Oven-roasted Salmon, Cook's Illustrated

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS

For an oven-roasted salmon recipe that would give us a nicely browned exterior and a silky, moist interior, we developed a hybrid roasting method, preheating the oven to 500 degrees but then turning down the heat to 275 just before placing the fish in the oven. The initial blast of high heat firmed the exterior and rendered some excess fat. The fish gently cooked in the oven and stayed moist as the temperature slowly dropped. Our oven-roasted salmon recipe was complete when we added an easy relish with acidity and bright flavor to balance the richness of the fish.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 skin-on salmon fillet (1 ¾ to 2 pounds), about 1 ½ inches at thickest part (see note)
  • 2teaspoons olive oil
  • Salt and ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

SERVES 4

To ensure uniform pieces of fish that cook at the same rate, buy a whole center-cut fillet and cut it into 4 pieces. If your knife is not sharp enough to easily cut through the skin, try a serrated knife. It is important to keep the skin on during cooking; remove it afterward if you choose not to serve it. To serve, top with any of the related relishes.

1. Adjust oven rack to lowest position, place rimmed baking sheet on rack, and heat oven to 500 degrees. Following step by step illustrations below, use sharp knife to remove any whitish fat from belly of fillet and cut into 4 equal pieces. Make 4 or 5 shallow slashes about an inch apart along skin side of each piece, being careful not to cut into flesh.

2. Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Rub fillets evenly with oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Reduce oven temperature to 275 degrees and remove baking sheet. Carefully place salmon skin-side down on baking sheet. Roast until centers of thickest part of fillets are still translucent when cut into with paring knife or instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of fillets registers 125 degrees, 9 to 13 minutes. Transfer fillets to individual plates or platter. Top with relish (see related recipes) and serve.

Mirin Glazed Salmon

From Nigella Lawson, Featured in NIGELLA EXPRESS

INTRODUCTION

This must be the fastest way there is to create a culinary sensation. You do scarcely a thing - just dibble some salmon steaks in a dark glossy potion, most of which you get out of a jar - and what you make tastes as if you had been dedicating half your life to achieving the perfect combination of sweet, savoury, tender and crisp.

If there are only two of you eating, I would be inclined to stick to the quantities given here, letting a couple of pieces or whatever you don't eat get cold, as it makes a fantastic salad the next day.

Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

  • ¼ cup mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
  • ¼ cup soft light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 16 ounces salmon (4 x 125g / 4oz cut from the thick part so narrow but tall rather than wide and flat)
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 - 2 scallions (halved and shredded into fine strips)

METHOD

Mix the mirin, brown sugar and soy sauce in a shallow dish that will take all 4 pieces of salmon, and marinate the salmon in it for 3 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the second. Meanwhile heat a large non-stick frying pan on the hob.

Cook the salmon in the hot, dry pan for 2 minutes and then turn the salmon over, add the marinade and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the salmon to whatever plate you're serving it on, add the rice vinegar to the hot pan, and warm through.

Pour the dark, sweet, salty glaze over the salmon and top with the spring onion strips.

Serve with rice or noodles as you wish, and consider putting some sushi ginger on the table, too.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined
  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus additional as needed
  • 1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

Toss the shrimp in a medium bowl with 1 teaspoon of salt and red pepper flakes. Heat the 3 tablespoons oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and saute for about a minute, toss, and continue cooking until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a large plate; set aside.

Add the onion to the same skillet, adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the pan, if necessary, and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Return the shrimp and any accumulated juices to the tomato mixture; toss to coat, and cook for about a minute so the flavors meld together. Stir in the parsley and basil.

Chef John's Salmon

I love the combination of tarragon and Italian parsley, but I've used herbs like basil and thyme, which worked wonderfully as well. As far as the fish goes, a center-cut salmon filet is a perfect thickness for this, but other similarly shaped seafood will work.

By CHEF JOHN
Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 15 mins
Total: 25 mins
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 2 (8 ounce) center-cut salmon fillets, with skin
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 clove garlic, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

Directions

Season salmon fillets with kosher salt. Line a baking baking sheet with foil and brush lightly with vegetable oil.

Preheat oven's broiler on high and set the oven rack about 8 inches from the heat source.

Process garlic, tarragon, and parsley in a blender or mortar and pestle to form a loose paste.

Mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper into garlic paste until combined.

Place salmon fillets skin side down on the baking sheet. Spoon herb spread over the top and sides of each fillet.

Cook under the preheated broiler until fillets are well-browned, about 5 minutes. Turn the broiler off and turn the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bake until the internal temperature of the salmon is 130 degrees F (55 degrees C) and salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 3 to 4 minutes.
