Wild Salmon And Romanesco Pilaf Recipes

SWEET & SPICY ROASTED SALMON WITH WILD RICE PILAF

Steps:

• Thaw salmon, if frozen. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 15-by-10-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Place the salmon in the prepared pan. Whisk vinegar and honey in a small bowl; drizzle half of the mixture over the salmon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Roast the salmon until the thickest part flakes easily, about 15 minutes. Drizzle with the remaining vinegar mixture.
• Coat a 10-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Add bell pepper and jalapeño; cook, stirring frequently, just until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in scallion greens.
• Top 4 of the salmon fillets with the pepper mixture and parsley. Serve with pilaf. (Refrigerate the remaining salmon for another use, see Note.)

WILD SALMON AND ROMANESCO PILAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium. Add onion; cook, stirring, until tender, about 6 minutes. Add rice; cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Stir in 2 cups water, almonds, and 3/4 teaspoon salt; season with pepper.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover; cook 5 minutes. Remove lid; add romanesco in an even layer and season with salt. Cover; continue cooking until rice and romanesco are tender, 10 minutes.
• Uncover skillet; remove from heat. Season fish with salt and pepper; nestle into rice mixture. Drizzle fish and romanesco with oil; bake in oven until fish is just cooked through, 7 to 9 minutes. Using a zester, finely grate lemon zest over fish; sprinkle with herbs. Transfer fish to plates. Fluff rice mixture with fork; serve with fish and lemon wedges.
