Salmon With Sugar Snap Peas And Bacon Recipes

SPICED SALMON WITH SUGAR SNAP PEAS AND RED ONION

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon oil, garlic and baharat. Season salmon all over with salt and black pepper. Rub spice mixture all over salmon. Set salmon aside while slicing the onions and sugar snap peas.
• Cut the onions in half root-to-stem, then peel them and slice into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons. Trim the peas and cut them in half crosswise.
• In a large, preferably nonstick ovenproof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over high heat. Add fish, skin-side down if there's skin, and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer salmon to a plate, browned-side up. (Don't sear the other side; the salmon will finish cooking in the oven.)
• Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Stir in onions and cook until lightly golden, 3 minutes. Add snap peas and a pinch each of salt and pepper, stirring everything to coat with pan juices. Cook until peas have softened and browned slightly, 5 to 7 minutes. Put salmon, browned-side up, on top of peas and transfer pan to the oven. Roast until fish is just cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes longer.
• Squeeze a little lime juice over salmon and transfer fish to serving plates. Stir herbs into peas and onions. Taste, and add more salt and lime juice, if needed. Serve with the salmon, with the lime wedges on the side.

FETTUCCINE WITH SALMON AND SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs, adding the snap peas during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the salmon; season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, turning once, until the salmon is just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the pasta and snap peas to the skillet along with 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta cooking water, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the herbs and lemon juice. Cook, tossing and adding more of the reserved cooking water if necessary, until the pasta is coated, about 1 more minute. Season with salt and pepper. Top with the salmon.
