Best Salmon With Pea Sauce And Herb Salad Recipes

SLOW-ROASTED CITRUS SALMON WITH HERB SALAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300 degrees. Season salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Place in a large baking dish with sliced lemons, orange and thyme (or rosemary, oregano or marjoram), if using.
• 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.

PAN SEARED SALMON WITH CREAMY PEAS

Steps:

• Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. If you're using frozen salmon, allow to thaw in the fridge overnight.
• Drizzle with a few teaspoons of olive oil and season with salt.
• Place a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and allow to preheat for a minute or two.
• Place the salmon into the pan, skin-side down, and allow to sear for 2-3 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden.
• Carefully flip over and allow to sear for another 2-3 minutes or until cooked to your preference.
• The salmon is cooked when the flesh easily flakes apart. Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside.
• In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil then add the finely chopped shallot and garlic.
• Sauté for a minute or two then add the peas and dill. Pour in the cream and add the sour cream.
• Season with salt and pepper then bring to a simmer.
• Cook for 5 minutes or until the peas are cooked. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and stir into the sauce.
• Place the salmon back into the pan and allow to reheat.
• Serve the salmon and peas with lemon wedges.

WILD SALMON WITH ENGLISH PEAS AND MUSTARD BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• Blanch fresh peas in a medium pot of salted boiling water until bright green and just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to an ice-water bath and let cool completely. Drain. (If using frozen peas, skip this step.)
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rub salmon on both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side down. Roast until medium-rare, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine shallot, wine, and vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons.
• Reduce heat to low. Whisk in mustard to combine, then whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, adding each piece as soon as previous one melts. Season with salt and pepper. (If not serving right away, keep beurre blanc warm over a pan of simmering water; do not let sauce simmer.)
• Arrange salmon on a platter and top with peas. Sprinkle with chives, top with pea shoots, and serve, with warm beurre blanc alongside.

BASIL-CRUSTED SALMON WITH SNAP PEA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Bring a medium pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Fill a medium bowl with ice water and set aside.
• Add the basil leaves, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon shichimi togarashi, lemon zest, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to a food processor and process until finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Transfer to a small bowl and fold in the panko.
• Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with 2 tablespoons honey. Press the breadcrumb mixture all over the tops of each fillet (about 1 tablespoon per fillet). Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the salmon is firm and flakes easily when pressed, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the pine nuts in a single layer in a small nonstick skillet and cook, shaking frequently, until they're golden brown and smell nutty, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
• Add the sugar snap peas to the boiling water and cook until very bright green and crisp tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to immediately transfer the peas to the ice water to stop the cooking. Drain the snap peas, then cut them into thirds on a deep bias.
• Put the lemon juice, mustard, vinegar, fish sauce, shallots, 1/4 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper, the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey and the remaining pinch of shichimi togarashi in a large bowl. Use an immersion blender to mix and drizzle in the vegetable oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil until all the ingredients are emulsified.
• Fold in the snap peas until coated. Fold in the parsley leaves, toasted pine nuts and basil stems and serve alongside the salmon.

SALMON PATTIES WITH CREAMED PEAS

Steps:

• PATTIES: Drain liquid from salmon and reserve for sauce.
• Remove bones and skin, and flake salmon.
• Mix all patty ingredients together.
• Form into 4 patties.
• Dip both sides in flour.
• In frying pan, heat oil and fry patties over medium heat until lightly browned on both sides- about 10 minutes.
• SAUCE: While patties are cooking, place peas in colander and rinse with hot water to defrost.
• Drain In saucepan or skillet, melt butter; with whisk, stir in flour.
• Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup reserved salmon liquid and milk, whisking to form a creamy sauce.
• Add dill, salt and pepper, stirring constantly over medium heat until mixture gently boils and thickens.
• Stir in the pea and cook 30 seconds to warm.
• Do not cook peas.
• Place patties on individual plates and spoon the sauce over.
• ***Note: If you prefer, you can place the salmon mixture in 4 greased muffin cups and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
• If using this method, omit the first two recipe ingredients (oil and flour).
• VARIATION: You can substitute lightly steamed fresh asparagus for the peas.
• If using asparagus, do not put in sauce.
• Place asparagus over salmon patties and spoon sauce over both.

SALMON WITH PEAS, PEA TENDRILS, AND DILL-CUCUMBER SAUCE

Steps:

• Brush small rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil. Place salmon on prepared baking sheet. Mix orange juice and lemon juice in small bowl; pour over salmon. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon oil over salmon; sprinkle with coarse kosher salt and pepper. Let stand 15 minutes.
• Preheat broiler. Broil salmon, without turning fish over, until just opaque in center, watching closely and turning baking sheet once for even broiling, about 12 minutes. Using 2 wide spatulas, transfer salmon to platter. Surround with Peas and Pea Tendrils with Lemon Dressing. Serve with Dill-Cucumber Sauce.
