Baked Salmon With Carrots And Zucchini Recipes

SALMON AND ZUCCHINI BAKED IN PARCHMENT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Fold a large piece of parchment paper (about 15 by 16 inches) in half to crease it; open, and lay it flat.
• On one side of crease, mound zucchini; top with shallot, butter, dill, and lemon slices. Season with salt and pepper. Place salmon on top; drizzle with lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper.
• To close, fold parchment over salmon; make small overlapping pleats to seal the open sides and create a half-moon-shaped packet. Place on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until salmon is opaque throughout, 15 to 17 minutes. Serve (see cooks' note).

BAKED SALMON WITH CARROTS AND ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°. In a nonstick skillet, heat oil. Add onion, sauté until tender. Add zucchini, carrots, parsley, and basil, mixing lightly. Place vegetable mixture into a lightly greased 10x10-inch baking dish. Arrange salmon steaks over vegetables and drizzle with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Cover; bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 more minutes.

BAKED SALMON WITH ZUCCHINI AND DILL CREAM

Steps:

• Boil 6 tablespoons wine in heavy medium saucepan over high heat until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add cream and boil until reduced to 1 cup, about 6 minutes. Set sauce aside.
• Preheat oven to 350ºF. Brush baking sheet lightly with oil. Arrange salmon, flat side down, on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper. Place zucchini slices atop salmon, overlapping slices to resemble fish scales. Bake salmon until just opaque in center, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add leek, carrot, squash, celery root and red bell pepper and saute until vegetables are just crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Rewarm sauce over low heat. Mix in dill. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange vegetables in center of plates. Using metal spatula, place salmon atop vegetables. Spoon sauce around salmon; serve.

SALMON AND ZUCCHINI SHEET PAN DINNER

Steps:

• Position a rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Toss the panko, Parmesan, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper together in a small bowl. Arrange the tomatoes in the center of the prepared baking sheet, cut-side up (trim a small slice from the bottom of each tomato if they will not stand upright) and spoon the panko mixture evenly over each. Spray the breadcrumbs lightly with cooking spray. Lay the zucchini halves cut-side up on one side of the tomatoes. Drizzle zucchini with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until the vegetables begin to soften and the panko topping begins to brown, about 18 minutes.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place the salmon fillet on the other side of the tomatoes. Drizzle the salmon with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until the zucchini and tomatoes are completely tender and browned in spots, and the salmon is cooked through but moist, about 12 minutes more. Divide salmon and vegetables between two plates and serve.
