Beet And Dill Roasted Wild Salmon Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees with the rack in the center position. Choose a baking sheet or baking dish that fits the salmon snugly (so the juices don't disperse and burn) and line it with parchment paper. Place the salmon skin-side down on the baking sheet and season well with salt and pepper.
• Combine the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl and spoon over the salmon. If you have time, flip the salmon and let marinate directly on the baking sheet, flesh-side down, for 15 minutes.
• Roast the salmon skin-side down until cooked through to your liking, 9 to 12 minutes. Serve with extra lime or orange wedges, and drizzle the pan juices over the salmon and rice.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Cut the greens from the beets, leaving 1/2 inch of stem still attached. (Save the leaves for sautéing later; they are delicious!) Clean the beets well, and toss them with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt.
• Place the beets in a roasting pan with a splash of water. Cover tightly with foil, and roast about 40 minutes, until tender when pierced. (The roasting time will depend on the size and type of beet.) When the beets are done, carefully remove the foil. Let cool, and peel the beets by slipping off the skins with your fingers. Cut the beets into 1/2-inch wedges.
• Once the beets are in the oven, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the thyme, and 1 teaspoon salt. Place in a roasting pan, cover with foil, and cook in the oven about 30 minutes, until tender when pierced. When the potatoes have cooled, cut them in half.
• Remove the salmon from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking, to bring it to room temperature.
• Turn the oven down to 250°F and place a shallow pan of water on the bottom rack.
• Finely grate the zest of the lemon until you have 1 teaspoon. Combine the lemon zest, shallots, dill, tarragon, and parsley in a small bowl, and stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• Place the salmon, skin side down, on a baking sheet, and season with 2 teaspoons kosher salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Smear about a third of the herb mixture on the fish, and turn it over. Slather the skin side of the fish with the remaining herb mixture, and season with the fleur de sel and a little more black pepper.
• Place the salmon on a wire rack set on a baking sheet, or in a roasting pan. Bake the salmon about 25 minutes, until medium-rare to medium. The center will still be slightly translucent. To check if the salmon is done, peek between the flakes. If it doesn't separate into flakes, it's not ready yet.
• Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil, and carefully lower the eggs into the pot. Turn the heat down to low, and gently simmer exactly 9 minutes. Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. When they're completely cooled, peel the eggs, and cut them into halves. Season with salt and pepper.
• Season the beets with a healthy pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, the remaining tablespoon olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season the potatoes with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard vinaigrette. Taste both for seasoning.
• Scatter the dandelion greens on a large platter, and drizzle 1/4 cup mustard vinaigrette over them. Nestle the potatoes and beets in and around the greens. Using your hands, pull the salmon into 2-inch chunks, tucking them throughout the salad. Spoon another 1/4 cup vinaigrette over the salad, and tuck the eggs in and around the other ingredients. Season the salad with a healthy squeeze of lemon juice, and pass the rest of the vinaigrette at the table.
• Whisk the egg yolk in a small bowl with the mustard, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Thin the vinaigrette with 1 teaspoon water or more if needed. Taste for balance and seasoning.
• Although there are a lot of components to this dish, the herb marinade, beets, potatoes, eggs, and mustard vinaigrette can be prepared ahead of time and dressed at the last minute. Even the salmon can be baked an hour or two before serving, since it's served at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Pat the salmon dry, then place on the tray skin-side down (if there is skin) and season with salt and pepper.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the dill, ginger and olive oil until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Spread half of the dill-ginger mixture over the top of the salmon. (Reserve the remaining dill-ginger mixture.) Bake until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. (You'll know the salmon is done when the fish flakes or an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part is 120 degrees.)
• As the salmon cooks, cut off the top and bottom of the grapefruit and set the grapefruit down on one of the cut sides. Follow the curve of the fruit to cut away the peel and pith. Squeeze the peels into the remaining dill-ginger mixture to get out any juice. Cut the fruit in half from top to bottom, then slice into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons and remove the seeds. If your pieces are especially large, halve them again. Transfer the fruit and any juice on the cutting board to the bowl. Repeat with the oranges. Add the radishes, season generously with salt, and stir gently to combine.
• Break the salmon into large pieces, and divide across plates with the citrus salad. Peel and pit the avocado, then quarter lengthwise and add to plates. Season with salt. Spoon the juices from the bowl over top, and season with black pepper, another drizzle of olive oil, and flaky sea salt, if using.
