Roasted Salmon Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees and place a rack near the top of the oven. Place the potatoes on a sheet pan, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss. Arrange the potatoes so the cut sides are facing down and roast for 20 minutes.
• While the potatoes roast, fill a medium saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add the eggs and cook over medium heat for exactly 6 minutes. Remove the eggs, and when they are cool enough to handle, peel and quarter them.
• Make the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, the garlic, anchovy (if using), 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in 4 tablespoons of olive oil and set aside.
• Add the haricots verts, tomatoes and olives to the sheet pan with the potatoes, along with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Using tongs, toss well, then move the vegetables to the sides to create space in the center of the sheet pan. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them, skin-side down, in the center of the sheet pan.
• Brush fillets with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Roast on the top rack in the oven for 10 minutes. Turn the broiler to high and broil for 2 to 3 minutes to lightly brown the salmon. (If you don't have a broiler, roast salmon for an additional 2 to 3 minutes instead.) The salmon should flake easily and be just cooked in the center.
• Add the greens to the large bowl with the dressing, and toss gently. Place greens on a large platter, leaving a narrow border at the platter's edges. Place the salmon fillets in the middle of the platter, then arrange the roasted vegetables and eggs around them. Sprinkle with salt and serve.

Steps:

• For the roasted salmon: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a cooking sheet with foil and lightly oil.
• Pat the salmon dry. Check for bones by running your hand over the salmon from the thinnest to thickest end. Remove any bones. Sprinkle the salmon with the 2 teaspoons oil, lemon zest salt and pepper. Cook the salmon until just cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes. Let the salmon cool slightly, then flake with a fork.
• For the yogurt sauce: Whisk the yogurt, 1 tablespoon water, lemon zest, juice, mint, salt and pepper in a bowl until combined.
• For the Greek salad: Toss the olives, tomatoes, lettuce, scallion and cucumber in a medium bowl. Whisk the vinegar, oregano, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a small bowl. Gradually add the oil, whisking until emulsified. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss. Sprinkle the feta on top.
• Serve the flaked roasted salmon on top of the Greek salad and drizzle with the yogurt sauce.

Steps:

• For the salmon and vegetables: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the olive oil, garlic, dill, finely chopped shallot, lemon juice, red pepper flakes and smoked paprika in a small bowl or jar. Shake or stir to combine. Set aside.
• Fold a large piece of parchment paper in half, unfold it and drizzle with a little olive oil. On the bottom half of the parchment, layer the potatoes, zucchini and sliced shallots, seasoning each layer with salt and pepper. Place the salmon on top of the bed of veggies. Drizzle with about half of the lemon dressing (reserve the rest for serving), making sure to include the garlic and spices as you drizzle. Lay the lemon slices on top of the salmon. Fold the parchment over the salmon and fold the edges to seal in all the ingredients. Place the pouch on a sheet pan and bake until the salmon is just cooked and the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
• For the salad and vinaigrette: Meanwhile, add the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt and garlic to a small bowl and mix to combine. In a slow steady stream, add 2 to 4 tablespoons olive oil, stirring as you go to emulsify.
• To serve, add the greens to a bowl and toss with the vinaigrette. Top with the kalamata olives, feta and cucumber.
• Unwrap the parchment and transfer the salmon and vegetables to the top of the salad. Serve with the reserved lemon dressing on the side.

Steps:

• For the salad: Quarter the cucumber, lengthwise, and remove the seeds, but leave on the skin. Thinly slice the cucumbers and mix with the salt in a colander. Set in the sink for about 1 hour to drain. Meanwhile, place the yogurt in a coffee filter-lined strainer and set over a bowl to drain, about 1 hour.
• Rinse the cucumbers with cold, running water. Press down on the cucumbers to extract as much liquid as possible and pat dry. Toss the cucumbers with the drained yogurt, dill, sugar, orange zest, cayenne, and season with pepper, to taste.
• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Cut the salmon lengthwise and then crosswise to make 4 equal squares of fish. Lightly sprinkle the salmon all over with a pinch of turmeric and rub in slightly to coat evenly. Season salmon with salt and pepper and place on a very lightly oiled oven-proof nonstick pan. Roast the salmon, turning the pieces carefully with a spatula after about 10 minutes, until just cooked through, about 20 minutes in all. (Slow-roasted salmon looks bright orange when done, and will be luscious in the center.) To serve, divide the cucumbers between 4 plates, top with the salmon and garnish with dill fronds.

Steps:

• Break the salmon into very large flakes, removing any skin and bones, and place the salmon in a bowl. Add the celery, red onion, dill, capers, raspberry vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Season, to taste. Mix well and serve cold or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Sit one of the salmon fillets, skin-side down, on a large sheet of foil or baking parchment. Scatter with the lemon slices, herbs, shallots and seasoning, then sit the second fillet on top - skin-side up. Tie in 2-3 places with string to secure, splash with wine and fold up the foil or paper to seal. Can be chilled for up to 3 hrs.
• Place on a baking sheet and bake for 50 mins-1 hr until the salmon is cooked through - check by poking a knife into the fillets and making sure the flesh flakes easily. Serve in foil or paper on a serving plate, or carefully lift out using a couple of fish slices. Slice into portions and serve with the Lemon & chive mayonnaise and New potatoes 'Lyonnaise' (see 'Goes well with' recipes) and half-steamed broccoli (see below).

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Rub the peppers with a little olive oil, put in a roasting tin and cook in the oven for 15 mins. Rub the salmon with a little oil, add to the tin and roast for 8 mins more. Lift out the peppers, pop into a bowl, cover with cling film and set aside. Cool the salmon, then chill until ready to serve.
• When cool enough to handle, peel the skin from the peppers, then slice the flesh into strips. Mash the capers with the oil and vinegar, garlic and seasoning. Mix with the pepper strips, any pepper juices and the shredded basil. Set aside.
• Blanch the beans in boiling, salted water for 2-3 mins until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Set aside until ready to serve.
• To serve, flake the salmon into large chunks. Halve, stone and roughly chop the avocados, squeezing over a little lemon juice to stop them browning. Layer the fennel, rocket, basil leaves, avocado, beans, salmon and peppers with their dressing on a large platter. Gently toss, then serve immediately with crusty bread.

Steps:

• Make the vinaigrette: In a bowl, combine the vinegar, lemon juice, shallots, lemon zest and rosemary.
• Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Make the salmon salad: Roast the bell peppers directly over a gas flame or under the broiler as close to the heat as possible until charred all over.
• Transfer to a paper bag and let steam for 15 minutes.
• Scrape off the blackened skins and discard the stems, ribs and seeds.
• Cut the peppers into 1/3-inch-thick strips.
• Put the sliced potatoes in a medium saucepan of salted water and bring to a boil.
• Remove from the heat and let sit in the water until tender, about 18 minutes.
• Drain and transfer to a plate.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet.
• Add the mushrooms and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl.
• Preheat the oven to 500°F Lay the salmon fillet, skinned side down, on a lightly-oiled baking sheet and remove any stray bones with tweezers.
• Sprinkle the salmon with the thyme, fennel seeds and celery seeds; season with salt and black pepper.
• Roast for about 10 minutes, until the salmon is opaque but still slightly rare in the centre.
• Remove the salmon from the oven and preheat the broiler.
• Broil for about 1 minute, or until the top is browned.
• Break the salmon into large chunks.
• In a large bowl, combine the arugula with the fennel, mushrooms, roasted red peppers, potatoes and cilantro.
• Add 3/4s of the vinaigrette and toss.
• Arrange the salad on large plates or shallow bowls and top with chunks of the salmon.
• Drizzle the fish with the remaining vinaigrette and serve.
