Herbed Citrus Salmon Recipes

SLOW-ROASTED CITRUS SALMON WITH HERB SALAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300 degrees. Season salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Place in a large baking dish with sliced lemons, orange and thyme (or rosemary, oregano or marjoram), if using.
• Drizzle everything with olive oil and bake until salmon is just turning opaque at the edges and is nearly cooked through, 25 to 35 minutes.
• Toss fresh herbs with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and flaky salt. Serve alongside salmon.

GRILLED CITRUS SALMON

Steps:

• Combine the first seven ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid; shake well. Grill salmon over medium heat, skin side down, for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Baste every 5 minutes with citrus mixture. Garnish with orange or lemon slices if desired.

HERB AND CITRUS SALMON POCKETS

Steps:

• Mince a few herb leaves for butter sauce and set aside.
• Cut two deep bias cut slits across the width of each fillet.
• Stuff each slit with a citrus slice and herbs.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Combine butter, garlic, citrus zest, juice and minced herbs in a small pan over high heat, and boil for 1 minute.
• Pour the butter sauce over fillets in a baking dish.
• Bake for eight to 12 minutes depending on thickness.

CITRUS BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large 9 by 13 shallow baking dish place 1 lemon slice with 1 orange slice side by side so you'll end up with 4 groups. Each salmon fillet will have its own bed of citrus. Season each fillet with salt and pepper then place each salmon fillet over the 2 slices of lemon and orange. In a small bowl mix the dill, sun-dried tomatoes and tomato oil. Divide mixture on top of the salmon fillet, then drizzle with the wine. Place the baking dish in the oven and cook for 8 to 10 minutes.

ROASTED SALMON WITH GREEN HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Place the salmon fillet in a glass, ceramic, or stainless-steel roasting dish and season it generously with salt and pepper. Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice and drizzle the mixture evenly over the salmon. Let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• In a small bowl, stir together the scallions, dill, and parsley. Scatter the herb mixture over the salmon fillet, turning it so that both sides are generously coated with the green herbs. Pour the wine around the fish fillet.
• Roast the salmon for 10 to 12 minutes, until almost cooked in the center at the thickest part. The center will be firm with just a line of uncooked salmon in the very center. (I peek by inserting the tip of a small knife.) Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Cut the salmon crosswise into serving pieces and serve hot with lemon wedges.

SALMON WITH HERB AND CITRUS ORZO

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 C olive oil over medium high heat. Add red onion and mushrooms; saute 4 minutes. Transfer onion and mushrooms to a small bowl; set aside.
• Add orzo and chicken broth to skillet; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low.
• Cook, covered, until orzo is tender and broth is absorbed, stirring occasionally, about 12-15 minutes.
• Add red onions, mushrooms, dill, lemon zest, and almonds. Season with salt and pepper.
• While the orzo is cooking, heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper. Add to skillet and saute just until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm.
• To Serve: Spoon orzo onto plates; top with salmon. Garnish with a dill sprig and a lemon wedge.

CITRUS-MARINATED SALMON

Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Place salmon skin side down on grill rack. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 10-12 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
