Baked Tarragon Orange Salmon Recipes

BAKED TARRAGON ORANGE SALMON

Steps:

• Mix together orange zest, orange juice, oil, tarragon, ginger, salt, and pepper in a resealable plastic bag.
• Add fish to bag, seal, and shake bag gently to coat.
• Let marinate 3-4 hours-but no longer as your fish may start to toughen up if overmarinated.
• Preheat oven to 450 F and bake fish in a casserole dish 8-12 minutes or until it has just started to flake easily with a fork.

BAKED SALMON WITH TARRAGON AND BACON

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 400°F.
• Butter (or spray with non-stick spray) one side of a large sheet of aluminum foil (double the size needed to hold the salmon fillets in one layer); place in a baking dish (butter side up) large enough to hold the salmon (again, in one layer).
• Fry the finely chopped onion in butter in a frypan until soft and golden but not brown.
• Add the bacon and tarragon and cook for another two minutes.
• Stir in the lemon juice and remove from heat.
• Place the salmon fillets on the foil in the baking dish.
• Cover each fillet with some of the onion/bacon mixture and drizzle any pan juices over as well.
• Fold the foil over the fish and seal to make a parcel.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
• May be served with a dollops of thick cream or creme fraiche (but I personally don't think it needs it!).

ORANGE ROASTED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• In a small bowl or cup, stir together the lemon pepper, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Place the slices from one of the oranges in a single layer in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place a layer of onion slices over the orange. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil, and sprinkle with half of the herb mixture.
• Place the dish in the preheated oven, and roast for about 25 minutes, or until the onions are browned and tender. Remove the dish from the oven, and increase the temperature to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Push the onion and orange slices to the outer edge of the baking dish, and place the salmon fillets in the center. Season with the remaining half of the herb mixture. Whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice and honey in a small bowl. Pour evenly over the salmon.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the salmon is opaque in the center. Remove fillets to a serving dish, and discard the roasted orange. Garnish fillets with roasted onions and fresh orange slices.

SALMON STEAKS WITH ORANGE AND TARRAGON SAUCE

Steps:

• Wipe the steaks dry with paper towels and sprinkle with olive oil, one tablespoon tarragon leaves and pepper. Leave to marinate for one hour.
• Meanwhile, preheat broiler to high.
• Melt the butter and soften the shallots without browning. Add the tomatoes, orange juice and white wine and reduce by half, over high heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Broil the fish for three to five minutes on each side. Place on a heated platter and pour the sauce on top. Sprinkle with remaining tarragon and serve.

DILL-TARRAGON SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a glass baking dish by spraying with nonstick cooking spray.
• Mix together yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, tarragon, dill, mozzarella, and Parmesan in a small bowl. Place fish fillets into prepared baking dish, and spread evenly with cheese mixture.
• Bake in preheated oven until fish flakes when tested with a fork, about 15 minutes.
