Roasted Salmon With Celery And Bulgur Salad Recipes

ROASTED SALMON WITH CELERY AND BULGUR SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast walnuts on a small rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 5-8 minutes. Let cool slightly, then finely chop.
• Increase oven temperature to 450°F. Place a shallow baking dish in oven to heat. Season salmon generously with salt; set aside.
• Cook bulgur according to package directions. Set aside.
• Halve turnips, or cut into quarters or sixths if larger. Toss in a large bowl with 1 Tbsp. oil; season with salt. Arrange, cut side down; in preheated roasting dish. Cook until deep brown underneath, 15-20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Toss turnips and push them to one side of dish. Place salmon on the other side; roast until flesh is opaque and nearly cooked through, 12-15 minutes.
• Whisk yogurt, vinegar, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, and 3 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl to combine. Add walnuts, celery, preserved lemon, and raisins and toss to coat; season with salt. Fold in bulgur.
• Arrange turnips on serving platter and drizzle with lemon juice. Scatter bulgur salad over platter. Break salmon into large pieces and arrange over bulgur salad. Top with celery leaves and parsley leaves; drizzle with more oil, if desired.

SEARED SALMON WITH CITRUS AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Make the glaze for the salmon: In a small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil with the orange juice, mustard, half the chopped garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
• Make the salad dressing: In another small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil with the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir in the shallots and the remaining garlic, then set aside.
• Using a small serrated knife, peel the grapefruit and oranges and trim to remove any remaining pith. Slice all the peeled fruit crosswise into thin circles (no larger than 1/2-inch thick); remove the seeds and set aside.
• Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy stainless-steel skillet over medium-high until it's extremely hot (a drop of water flicked onto the pan should turn to steam almost immediately), about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels, brush both sides with olive oil, and season all over with salt and pepper.
• When the pan is ready, cook the salmon fillets skin-side down over medium-high without moving until the salmon skin releases easily from the pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a pair of tongs or a spatula, wiggle the fillets to loosen the skin from the bottom of the pan, then carefully flip. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly rare in the center, 4 to 5 more minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
• Transfer to a rimmed plate or serving dish, and brush the glaze all over the salmon, making sure to coat the fillets.
• Combine the arugula and fennel in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well. Add the avocado, citrus rounds and pistachios, and toss gently. Transfer to a shallow serving bowl or platter and serve alongside the salmon.

PAN-SEARED SALMON WITH CELERY, OLIVES AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Cover the currants with boiling water and set aside to soak for 20 minutes. In a separate small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of boiling water with the saffron and also leave for 20 minutes or longer.
• Gently rub the salmon fillets with 2 teaspoons of the oil, 1/3 teaspoon of salt and a good grind of pepper. Set aside while you make the relish.
• Add 1/3 cup/75 milliliters of olive oil to a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the celery and pine nuts and fry for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the nuts begin to brown (watch carefully as they can burn quickly). Turn off heat and stir in the capers and their brine, the olives, saffron and its water and a pinch of salt. Drain the currants and add them as well, along with the parsley, lemon zest and juice. Mix well and set aside.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add salmon fillets skin-side down and let cook for 3 minutes, until the skin is crisp. Reduce the heat to medium, flip the fillets over and cook 2 to 4 minutes more (depending on how much you like the salmon to be cooked).
• Divide the salmon on 4 plates and serve with the warm relish spooned on top. Scatter reserved celery leaves (if using) and serve immediately.

SALMON SALAD WITH CELERY AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Stir together onion, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let stand 30 minutes.

• Serve on toast with greens, pickled onion, and a drizzle of oil.

SALMON WITH BULGUR VEGETABLE SALAD

Steps:

• Heat the grill or broiler. Grill or broil the salmon for 4-5 on each side, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
• Serve salmon with couscous vegetable salad.

SEARED SALMON FILLETS WITH BULGUR

Steps:

• In a medium pot, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Add bulgur and stir to coat. Cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. Add 2 1/4 cups water and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until water is absorbed, 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff bulgur with a fork and stir in scallion.
• Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high. Pat salmon fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. When oil is hot, add fillets to skillet, working in batches if necessary (do not overcrowd pan and wipe clean between batches). Cook until salmon is opaque throughout, about 3 minutes per side, flipping once. Reserve 2 fillets for Chopped Salmon Salad. Divide bulgur among 4 plates and top with fish. Serve with lemon wedges if desired.
