Stewed Salmon Recipes

STEAMED SALMON

Steps:

• Fill a large skillet with water to a depth of 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Place salmon in a bamboo steamer. Cover and place steamer in skillet. Cook until just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately with lemon.

OVEN-STEAMED SALMON

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and a second rack in the upper third. Heat the oven to between 225 and 275 degrees. Grease a thin sheet pan with olive oil.
• Carefully place a frying pan of just-boiled water on the lower oven rack. Arrange the salmon on the prepared sheet pan, season generously with salt and pepper, and place on the upper oven rack. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 110 degrees for rare, 115 degrees for medium-rare, or 125 degrees for medium. This should take 10 to 12 minutes for 5-ounce fillets or 20 to 25 minutes for a 2 1/2-pound fillet. (The color of the salmon will not turn dull, and the texture will be very juicy.)
• Transfer the salmon to a platter or one or more individual plates and season with more salt and pepper, if desired. Sprinkle with chives, if using, and serve.

STEWED SALMON

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the onion in the butter until tender.
• Turn the salmon out of the can, saving the liquid. Pick the salmon free of bones.
• Add the salmon and its liquid, along with the water to the skillet.
• Add the seasoning and Accent (if using), and simmer for 10 minute.
• Serve hot over grits or rice.

SALMON STEW

Steps:

• Steam potatoes til soft, drain water.
• Using a Dutch oven, add milk, salmon, potatoes, butter, salt and pepper.
• Cook on medium heat stirring constantly for approximately 20 minutes.
• Do not allow to boil or milk will curdle.
• Remove from heat and serve with crackers.

SMOKY SALMON-AND-POTATO STEW

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high. Add fennel, celery, and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring often, until vegetables begin to soften, 5 minutes. Add garlic and paprika; cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring, until thickened slightly, 5 minutes. Add clam juice and potatoes; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until potatoes are fork-tender, 30 minutes.
• Season fish with salt; gently fold into stew. Return to a simmer, cover, and remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes. Serve, topped with fennel fronds, a drizzle of oil, and more pepper, if desired.

BASQUE-STYLE SALMON STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan and add the peppers, onion and potatoes. Cook, stirring regularly for 5-8 mins until golden. Then add the paprika, garlic, thyme and tomatoes. Bring to the boil, stir and cover, then turn down heat and simmer for 12 mins. Add a splash of water if the sauce becomes too thick.
• Season the stew and lay the salmon on top, skin side down. Place the lid back on and simmer for another 8 mins until the salmon is cooked through. Scatter with parsley, if you like, and serve.

MUSTARD SALMON WITH SPRING VEGETABLE STEW

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle salmon lightly on both sides with kosher salt. Place skin-side down in a low baking dish. Sprinkle top of fish with fennel and black pepper. Smear mustard evenly over the surface. Leave for at least 10 minutes to absorb seasoning and come to room temperature.
• Bake salmon, uncovered, just until white juices begin to surface at sides and top, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness. Remove and let rest 5 minutes. (Salmon should be perfectly cooked, still moist at center.)
• As salmon cooks, make the vegetable stew: Set a Dutch oven or wide, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Melt butter, then add the fennel. Season lightly with salt. Let fennel cook without browning, stirring frequently until just done, about 5 minutes. Add asparagus, sugar snap peas, shucked peas, cauliflower, scallions and a small pinch of salt. Stir to combine and add ¼ cup water. Raise heat to high and cover pot. Cook for 5 minutes, until vegetables are tender-crisp and just done (residual heat will cook them further). Turn off heat and transfer vegetables to a serving dish.
• In a tiny skillet, heat oil over medium-high. When oil is wavy, add mustard seeds and serrano chile, and stir together. When mustard seeds begin to sputter and pop, pour contents of skillet over the vegetable stew. Top with tarragon and parsley.
• For each serving, place a piece of salmon on a warmed plate. Spoon some vegetables over and around salmon. Pass remaining vegetables at the table.

STEWED SALMON

Steps:

• In a large skillet, sauté the onion in butter until tender. Turn the salmon out of the can, saving the liquid. Pick the salmon free of bones (some folks like the bones, and I am one of them).
