Rosemary Balsamic Salmon Recipes

BALSAMIC AND ROSEMARY GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Season salmon fillets to taste with sea salt, and place into a shallow, glass dish. Whisk together vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and rosemary; pour over salmon fillets. Cover, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Remove salmon from marinade, and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade. Cook on preheated grill until fish is opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side.

BALSAMIC-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• For the glaze: In a small saucepan, bring the vinegar, maple syrup, mustard and garlic to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until thick, about 12 minutes. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
• For the salmon: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the salmon on the baking sheet. Drizzle both sides of the salmon with the olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
• For the vegetables: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cook until the shallots are softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the edamame and snap peas and cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the vegetable mixture among 4 serving plates. Top with a piece of salmon and drizzle with the glaze.

ROAST SALMON WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Whisk together the brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, rosemary, garlic, and pepper in a large bowl. Reserve 1 tablespoon of marinade in a small bowl, and set aside.

Place salmon in an aluminum foil-lined baking dish, and sprinkle with salt.
• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Roast in the preheated oven until the fish is easily flaked with a fork, about 10 minutes. Brush salmon with the reserved marinade, and return to the oven. Roast until glazed, about 1 minute.

Turn and toss spinach until just wilted but still bright green. Transfer cooked spinach to strainer set over bowl.
• Wipe skillet dry if necessary. Add 1 tablespoon oil and heat over medium-high heat. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper. Place in skillet, skin side up. Sear until brown, about 3 minutes; turn fish. Cook until just opaque in center, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to plate; wipe skillet clean.
• Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to same skillet. Add chopped shallot, halved olives, and golden raisins. Stir 1 minute. Add spinach; toss until heated through, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mound spinach mixture on plates. Top with salmon.

Place asparagus and red pepper in a large bowl; drizzle with remaining oil mixture and toss to coat. Arrange around salmon in pan; sprinkle with pepper., Bake until salmon flakes easily with a fork and vegetables are tender, 12-15 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

ROSEMARY GARLIC SALMON

Steps:

• Place salmon filets on a large sheet of foil that is big enough to fold into a "pocket" or "envelope" around the fish when closed.
• Season the fillets with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cut garlic in thin slices and place on top of fillets.
• Drizzle honey on top of the fish.
• Place 2 sprigs rosemary on each fillet, you may choose to break them in half or at various intervals to release more flavor.
• drizzle with olive oil and a dash more salt.
• Fold up the tin foil sheets to completely seal in the fish, leaving no holes or gapes.
• Cook in a 180°C/375°F degree preheated oven on a baking sheet.
• Check for doneness after 10 minutes by gently folding open the foil (be careful, steam will escape!) and looking for "flakiness" with a fork and no translucent color. May require additional time.
• If using frozen fish, begin checking for doneness after 15-20 minutes.
• Serve hot, warm or cold.
• Can cook with potatoes or sweet potatoes prepared in the same fashion.
• Enjoy.

SALMON WITH GARLIC-ROSEMARY BUTTER

• Place salmon skin side down on a broiler pan. Combine butter, garlic, honey and rosemary. Brush one-third of mixture over salmon. Broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 7-9 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork, basting occasionally with remaining butter mixture.
