Pesto Salmon Roulades Recipes

PESTO SALMON

Steps:

• Lightly coat a baking pan with cooking spray.
• Place each salmon fillet in the baking pan and drizzle with olive oil.
• Apply freshly ground pepper to taste over each fillet.
• Gently spread pesto sauce over each fillet.
• Sprinkle parmesean cheese over each fillet.
• Optional: Place plum tomatoes slices on each fillet and sprinkle with a bit of additional parmesean cheese.
• Bake prepared salmon fillets in a 350 oven for approximately 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork.

STEPHAN'S BROILED SALMON PESTO

Steps:

• Lightly oil a baking pan large enough to accommodate the fish. Place salmon in pan skin side down. Run finger over flesh to make sure all bones have been removed. Use pliers to pull out any that remain. Squeeze juice of one lemon and white wine over fish. Marinate 15 minutes.
• Preheat broiler.
• Coat the top side of the fish with thick layer of pesto. It should be between an 1/8th to a 1/4 of an inch thick, and cover the surface of the fish.
• Place fish under the broiler about nine inches from heat source. Broil for 8 to 10 minutes per inch of thickness, or until fish flakes and flesh is opaque. Pesto should have formed a heavily browned crust. Remove from the oven, and set aside for a few minutes. Squeeze half of second lemon over fish. Slice remaining lemon half into thin slices. Place lemon slices on individual servings, or arrange on the whole flank if serving at the table.

PESTO-SALMON ROULADES

Steps:

• Cut each salmon piece in half lengthwise so that it is about 3/4 inch wide. Spread each with about 1/2 teaspoon of the pesto; top with roasted bell pepper strip. Carefully roll up.
• Place each roulade on bagel chip. Serve immediately.

HERBED SALMON ROULADES WITH LEMON BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Prepare fillet; starting at thick edge, slice fillet so that it opens like a book (be careful not to cut all the way through the opposite side). Coat inside of salmon "book" with mustard, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with herbs and zest. Slide 6 pieces of kitchen twine under fish, and roll it up. Tie twine to hold roll together. Tie 6 more pieces of twine around fish. Slice the fish into 12 individually tied rounds. Transfer slices to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until ready to cook (up to 1 day).
• In a small saucepan, boil wine, vinegar, and shallot until pan is almost dry, 20 to 25 minutes. Add cream and return to a boil. Remove pan from heat, and gradually whisk in butter until thickened and glossy. Season with salt and pour through a fine-mesh sieve.
• Roast salmon until fish flakes easily, 10 to 12 minutes. Carefully remove twine from each roulade. Drizzle with sauce.

SESAME SALMON ROULADES

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan until hot. Place a salmon fillet on a clean work surface. Using a sharp knife, slice the fillet open horizontally, leaving one end intact. Spread fillet open, and turn over. Season with salt and pepper. Tightly roll the fillet. Secure with a wooden toothpick. Repeat with remaining fillets.
• Pour sesame seeds into a small dish. Place a roulade in the seeds, and thoroughly coat bottom; drizzle sesame-coated side with olive oil. Repeat on other side. Coat and drizzle the remaining three roulades.
• In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar and soy sauce; set aside.
• Fold the edges of a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil to form a shallow baking pan; place on grill. Arrange roulades on foil; grill until opaque halfway through, 4 to 6 minutes. Turn roulades over; grill until cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from grill, and drizzle with reserved soy mixture. Serve on a bed of cucumber strips, if desired.

PESTO SALMON PASTA

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Remove the skin and bones from the cooked salmon.
• Gently break into large pieces. Set aside.
• Bring water to boil in a large pot over high heat. Add some salt to the boiling water, then add the pasta and stir.
• When you've added the pasta to the water, whisk together the pesto, cream, and sour cream in a large saucepan. Heat this mixture over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently with a wire whisk.
• Stir the salmon pieces into the cream mixture with a wooden spoon and continue heating over low heat; the mixture will start to simmer .
• Drain the pasta when it is cooked to al dente .
• Add the drained pasta to the salmon mixture along with half of the Parmesan cheese.
• Turn the heat for the saucepan to medium and cook, tossing the mixture gently with tongs until the spaghetti is coated and the mixture is thoroughly heated.
• Serve immediately with the remainder of Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
