  • Salmon and Asparagus Gremolata

    Salmon and Asparagus Gremolata

    How to Make Salmon and Asparagus Gremolata

    Parchment paper packets are a simple and elegant way to steam fish along with vegetables and seasonings. If you don’t have parchment paper, you could use aluminum foil instead. Make extra gremolata and use it to add zest to steamed vegetables or baked chicken another night.


    15 min prep time


    10 min cook time


    2servings


    1 packet

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
    2. Cut off a 15 x 10-inch sheet of cooking parchment and fold in half to for a 7.5 x 10-inch rectangle. Starting at the bottom of the fold, cut into a half-heart shape. Open and spray with cooking spray. Repeat with a second sheet. Place one filet of salmon skin side down centered on half of each parchment heart. Top each filet with half of the shallots, pepper, and asparagus.
    3. Fold the other heart halves over the fish and asparagus. Seal each packet by forming a small fold at the top of the heart and continuing to fold the edge until reaching the bottom. Twist the point to shut tightly. Place the sealed packets on a baking sheet, and bake for 10 minutes.
    4. Meanwhile, make the gremolata: finely chop the parsley and garlic together. Add the lemon zest, and continue chopping until well blended.
    5. Remove the parchment packets from the oven. Let stand for 3 minutes. Being careful to prevent steam burns, cut an X in the center of each packet. Test to be sure the salmon flakes easily when tested with a fork. If necessary, return the packets to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes to finish cooking.
    6. Transfer packets to a plate and open the rest of the way. Sprinkle each with 2 teaspoons of gremolata.

  • Grilled Salmon with Mango and Tomato Salsa

    Grilled Salmon with Mango and Tomato Salsa

    How to Make Grilled Salmon with Mango and Tomato Salsa

    Mango and other fruit can add a slight sweetness to any salsa. It works particularly well with this slightly spicy salmon dish. Grilling salmon fillets with the skin on makes them easier to flip and helps prevent sticking. Oiling your grill grates can also prevent sticking: dip a balled up paper towel in oil and rubbing lightly over clean grill grates.

    You could also cook the salmon in the oven: Preheat oven to 425 degrees and bake the salmon in a shallow baking pan for about 10 minutes or until cooked through.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the grill to medium high heat.
    2. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, cinnamon, and salt. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
    3. Lightly oil the grill grates with the canola oil. Place the salmon on the grill, skin side down. Cook uncovered for 7 to 8 minutes, turning halfway through. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
    4. While salmon is cooking, combine mango, tomatoes, cilantro, and half of the lemon juice in a medium bowl.
    5. Remove salmon from grill and spritz with remaining lemon juice. Serve each fillet with 1/2 cup salsa.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Using a vegetable peeler, slice zucchini and carrots into thin “ribbons” and set aside. NOTE: If you have a spiralizer, you can use that to cut the zucchini into carrots.
    2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add scallops to pan and sear for 3-5 minutes; then flip and sear for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through and slightly browned on both sides. Remove from pan and set aside and cover to keep warm.
    3. Lower heat to medium and add remaining 1 tsp olive oil to the pan. Add garlic and shallot and saute for 2 minutes.
    4. Pour white wine in pan and scrape browned bits from the bottom of the pan to deglaze it. Let wine simmer for 3 minutes until reduced by half, then add margarine and pepper. Add vegetable ribbons to wine sauce to coat. Cover pan and allow vegetables to cook for 5 minutes.
    5. To serve, place 1 cup of vegetables in a bowl with about 3 oz scallops; then top with 1 tbsp Parmesan cheese.

    How to Make Succulent Salmon With Caramelized Onions

    Aviva Goldfarb says: My friend and neighbor Christine Dallaire shared this awesome recipe. You can serve it for an elegant dinner party or a special family dinner. Serve with cooked farro and Green Beans With Lemon and Garlic. Flavor Boosters: Double the dill and add 1/4 tsp salt-free lemon-pepper seasoning to the spice blend. Serve the salmon with fresh lemon wedges.


    15 min prep time


    20 min cook time


    4servings


    3 oz salmon, 2 Tbsp onions

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy ovenproof skillet over medium heat, and add the onions. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden.
    2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the ginger, dill, salt, and pepper; set aside. Top the onions with the lemon slices and then the salmon, and top the salmon evenly with the spices. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook the salmon for about 20 minutes, until it is cooked through. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Green Beans With Lemon and Garlic make a great side dish for the salmon.
    3. Slow Cooker Directions: Cut the salmon fillet into pieces that will fit into the slow cooker. Combine the onions in the bottom of the slow cooker. Place each piece of salmon onto a separate piece of aluminum foil large enough to fold into a packet. Sprinkle the spices evenly over the salmon pieces and top with lemon slices. Fold the foil into a packet, and place the packets into the slow cooker on top of the onions, stacking as needed. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours (for thinner fillets check for doneness sooner). Remove the salmon from the packets, then top with the onions before serving.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Coat a grill rack from an outdoor gas grill with cooking spray and set it 6 inches from the heat source. Preheat the grill to medium high. If you think your shrimp will fall through the grilling rack, prepare a fish basket to grill the shrimp. Coat the inside of the basket with cooking spray.
    2. Drizzle the shrimp with the olive oil. Combine the cumin, chili powder, coriander, salt, and black pepper and rub onto the shrimp.
    3. Add the shrimp directly to the grill rack or place in a single layer in the fish basket. Grill the shrimp for about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Meanwhile, add the lemon halves, cut side down, to the grill, and grill for 3 to 4 minutes, just until the lemon is slightly charred.
    4. Add the grilled shrimp to a platter. Garnish with the grilled lemon halves and minced parsley.
