SEARED & ROASTED SALMON RECIPE - (3.7/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and then pat the salmon completely dry. Pierce a few small slits through the skin. Flip the filet to the other side, and season with kosher salt & pepper (sometimes I use Herbs de Provence). Heat an oven-proof skillet with 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil. When the skillet is HOT (the oil is shimmering, but not smoking), place the salmon (skin side up) and allow to sear (don't touch this salmon) for 2 to 3 minutes. To check, lift a small corner and look for a golden crust. Flip the salmon, skin side down and put into the oven. Roast for about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven. You can make a beautiful pan sauce from the fond that is left behind.

• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes evenly with a fork and filling is hot, 20 to 30 minutes. The time will depend on the size and weight of salmon used; check progress at 20 minutes to determine if additional baking time is needed.

SPINACH SALAD WITH GORGONZOLA CROUTONS AND BACON TWISTS

Steps:

• Gorgonzola Croutons: Preheat oven to 375°; mash cheese and butter together with a fork and spread half on one side of each of the slices of bread; cut into 1" pieces and place on a baking sheet, cheese side up.
• If not making bacon twists go ahead and bake croutons until golden, about 15 minutes; if making bacon twists, the croutons and bacon can be baked together, so prepare the bacon twists.
• Bacon Twists: Twist each slice of bacon tightly into a spiral and place on the rack of a broiler pan; press ends of bacon onto the pan, the twists will unravel a bit as they cook.

• Dressing: Combine all the ingredients and whisk until emulsified.
• Salad: In large bowl toss together the spinach, croutons and onion; plate and add the bacon twists and egg;drizzle the dressing over the salad.
