Best Salmon With Citrus Mint Gremolata Recipes

SLOW ROASTED SALMON

Steps:

• HEAT OVEN TO 275F. Line a pan with parchment for easy clean up. If you don't have parchment, use foil sprayed with oil.
• PREPARE SALMON: Lay salmon, skin side down, on pan. Drizzle with olive oil (1-2 tsp) and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread chopped green onion evenly over surface. Sprinkle wine (if using) on pan around salmon.
• ROAST SALMON: for about 30 minutes. Check it after 20-25 minutes. How to tell if the salmon is done: an instant thermometer will read 120F for medium rare; the salmon will still be slightly translucent (look uncooked) on top; and a sharp knife will easily pierce the thickest part without any resistance. It will start to flake.
• MAKE GREMOLATA: While salmon is roasting. combine chopped parsley, garlic, lemon zest, olive oil, salt and pepper in a bowl. Set aside until salmon is cooked.
• FINISH AND SERVE: Slip a spatula between skin and flesh of salmon. Lift salmon off (separating it from skin) to a serving platter. Leave in larger portions or cut into large pieces (which is what I do). Sprinkle with gremolata. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature. Note 1 to make ahead.

SALMON WITH CITRUS-MINT GREMOLATA

Steps:

• 1. Mix mint, orange and lemon peel; set aside.
• 2. In a small bowl, stir together orange juice concentrate and lemon juice.
• 3. Preheat oven broiler. Rinse fish and pat dry.
• 4. In a 12 inch nonstick fry pan with oven proof handle, melt butter over medium-high heat. When butter sizzles, add fish, skin side down. Cook until skin is browned and crisp, about 6 minutes.
• 5. Gently slide spatula under skin of each fillet to release it from pan, but leave fish in pan.
• 6. Brush fish with about a quarter of the juice mixture. Leaving fish in pan, broil about 4 inches below heat until opaque but still moist-looking in thickest part, about 3-4 minutes.
• 7. Transfer fish to plates or a platter. Keep warm.

• Drizzle everything with olive oil and bake until salmon is just turning opaque at the edges and is nearly cooked through, 25 to 35 minutes.
• Toss fresh herbs with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and flaky salt. Serve alongside salmon.

TRIPLE CITRUS GLAZED GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Glaze: Bring all of the ingredients to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, stirring to melt the preserves and to keep the mixture from burning. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the glaze reduce until syrupy, about 15 to 20 minutes. Adjust the seasonings with salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
• Salmon:
• Heat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Brush both sides of the fillets with olive oil just before grilling, then season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill the salmon for about 4 minutes per side, brushing with the glaze during the final few minutes of cooking. Transfer the salmon to serving plates and brush them with the remaining glaze before serving.
