Best Pan Grilled Salmon Recipes

PAN-GRILLED SALMON WITH LIME AND DILL

Steps:

• Rinse salmon and pat dry. Remove any bones that are sticking out.
• Rinse limes.
• Put 3/4 cup mayonnaise in medium bowl.
• Cut limes in half. Ream juice of limes into bowl.
• Mix with whisk or fork until smooth, taking care to remove any seeds that get in the bowl. If necessary, add more mayonnaise until mixture is consistency of a smooth, fairly thin cream sauce WITH NO LUMPS.
• When mixture is smooth, add dill to taste. Crumple between fingers before adding to release extra flavor. Add salt to taste. Mix until dill and salt are evenly distributed.
• Add salmon to mayonnaise-lime mixture.
• Prepare a nonstick frying pan: spray with non-stick cooking spray and place on stove over medium-high heat.
• When pan is hot, carefully place salmon in pan. (If you are doing more than two steaks, you may need to do this in shifts, two at a time.) With a pastry brush, brush additional mayonnaise-lime mixture over the top surface and sides of the salmon periodically.
• When salmon is opaque about halfway through and lightly browned (about 2 to 4 minutes), brush salmon once more and flip.
• Brush sides a few more times, then allow to cook through (about 2 to 3 more minutes.) Salmon is done when opaque and firm all the way through the thickest part.
• Remove salmon from pan and serve while very hot!

DO AHEAD Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm before using.
• Brush grill rack with oil. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush salmon on both sides with oil; sprinkle with coarse salt, thyme, allspice, and black pepper.
• Grill salmon until just opaque in center, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to plates. Stir 2 tablespoons sliced mint into warm blueberry sauce. Spoon sauce over salmon and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon mint. Serve immediately.

PAN-GRILLED SALMON ON TOAST WITH SCALLION MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Heat grill pan over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Meanwhile, toss scallions with 2 teaspoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Pat salmon dry and coat with remaining 2 teaspoons oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Cook scallions in grill pan, turning occasionally, until soft and slightly charred, about 6 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board to cool.
• Add salmon to grill pan and cook, turning over once, until just cooked through, about 12 minutes total. Transfer with a metal spatula to a plate and cool slightly, then gently flake.
• While salmon is grilling, finely chop scallions and stir into mayonnaise with celery, lemon juice, and mint. Season with salt and pepper.
• Toast bread and spread lightly with some of scallion mayonnaise. Divide salmon among toasts and top with dollops of scallion mayonnaise and pieces of frisée.
