Baked Salmon With Cilantro Recipes

GRILLED CILANTRO SALMON

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stir together cilantro, garlic, honey, and lime juice. Heat until the honey is easily stirred, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool slightly.
• Place salmon steaks in a baking dish, and season with salt and pepper. Pour marinade over salmon, cover, and refrigerate 10 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Place salmon steaks on grill, cook 5 minutes on each side, or until fish is easily flaked with a fork.

BAKED SALMON WITH CILANTRO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°. Line rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches, with aluminum foil; spray foil with cooking spray. Mix butter, cilantro and lemon peel. Cover and refrigerate butter while preparing fish.
• Cut fish into 4 serving pieces. Place fish, skin side down, in pan. Sprinkle with salt and cumin. Drizzle with lemon juice.
• Bake uncovered 15 to 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork. Carefully lift fish from skin with pancake turner. Top each serving of fish with some cilantro butter mixture.

CILANTRO LIME BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Brush both sides of each of the fish pieces liberally with the dressing. In a small bowl, stir to evenly combine the breadcrumbs, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and cilantro, then pour onto a plate.
• Dredge the fish in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Place the fish on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake the fish for 10 to 12 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are golden and the fish has reached an internal temperature of 145°F.
• Optional: Squeeze fresh lime juice over fish before serving.

SALMON FILLET WITH CILANTRO, LIME, AND JALAPENO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine cilantro, 2 tablespoons olive oil, lime juice, and garlic in a blender. Season with salt and black pepper.Blend until creamy smooth.
• Brush a baking pan with remaining oil and place salmon in the pan. Spread cilantro mixture on the salmon; arrange tomato and jalapeno on top. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.

MAPLE-BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Remove salmon from the refrigerator. Heat oven to 325 degrees.
• Bundle the cilantro sprigs by their stems and hold them tightly, then slice the stems crosswise until you get to the leaves. Reserve leaves for garnish. Transfer sliced stems to a small bowl and stir in the maple syrup, mustard and mayonnaise until well mixed.
• Season the salmon all over with salt and pepper and place in a baking dish, skin-side down if there is skin. Slather the maple sauce all over the top.
• Bake until a paring knife slides into the center with only a little resistance, 15 to 20 minutes. When you remove the knife and touch the blade to your upper lip, it should feel very warm but not hot. The salmon will continue to heat through out of the oven while in the baking dish. Top with the reserved cilantro leaves, and squeeze lemon wedges all over just before serving.

BAKED SALMON WITH CILANTRO AND LIME

Steps:

• Grease pan with 1T olive oil.
• Place fillets, skin side down in an 8x8 baking dish.
• Combine cilantro, garlic, lime juice, remaining olive oil, and (if desired) salt in a small bowl.
• Pour mixture over fish.
• Bake at 425 for 12-15 minutes, to desired doneness. (Thicker fillets will require additional time.).

SALMON WITH GINGER AND CILANTRO

Steps:

• Gently rinse salmon fillet in very cold water, about 10 seconds each side. Pat salmon dry with paper towel. Rub sea salt into salmon, flesh-side only, until most of exposed flesh is coated. In medium sized bowl, mix together soy sauce, ginger and garlic with a fork or whisk. Once well combined, briefly mix in cilantro, just enough to cause a little "bruising" of the leaves but not so much as to completely mash them to a pulp. Pour mixture into baking dish (preferably glass). If possible, try to match the size of the baking dish as closely as possible to the size of the salmon fillet. Place salmon fillet, skin side up, in the baking dish. If the fillet is a pretty uneven thickness (i.e. a difference of more than an 1 inch), I will sometimes choose to "tuck in" the thinnest parts and/or the edges, to keep those portions from being very overcooked when the thicker portion is just finished. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F(190 C) . Cover baking dish, allow salmon to marinate for approximately 10 minutes. Baked covered salmon for 20 minutes, then remove from oven and turn fillet, if possible, to skin side down. At this point the majority of the salmon should flake easily with a fork and have changed color from a bright translucent reddish-pink to a opaque, bright orange-salmon color. Check the thickest part of the salmon with a fork, aligning tines along the natural grain of the fillet and pulling gently apart. The middle of the fillet should be opaque with a small amount of translucent portions. Return salmon to oven to bake for another 5-10 minutes, depending on how well cooked you wish it to be. Remove salmon from oven, transfer to serving plate and garnish with a few remaining cilantro leaves. Excellent served with rice, vegetables or any other mildly flavored side dish (so as not to overpower).
