broiler. Sprinkle the salmon fillet with the lemon juice and olive oil and season to taste. Broil for six minutes on each side or until the fish is done as you like it. Sprinkle with thyme and tomato pieces and serve.

• Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste, red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon each salt and black pepper and cook, stirring constantly, until the tomato paste darkens, about 1 minute.Add the cherry tomatoes to the saucepan, mashing a few with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes split and soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook until slightly thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.Add the salmon to the saucepan in a single layer. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook until the salmon is opaque throughout and flakes easily when a paring knife is inserted between the layers, 7 to 9 minutes. Serve the salmon in shallow bowls with the tomato sauce ladled over.Source: foodnetwork.comRecipe formatted with the Cook'n Recipe Software from DVO Enterprises.
