Simply Baked Northwest Salmon Recipes

EASY BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Arrange rack, preheat the oven, and prepare the baking sheet: Place the rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large-rimmed baking sheet with foil, being sure to leave several inches of overhang on both long ends to make your foil packet.
• Prepare the salmon: While the oven preheats, remove the salmon from the fridge to come to temperature, 15-20 minutes. Place the salmon on the prepared pan and pat both sides dry with a paper towel. Feel the flesh for any bones and remove them with fish tweezers or your fingers.
• Season the salmon: Season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper.
• Make the butter sauce and pour over salmon: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic, honey, and lemon juice. Fold up the edges of the foil to contain the liquid and pour the butter mixture evenly over the top of the salmon.
• Seal the salmon with foil: Bring the two long sides of the foil together and then fold them down a few times to close the top of your packet. Then, tuck each end under to close the sides. If your piece of foil is not large enough, take a second sheet of foil and cover the salmon, pinching the foil to seal the edges.
• Bake the salmon: If you're cooking farm-raised salmon, it should be done in 18-20 minutes, depending on the thickness. If you're using wild-caught salmon, check for doneness beginning at 10 minutes. If you open the packet and see the fish isn't finished cooking, it should be opaque on top and flake easily with a fork, close the foil packet back up, return it to the oven, and check again in another 2-3 minutes.
• Broil the salmon: Carefully open the foil package to uncover the salmon completely, pushing the foil down and out of the way. Set the oven to broil on high. If you have an electric stove, return the salmon to the oven, still on the middle rack. Broil the salmon for 2-3 minutes. You'll see it turn just slightly golden with some charred spots but be sure not to burn the garlic. If you have a gas stove, you may want to reduce your broiling time to 1 minute or skip it all together.
• Serve: Let the salmon rest for about 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped herbs. Transfer to a serving platter or serve directly from the pan!

EASY SALMON SUSHI

Steps:

• Tip the rice into a sieve. Place under a cold running tap and rinse until the water runs clear, then drain really well and place in a saucepan. Pour over 350ml water. Bring to the boil and cook about for 5 mins until most of the liquid has boiled away and small holes appear in the rice. Turn the heat down as low as it will go. Cover the pan with a really tight-fitting lid or tin foil and leave for 10 mins. Then turn off the heat and leave for another 10 mins.
• Heat the rice wine vinegar, sugar and a pinch of salt together in the microwave for about 30 secs until the sugar dissolves. Tip the cooked rice into a large bowl. Pour over the warm rice wine mixture and stir through, then leave the rice to cool down.
• Line a 20 x 20cm baking tin or similar-size dish with a double layer of cling film. Spread the sushi rice over the bottom of the tin (the mixture will be a little sticky, so you may have to wet your hands to do this). Then cover the rice completely with smoked salmon slices. Fold the cling film over the salmon to cover pressing down well with your hands to mould everything together. You can chill the sushi in the fridge until ready to use, but try not to chill it for longer than 3 hrs or the rice will harden.
• To serve, dip a sharp knife into a little hot water to stop the rice from sticking, then cut into 16 rectangles.
