Charbroiled Salmon With Roasted Corn And Lemon Thyme Relish Recipes

SIMPLE LEMON-HERB ROASTED SALMON

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top of the oven, and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, and brush with oil.
• Place the salmon fillets, evenly spaced, in the middle of the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bake until the outside is opaque and slightly firm to the touch and the inside flakes easily (insert a small paring knife between layers to check; the color will vary from bright pink (rare) to pale pink to orange (well-done)), 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the desired doneness.
• Remove the fillets from the oven, top each with a piece of butter and let melt over the top and down the sides. Sprinkle with herbs, lemon juice and salt to taste. Transfer the salmon to serving plates with a spatula. Serve hot or at room temperature.

GRILLED SALMON WITH BACON AND CORN RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill (preferably charcoal) for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place bacon in a skillet over medium heat and cook until browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Cut kernels from corn ears into a large bowl using a sharp knife held at a 45-degree angle. Scrape cobs with the back of the knife into the bowl to get the juices.
• Stir white and light green parts of green onions into bacon and add red bell pepper; cook and stir until vegetables just start to become tender, about 2 minutes. Stir corn into bacon mixture and let corn just warm through. Season with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, a few chopped dark green onion tops, olive oil, and rice vinegar. Turn off heat under relish.
• Spread vegetable oil onto both sides of salmon fillets and season fish with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
• Cook on preheated grill until fish shows good grill marks, the flesh flakes easily, and fish is still slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. A crack that opens up in the salmon flesh as you cook will let you see how done the salmon is in the middle.
• Divide spinach leaves onto 2 plates and top each with a salmon fillet and half the bacon relish. Sprinkle on a few green onion tops for garnish.

SLOW-BAKED SALMON WITH LEMON AND THYME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Brush with 1/2 tablespoon oil. Place salmon fillets, skin side down, on prepared baking sheet. Mix remaining oil, thyme, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Spread thyme mixture over salmon fillets, dividing equally. Season with salt and pepper. Let stand 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
• Bake salmon until just opaque in center, 15-18 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

BARBECUED SALMON WITH ROASTED CORN RELISH

Steps:

• Roast the corn by cooking it on a grill or in a 450-degree oven, turning often until kernels are well browned. Cut corn off cobs.
• Roast the poblano chiles (or jalapenos) and red peppers over a gas flame or undera broiler until blackened. Place in a paper bag until cool. Peel and seed, then cut into 1/4-inch squares (finely chop jalapenos). Chop sun-dried tomatoes (if not packed in oil, soak in warm water until soft, then drain and chop).
• In a bowl, combine corn, peppers, tomatoes, onion, garlic, and parsley. Season with lime juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. For best flavor, let sit at room temperature 1 hour before serving.
• Light a charcoal fire. Coat salmon with plenty of pepper, rubbing it into flesh. Sprinkle lightly with salt and rub in.
• When coals are gray, ashy, and very hot, brush surface of fish with oil. Brush grill with oil; place fish on grill skin side up. Grill for 5 to 10 minutes, or until edges turn light pink; then carefully turn over, using a spatula to detach surface of fish if it sticks. Grill skin side down for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until flesh feels fairly firm when pressed with a finger.
• Carefully remove salmon, using two spatulas, and place on a long platter. Surround with corn relish, and garnish with parsley. Break off pieces of salmon and serve with some of the relish.

BAKED SALMON WITH BASIL AND LEMON THYME CRUST

Steps:

• Rub 1/2 teaspoon olive oil over the salmon and season lightly with salt and pepper. Transfer salmon to the center of the grill pan.
• Place asparagus in a bowl. Drizzle 1 1/2 teaspoon olive oil over asparagus; season with salt and pepper. Mix well and arrange around salmon.
• Place garlic cloves in a food processor or blender; process until crushed. Add Parmesan cheese, basil, lemon juice, lemon thyme, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; blend well. Add remaining 3 tablespoons oil and bread crumbs; pulse until well mixed.
• Top salmon with herb mixture, forming a crust.
• Set Panasonic Countertop Induction Oven to "Auto Cook". Select Fish with Vegetables setting. Place the grill pan in the oven and cook until salmon flakes easily with a fork and asparagus is tender, about 18 minutes.

ROASTED SALMON WITH LEMON RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spread pine nuts on a rimmed baking sheet; toast in oven, tossing occasionally, until lightly golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from sheet, and reserve.
• Meanwhile, place raisins and lemon zest in a small bowl; cover with boiling water. Set aside.
• Place salmon fillets on the baking sheet used in step 1; season with salt and pepper. Roast until salmon is opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, drain and discard liquid from raisins and lemon zest. Return raisins and zest to bowl; add lemon juice, pine nuts, parsley, and oil. Season with salt and pepper; stir to combine.
• Dividing evenly, make a bed of spinach on each of 4 plates, place salmon fillet on spinach; spoon lemon relish over the top.
