Salmon Fiesta Recipes

SALMON WITH SALSA FRESCA

Steps:

• Start a charcoal or gas grill; fire should be moderately hot and grill rack about 4 inches from heat source. Or, heat oven to 500 degrees.
• Chop tomatoes and combine them in a bowl with onion, chili, cilantro, lime juice and some salt. Set aside.
• Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. If grilling, rub fish with a little oil as well; put it on grill, skin side down, and let it sit for 4 to 5 minutes, then turn once (don't worry if part of skin sticks to grill). Cook for about 3 minutes more, until medium-rare.
• If roasting, heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat for a minute. Add oil and, a few seconds later, salmon, skin side up. Sear for a minute, then transfer to oven and roast until medium-rare, about 10 minutes. Allow to rest for a minute or so, then remove skin. Turn over and serve, passing salsa at the table.

SALMON FIESTA

Steps:

• Sprinkle salmon with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and green bell pepper; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; stir. Add tomatoes; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley, tarragon, dill, cilantro, and mint. Add cayenne pepper and sugar; season with salt and pepper. Stir in avocado.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pour remaining 2 tablespoons oil into a bowl. Place 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a cutting board, brush with oil and cover with a second sheet. Place salmon on top of pastry, toward the bottom edge. Top with 1 to 2 spoonfuls of the tomato-herb sauce, spreading evenly. Roll the pastry over the salmon; seal edges. Place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 45 minutes. Reheat remaining sauce and serve with the salmon.

FIESTA BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• In a small bowl combine all ingredients except the fillets.
• Pour half of the sauce into a casserole.
• Add the salmon and pour the remainder of the sauce over the fillets.
• Bake in oven for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, or until it is adequately cooked in the middle.

BAKED FETA CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a small baking dish arrange the sprigs of thyme along the bottom.
• Wash the fillets and dry them with paper towels. Rub the fish with the extra-virgin olive oil and the lemon juice, and then season with black pepper, to taste.
• Arrange the fillets in the baking dish on top of the thyme. Next, break up the feta and sprinkle on top of the salmon. Add the white wine to the dish and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the fish from the oven and serve.
