Salmon Whole Standing Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Rub the salmon on all sides with 4 tablespoons of the oil and season inside and out with salt and pepper. Place the tarragon bunch inside the cavity of the fish. Put the vegetables in a large roasting pan coat with the remainder of the oil, season with salt and pepper and mix to combine. Place the salmon on the bed of vegetables. Sprinkle fish and vegetables with white wine. Place the roasting pan in the oven and cook for 45 minutes or until the fish is thoroughly cooked. About 15 minutes for every inch of fish.
• Carefully lift the fish out of the pan and place on a platter along with the roasted vegetables.
• Serve by portioning out the fish using two large spoons: filleting as you go first the top fillet, discard the center bone and then serve the bottom fillet.

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the first eight ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes., Remove head and tail from salmon if desired. Place a double thickness of heavy-duty foil on a baking sheet (longer than the length of the fish). Grease foil. Place salmon on foil; sprinkle the cavity with salt. Pour herb sauce over fish. Fold foil over fish and seal tightly. , Bake at 375° for 60-75 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork., Place salmon on a serving platter and keep warm. Strain cooking juices, reserving 1/3 cup. In a large saucepan, saute green onions in butter until tender. Stir in flour until blended. Gradually stir in the water, wine and reserved cooking juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened., Reduce heat. Stir a small amount of hot liquid into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Add the cream, salt and pepper. Cook and stir until mixture reaches 160°. Serve with the salmon.

Steps:

• Remove fish from refrigerator. With a large kitchen knife cut 3 deep parallel diagonal slashes in each side. Put the fish on a diagonal into a roasting pan 18 by 13 by 2 inches.
• Rub the olive oil and the lemon juice into both sides of the fish, including the slits, and into the internal cavities. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Marinate about 1 hour at room temperature.
• Fifteen to 20 minutes before cooking the fish, put rack in center of oven. Heat oven to 500 degrees. Cook fish 22 minutes. Using two very large spatulas, transfer fish to serving platter.
• Put the roasting pan on top of the stove over medium-high heat. Add the white wine to the pan. As it begins to bubble, scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Scrape up all the crispy bits. Reduce liquid by half. Use as a sauce with the fish.

Steps:

• Ask your fish monger to not only gut it but also scale it and cut off the fins. Leave the tail in tact for presentation.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Stuff the cavity with the celery tops, green onions, lemon slices and ginger.
• Now, to make it stand up, wad a piece of tin foil as long as the opening and stuff it in the bottom.
• Stand your salmon up on a piece of heavy tin foil longer that it is. If your tin foil is very wide, put another piece over top and seal after adding a few splashes of wine. If your foil is narrow, attach a piece to each side and the seal up the center. Don't wrap the tin foil in a manner that is comes in contact with the fish skin if you intend to serve it with the skin on.
• Bake for 35-45 minutes for a 9 lb salmon. Adjust a bit for size. You can peak in the top and insert a fork to test for doneness.
• Open and transfer to a large cutting board or platter for serving.
• My preference is to take all the skin off, except the head and tail. It will come off easily. Garnish at will.
• Serve with Recipe #253235 and/or sour cream.
