Crispy Skin Salmon image

Provided by Claire Robinson

Time 37m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (6-ounce) pieces center-cut salmon fillet with skin, about1-inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened and divided
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon whole tarragon leaves

Steps:

Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper. Place skin side up and rub 1 1/2 tablespoons softened butter all over the skin of the salmon. Transfer the salmon, buttered side up, to a sheet pan. Chill in the fridge to firm the butter, about 20 minutes.
Preheat the broiler to high.
Place the salmon about 5 inches from the heat source and cook until the skin is crispy and the fish is cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes.
In a small saucepan over moderate heat, whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, mustard and tarragon leaves. Divide the sauce between 2 plates and place 1 piece of salmon on top of each pool of sauce.
What Makes This Recipe Really Sing: This is the coolest way to get crispy skin on fish ever and the crispy skin is like a naturally salted and big flavored chip, so it's the best part!

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 Walmart® Fresh Antibiotic-Free Salmon portions
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 lemon, sliced into ¼-½-inch rounds
2 tablespoons fresh basil, sliced into ribbons
1 shallot, minced
1 large lemon, zested
1 large lemon
1 ½ teaspoons honey
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Heat a grill to medium-high heat.
Coat the Walmart® Fresh Antibiotic-Free Salmon portions with the olive oil and sprinkle the salt evenly on both sides. Set aside.
Make the lemon-sesame sauce: In a small bowl, combine the shallot, lemon zest and juice, honey, sesame oil, olive oil, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper and whisk until well combined.
Place the lemon slices on the grill and cook for 60-90 seconds on each side, until charred. Remove from the grill and set aside.
Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, on the grill. Cook with the lid closed for 5-6 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and has lightly charred grill marks on the flesh side.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on a serving platter and spoon half the sauce over each fillet. Garnish with the charred lemon slices and basil.
Enjoy!
