Beet And Dill Roasted Wild Salmon Recipes

BEET-AND-DILL-ROASTED WILD SALMON

Steps:

• Combine beet, dill, horseradish, zest, and 2 tablespoons oil in a bowl. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Season both sides of salmon generously with salt and pepper; transfer to sheet. Spread beet mixture on top. Let stand 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss potatoes with remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Shingle potatoes in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, in a single layer. Bake until tender, about 35 minutes; remove from oven.
• Remove beet mixture from top of salmon with a spoon; spread over center of potatoes. Top beet mixture with fish (you may need to tuck part of tail end under fish to fit in pan), drizzle with oil, and bake until salmon is medium-rare, 10 to 12 minutes. Squeeze with lemon, garnish with dill fronds, and serve.

BEET AND WALNUT SALAD WITH DILL

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of an oven and preheat to 375°F.
• Remove the beet greens, if attached, leaving about 1 inch of stem attached to the beets; reserve greens for another use.
• Place the beets in a baking dish and cover with water by about 1/4 inch.
• Cover tightly and bake until they can be easily pierced with a knife, about 45 minutes or longer, depending on the size of the beets.
• When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel and cut into thin slices.
• (A mandoline helps make neat, even slices.) Place the beets in a bowl, add the vinegar and toss together gently.
• Let stand for 30 minutes.
• Add the olive oil, dill, garlic and salt, stirring gently so the slices don't break.
• Taste and add more vinegar, if needed.
• Stir in the walnuts and serve.

GARLIC AND DILL SALMON

Steps:

• In a food processor, process garlic to a rough mince, add dill and olive oil and pulse a few times to combine.
• Lay fish fillets in a baking dish, skin side down. Rub garlic mixture over fish. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Do not overcook.

BEET- AND HORSERADISH-CURED SALMON

Steps:

• If using fresh horseradish, peel, cut into chunks and process in a food processor, using the steel blade. Do not grate it by hand; the fumes will be overpowering. Drape the food processor with a damp towel and carefully crack the lid, under the towel, to absorb the fumes.
• Remove pin bones from salmon and set aside. In a large stainless steel or glass bowl, combine horseradish and remaining ingredients, wearing gloves to avoid turning your hands purple.
• Choose a nonreactive pan that is just large enough to hold the salmon fillet or line a pan with plastic wrap. Drizzle a little of the beet mixture on pan and place the salmon, skin-side down, on top. Cover the flesh with remaining beet mixture, making it thinner on tail and belly section and thicker everywhere else.
• Cover with plastic wrap, place another pan on top, and weight with cans. Cure in refrigerator for 3 days.
• Gently scrape off beet mixture and discard. Cut salmon in thin slices and serve. Whole fillet, well wrapped in plastic, will last 1 week refrigerated.

ROASTED DILL SALMON

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees with the rack in the center position. Choose a baking sheet or baking dish that fits the salmon snugly (so the juices don't disperse and burn) and line it with parchment paper. Place the salmon skin-side down on the baking sheet and season well with salt and pepper.
• Combine the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl and spoon over the salmon. If you have time, flip the salmon and let marinate directly on the baking sheet, flesh-side down, for 15 minutes.
• Roast the salmon skin-side down until cooked through to your liking, 9 to 12 minutes. Serve with extra lime or orange wedges, and drizzle the pan juices over the salmon and rice.

SALMON WITH DILL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Rinse salmon, and arrange in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle salt, pepper, onion powder, and dill over the fish. Place pieces of butter evenly over the fish.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.

SALMON WITH LEMON AND DILL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
• Place salmon in the baking dish. Mix the butter and lemon juice in a small bowl, and drizzle over the salmon. Season with dill, garlic powder, sea salt, and pepper.
• Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until salmon is easily flaked with a fork.
