Herb And Citrus Salmon Pockets Recipes

CITRUS & FRESH HERB ROASTED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Dry salmon with a paper town, season both sides with salt and pepper and place on a large baking dish.
• Decorate salmon with citrus slices, onion rings, sliced garlic, herb sprig and half of the fresh herbs. I have way too much fun with this part and hope you do too.
• Drizzle salmon and all the fixings with olive oil. Season with a bit more salt and pepper.
• Bake 25-35 minutes, until salmon is just barely cooking through and turning opaque around the edges. Exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of your cut.
• Transfer salmon to a serving platter (or enjoy straight from baking dish but may want to pour some of the olive oil out if you choose to do so).
• Sprinkle the remaining half of the fresh herbs on top and enjoy.

HERB AND CITRUS SALMON POCKETS

Steps:

• Mince a few herb leaves for butter sauce and set aside.
• Cut two deep bias cut slits across the width of each fillet.
• Stuff each slit with a citrus slice and herbs.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Combine butter, garlic, citrus zest, juice and minced herbs in a small pan over high heat, and boil for 1 minute.
• Pour the butter sauce over fillets in a baking dish.
• Bake for eight to 12 minutes depending on thickness.

CITRUS SALMON SKEWERS

Steps:

• Set the oven to broil. Line a half-sheet pan (13-by-18 inches) with foil.
• Combine the citrus zests, juices, parsley, dill, paprika, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. While stirring, add the olive oil until combined; set aside.
• Add the salmon to a separate bowl. Pour half of the sauce mixture over the salmon, tossing to completely coat it. Thread the salmon onto four 15-inch metal skewers. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
• Add the salmon skewers to the sheet pan crosswise, allowing the skewers to hang off the edges and keeping the salmon from touching the pan.
• Broil until the edges of the salmon become golden and it is cooked through (no need to turn), 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bed of arugula.
• While the salmon rests, spread the Greek yogurt in a shallow bowl. Top with the remaining sauce mixture.
• Garnish the salmon with more parsley and dill. Serve with the Greek yogurt on the side.

SALMON WITH LEMON-HERB MARINADE

Steps:

• Wipe salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Combine remaining ingredients (except lemon wedges and rosemary sprigs) in small bowl and mix well. Pour mixture over salmon, making sure it is coated on both sides. Marinate for at least an hour before cooking.
• Preheat broiler or grill. Cook salmon, turning once - five to six minutes each side for medium rare.
• Place salmon on serving platter and garnish with lemon wedges and sprigs of rosemary.
