Salt And Pepper Salmon Recipes

SALT AND PEPPER SALMON

Steps:

• Run your finger up and down the center of the salmon feeling for any pin bones.
• Remove any that you find with a needle-nose pliers or tweezers.
• Using a sharp knife, cut across the width of the salmon, dividing it into 4 equal portions.
• Lightly salt the salmon and let it set a couple of minutes (this will help you get crispy skin).
• Heat about 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over med-high heat until the oil is almost smoking.
• Season the salmon with pepper, and rub about 1 ½ tablespoons butter on the skin side of each fillet.
• Add the salmon to the pan, skin side down; to get crispy skin, cook the salmon almost to completion, about 6 minutes.
• Flip the salmon and cook 1-2 minutes or until the flesh side is nicely seared.
• Transfer salmon to a platter and serve.

SALT AND PEPPER SALMON WITH SHIITAKES AND LEEKS

Steps:

• Salmon is a really unique fish that we often take for granted. Everyone smothers it with heavy sauces or encrusts it with this and that...which is fine. But why not enjoy the fish for what it is from time to time? So, simply season the salmon fillet with a nice sprinkle of salt and coarse ground pepper, both sides. Rub the fillet with a small amount of olive oil. Grill or pan sear the salmon until just medium rare or medium, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. (The saying is, you don't cook salmon, you should merely threaten it!)
• In a skillet over high heat, heat the butter until nearly smoking. Add the shiitakes and leeks and cook on high heat until the edges just begin to brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• To serve, simply spoon the mushroom/leek mixture onto salmon. Serve with a side of spinach spaetzle and a simple red pepper compound butter.
