Baked Sockeye Salmon With Bell Peppers And Capers Recipes

BAKED SOCKEYE SALMON WITH BELL PEPPERS AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Char the peppers, skin them, split them, and remove their core and seeds. Cut them into strips less than an inch wide and 1 1/2 -inch long. You can prepare the peppers early the same day that you are making the fish for dinner.
• Turn on the oven to 375°.
• Wash the fish in cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
• Coat a baking dish with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Lay the salmon down in the pan, skin side facing down if you have long fillets. Distribute all around the salmon the peppers, capers, and the whole peeled garlic cloves. Sprinkle with a liberal quantity of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pour the remaining olive oil over the fish. Put the dish in the preheated oven and cook for 16 minutes. Let it settle for a few minutes before serving.

OVEN ROASTED WHOLE SOCKEYE SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• With aluminum foil, line large sheet pan (11.5 by 15-inches) so it completely covers the tray. Leave about 12 to 14 inches of excess foil extended over the tray so you can later wrap the fish. Place the cooling rack on the foiled tray allowing for the fish to be elevated.
• Make sure the salmon is fully rinsed and patted dry. With your hands, rub olive oil around the outside and inside cavity of the salmon. In a small mixing bowl, add the thyme, oregano, garlic, sea salt, and crab boil seasoning. Mix together until incorporated. Rub the inside and outside of the salmon with the herb mixture. Place salmon on the cooling rack and then cover fish completely with the excess aluminum foil. Place into the oven for 15 minutes.
• Check to see if fish is tender by opening the foil and looking inside the cavity. If there is a light pink color, the fish is ready to serve. If not, keep in the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes maximum. Once salmon is a light pink color, remove from the oven, cut open aluminum foil.
• To serve, slide a serving spatula between the meat and the bone of the fish. Scoop out and serve.
