Easy Salmon Dill Pasta Recipe





Ingredients


* 4 fresh salmon filets or steaks (you can also substitute this with the pre-cooked packaged salmon if you need a shortcut)


* about 1/4 cup fresh dill


* 1 cup fresh basil, chopped


* 3 cups fresh spinach, chopped


* 2 tablespoons fresh garlic


* 1 tomato, coarsely chopped


* 4 servings of whole grain pasta; i think linguine or spaghetti works best


* the juice of 1 lemon


* salt and pepper to taste


* 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil





Directions


1. Wash and prepare salmon for cooking. (If you are using precooked salmon you can simply empty it from the freshness pouch into a bowl and mix with the chopped dill, salt, pepper, and half the lemon juice then heat it up together in the microwave or in a separate skillet).


2. Flavor with salt, pepper, chopped dill on both sides and a little lemon juice.


3. Grill or bake until thoroughly cooked


4. Cut up the Salmon in chunks


5. Boil water with a little salt then add pasta and cook until it is al dente.


6. Strain the pasta, reserving some of the pasta water, about 1/2 a cup to a cup


7. In a large skillet or walk, add tomato, garlic, olive oil, and some salt and pepper.


8. Stir for about one minute then add the basil and spinach. Stir another minute then add the pasta, stir to mix evenly.


9. Add some of the pasta water, about 1 tablespoon at a time, just to add some juiciness. You don't have to use all the water; the liquidity will vary based on your taste somewhat.


10. Add the salmon and stir just to mix everything evenly. Serve immediately.Salmon recipes?

I like to serve a simple wild rice dressing with salmon.





Cedar Plank-Grilled Salmon with Garlic, Lemon and Dill








';Cooking a lemon and dill seasoned whole salmon fillet on a smoldering cedar plank adds a touch of smoke to a beautiful fish!';


INGREDIENTS:


1 (3 pound) whole filet of


salmon, skin on, scored (up to


but not through the skin) into


serving pieces


6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive


oil


4 large garlic cloves, minced 1/4 cup minced fresh dill


2 teaspoons salt


1 teaspoon ground black


pepper


1 teaspoon lemon zest, plus


lemon wedges for serving





DIRECTIONS:


1. Soak an untreated cedar plank (or planks) large enough to hold a side of salmon (5 to 7 inches wide and 16 to 20 inches long) in water, weighting it with something heavy, like a brick, so it stays submerged 30 minutes to 24 hours.


2. When ready to grill, either build a charcoal fire in half the grill or turn grill burners on high for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix oil, garlic, dill, salt, pepper and lemon zest; rub over salmon and into scored areas to coat.


3. Place soaked cedar on hot grill grate, close lid, and watch until wood starts to smoke, about 5 minutes. Transfer salmon to hot plank, move salmon off direct charcoal heat or turn burners to low, and cook covered until salmon is just opaque throughout (130 on a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section) 20 to 25 minutes or longer, depending on thickness and grill temperature. Let sit 5 minutes; serve with lemon wedges.
BLACKENED SALMON FILLETS





2 Tbs. ground paprika


1 Tbs. ground cayenne pepper


1 Tbs. onion powder


2 tsp. salt


1/2 tsp. ground white pepper


1/2 tsp. ground black pepper


1/4 tsp. dried thyme


1/4 tsp. dried basil


1/4 tsp. dried oregano


4 salmon fillets, skin and bones removed


1/2 C. unsalted butter, melted





In a small bowl, mix paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, salt, white pepper, black pepper, thyme, basil and oregano. Brush salmon fillets on both sides with 1/4 C. butter, and sprinkle evenly with the cayenne pepper mixture. Drizzle one side of each fillet with 1/2 the remaining butter. In a large, heavy skillet over high heat, cook salmon, butter side down, until blackened, 2-5 minutes. Turn fillets, drizzle with remaining butter, and continue cooking until fish is blackened and easily flaked with a fork. Makes 4 servings.





SALMON-IN-A-SNAP





Nonstick cooking spray


4 1-inch-thick salmon fillets (about 1 lb.)


1/2 tsp. lemon-pepper seasoning or 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper


1-2 tsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce


1 medium orange, halved and very thinly sliced


2 c. small broccoli florets


1 c. reduced-sodium chicken broth


3/4 c. water


1 tsp. bottled minced roasted garlic or minced garlic


1 c. couscous or hot cooked rice





Lightly coat a shallow baking pan with cooking spray; set aside. Season salmon fillets with lemon-pepper seasoning. Arrange fillets in prepared pan. Drizzle with the soy sauce. Top with orange slices. Bake, covered, in a 450 F. oven for 8 to12 minutes or until fish just flakes easily when tested with a fork. Meanwhile, in a 2- qt. saucepan bring broccoli, chicken broth, water, and garlic just to boiling. Cook, covered, about 3 minutes or until broccoli is barely crisp-tender. Stir in couscous. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Serve fish over hot cooked couscous and broccoli. Makes 4 servings.





ORANGE ROASTED SALMON





2 oranges, sliced into rounds


1 onion, thinly sliced


1 1/2 Tbs. olive oil


5 6 oz. salmon fillets


1 Tbs. lemon pepper


1-1/2 tsp. garlic powder


1 Tbs. dried parsley


1/2 C. orange juice


1-1/2 Tbs. lemon juice


1 Tbs. honey





Preheat the oven to 400 F. In a small bowl or cup, stir together the lemon pepper, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Place the slices from one of the oranges in a single layer in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place a layer of onion slices over the orange. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil, and sprinkle with half of the herb mixture. Place the dish in the pre-heated oven, and roast for about 25 minutes, or until the onions are browned and tender. Remove the dish from the oven, and increase the temperature to 450 F. Push the onion and orange slices to the outer edge of the baking dish, and place the salmon fillets in the center. Season with the remaining half of the herb mixture. Whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice and honey in a small bowl. Pour evenly over the salmon. Bake for 12-15 minutes in the pre-heated oven, or until the salmon is opaque in the center. Remove fillets to a serving dish, and discard the roasted orange. Garnish fillets with roasted onions and fresh orange slices. Makes 5 servings.
Rub with a little olive oil, then grill it, Be sure you don't cook it too much. While it's grilling, make an aioli sauce by mixing mayo, garlic, lemon juice and a few capers. Put the sauce on a plate, then top with the salmon. If you don't like capers or don't have any, you can leave them out. Top your salmon with some slices of lemon.
My favorite recipe for salmon is this:


Marinade in 1/4 c soy sauce, 2 T brown sugar, 1/4 t ground ginger, 1/4 t crushed red pepper flakes, 1/8 t sesame oil. Grill 1 1/2 lbs salmon 5 minutes per side basting as you go.


Enjoy!
no Salmon here for me,I prefer a big ole fried Florida bluegill bream over Salmon, ! Salmon is too strong tasting and overrated !
...If your using canned drain first.


About 1 cup Salmon and one sleeve of saltines crushed...add 1/4 cup onion.Add one egg ,S%26amp;P to taste and combine.


form into patties and fry in oil till brown on each side.
Grill it skin side down with lemon, rosemary and / or dill.





Oh, and salt and pepper.
that's the beauty of salmon - it tastes incredible without adding much to it. i agree with the guy above, though i'd use some butter and dill. grill it *just* until it starts to become flaky - try pulling lightly at the flesh in the middle of the fillet with a fork; if it pulls away from the rest of the flesh in a straight strip or chunk, then it's done. you can peel the skin off or leave it on, your call. serve it with some steamed veggies or rice and you've got a great meal!
