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.

GARLIC BUTTER CREAMED SPINACH SALMON.

Steps:

• 1. Season the salmon all over with salt and pepper. 2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the salmon, skin side down and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the salmon is crisp. Gently flip, and continue cooking the salmon for another 2-3 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your liking. Remove from the skillet. If desired, peel away the skin and discard. 3. To the same skillet, add the butter, shallots, and garlic and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the crushed red pepper flakes, coconut milk, and cream cheese. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth and creamy. Add the parmesan, and spinach and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice, parsley, and chives. Remove from the heat and slide the salmon back into the sauce. 4. To serve plate each piece of salmon, then spoon the sauce over top. Serve with additional herbs.

SEARED SALMON WITH SPINACH AND CREAMY ROASTED POBLANOS

Steps:

• Roast the poblanos over and open flame or 4 inches below the broiler, turning regularly until blistered and blackened all over. About 5 minutes on open flame or 10 minutes in broiler. Place in a bowl, cover with a towel and let cool until handleable.
• Place the spinach in a microwavable bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, poke a few holes in the top and microwave on high until wilted, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Turn the oven on to its lowest setting. Heat the oil in a large skillet (preferable nonstick) over medium heat.
• Add garlic and cook til soft and lightly brown.
• Put garlic in blender.
• Rub the skin off the chiles and pull out the stem and seed pods. Rough chop and add to blender with the masa harina and milk. Blend till smooth.
• Return skillet to medium high meat. Sprinkle both sides of the fish with salt and pepper. Lay the fillets in the hot oil and cook until richly browned, about 2-3 minutes.
• Use a spatula to flip the fillets and cook until barely flakes when pressed firmly with a finger or the back of a spoon. You want it underdone.
• Move fish to oven safe plat and set in oven.
• With skillet still over medium high pour the mixture from the blender and whisk until it comes to a boil and thickens -- about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, stirring frequently for 5 minutes. If thicker than cream, add a bit more milk. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Add spinach to the sauce and stir until it is warm and well coated.
• Plate fish with sauce under or over, your preference.
• Serve.

SEARED SALMON

Steps:

• (If salmon is frozen thaw before using). Start by heating up a frying pan with a little oil (do not let it smoke) you may wish to put some finely chopped garlic in it but don't let it burn.
• Lay salmon out on a plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides to taste.
• When the pan starts to smoke just a little bit, put in the salmon. Cook for about 2 minutes turning it half way through the cooking time.
• Serve. Goes well with asparagus and hollandaise sauce.
