Salmon With Green Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• For the sauce: Combine the oil, scallions and garlic in a small unheated skillet. Turn the heat to low and cook undisturbed until the mixture begins to sizzle, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat. Transfer the mixture to a small food processor. Add the parsley, sour cream, lemon juice, mayonnaise, tarragon, dill and anchovy and pulse to mix, then blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• For the salmon: Sprinkle the fish all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the dill and lemon slices to a large skillet with high sides. Pour in the wine and 1 cup water, then bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and place the fish on top of the lemon and dill. Cover and poach until the fish is just cooked through and flakes easily when lightly pressed with a fork at its thickest part, depending on the thickness of the fish, 8 to 12 minutes.
• Just before serving, warm the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pat the salmon skins dry with a clean towel, then add to the skillet and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Cook, turning with tongs, until lightly browned and beginning to crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. (The skin will crisp up further as it cools.) Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of the sauce on 4 plates. Top each with a piece of salmon. Garnish each with a salmon skin "chip" and serve with the remaining sauce on the side.

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, puree parsley leaves, cilantro leaves and stems, water and fresh lemon juice, garlic cloves, and coarse salt until smooth.
• Place salmon in a single layer on a heatproof plate. In a 12-inch skillet fitted with a round rack, bring 1 inch of water to a simmer over medium heat. Place plate with salmon on rack. Spoon half of parsley mixture on fillets.
• Cover; steam until fish flakes with a fork, 7 to 9 minutes (add more water as needed). Transfer salmon to serving plates; discard skin. Stir juices from steaming plate into remaining parsley mixture; spoon over salmon.

Steps:

• For the tzatziki: Combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, basil, chives, tarragon, vinegar, salt and pepper in a food processor. Blend until the herbs are finely chopped and the sauce is pale green. Scrape the sauce into a bowl.
• Coarsely grate the cucumber using the large holes of a box grater onto a paper-towel-lined-plate; pat dry. Mix the cucumber into the tzatziki. Add salt and pepper to taste. The tzatziki can be made 4 hours ahead, covered and chilled, and stirred before serving.
• For the salmon: Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Cook the salmon, skinned-side-up, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip the fish using a fish spatula and cook for 2 minutes for medium doneness.
• Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled with the tzatziki. To serve chilled, cool, cover, and chill up to 1 day.

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium. Add garlic and sunflower and cumin seeds; cook, shaking skillet frequently, until garlic is golden in places and cumin is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a food processor; add citrus zests and juices, cilantro, jalapeño, and 1 teaspoon salt. Pulse until mixture has texture of a loose paste. Add oil and 2 tablespoons water; purée until smooth. Reserve half of mojo sauce (1/2 cup); generously season fish with salt and evenly coat in remaining mojo sauce.
• Preheat grill for direct-heat cooking. Arrange citrus rounds in a single layer on grill grates in an oblong pattern slightly larger than fish. Place salmon atop citrus rounds, skin-side down. Cover grill; cook until fish turns opaque and is just cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness. Transfer fish and grilled citrus rounds to a platter. Serve with reserved mojo sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Place the salmon fillet in a glass, ceramic, or stainless-steel roasting dish and season it generously with salt and pepper. Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice and drizzle the mixture evenly over the salmon. Let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• In a small bowl, stir together the scallions, dill, and parsley. Scatter the herb mixture over the salmon fillet, turning it so that both sides are generously coated with the green herbs. Pour the wine around the fish fillet.
• Roast the salmon for 10 to 12 minutes, until almost cooked in the center at the thickest part. The center will be firm with just a line of uncooked salmon in the very center. (I peek by inserting the tip of a small knife.) Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Cut the salmon crosswise into serving pieces and serve hot with lemon wedges.
