Honey-Soy-Glazed Salmon with Veggies

 


Salmon drizzled with honey, soy sauce, dijon mustard, and crushed red pepper. Pop in the oven and you have an amazing meal.


4 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon seasoned rice wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 pound fresh medium asparagus
8 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 (5- to 6-oz.) fresh salmon fillets
Garnish: toasted sesame seeds


Preheat broiler with oven rack 6 inches from heat. Whisk together honey and next 4 ingredients in a small bowl.

Snap off and discard tough ends of asparagus. Place asparagus, green beans, and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl, and toss to coat.

Place salmon in center of a heavy-duty aluminum foil-lined sheet pan. Brush salmon with about 2 Tbsp. honey mixture. Spread asparagus mixture around salmon.

Broil 4 minutes; remove from oven, and brush salmon with about 2 Tbsp. honey mixture. Return to oven, and broil 4 minutes more. Remove from oven, and brush salmon with remaining honey mixture. Return to oven, and broil 2 minutes more. Serve immediately.

Salmon-Sausage Coddle


This dish is amazing and packed full of goodness. I have used Italian sausage or brats, depending on what I have on hand. Just remove the casing.


1 leek (white part only), chopped
1 bunch fresh kale, chopped
1 (12-oz) bag carrot sticks, chopped
2 tablespoons Italian parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
1 (24-oz) bag baby gold (or red) potatoes, sliced
1 lb salmon fillets, skin removed
1 lb chicken sausage with kale (or mild Italian chicken sausage), casing removed
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 cups no-salt-added chicken stock (or broth)
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon garlic-herb butter


Cut leek (white part only) into quarters, then rinse and chop into small pieces.
Chop kale (4 cups), carrots, parsley, and thyme. Halve potatoes.


Cut salmon into 1-inch cubes. Remove sausage from casing (wash hands). Preheat large stockpot on medium 2–3 minutes. Add oil and sausage; brown 4–5 minutes, stirring to crumble meat, and until no pink remains.
Stir in carrots, leeks, and thyme; cook 2–3 minutes or until leeks have softened. Stir in stock, water, potatoes, kale, salt, and pepper; bring to a simmer, then cover and continue to simmer 25–30 minutes or until potatoes are very tender.
Gently stir in salmon, parsley, and vinegar. Bring mixture to a simmer, then cover and remove from heat. Let coddle stand 5–6 minutes until salmon is cooked through and 145°F. Stir butter in gently and serve.

Garlic Lovers Salmon in Foil


Garlic Lovers Salmon is easy to make on the grill or in the oven, it’s cooked with a heavenly lemon butter garlic sauce.

2 pound side of salmon, boneless and skinless
4 tablespoons butter
8 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice, plus extra lemon wedges for serving
salt and pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley*
1/4 cup thinly-sliced green onions
DIRECTIONS:

Heat oven to 375°F. Or heat a grill to medium heat.

Line a large baking dish with a large piece of aluminum foil.

In a small saucepan, heat butter over medium-high heat until melted. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. (You want the garlic to be partly- but not fully-cooked.) Remove from heat and stir in the white wine and lemon juice.

Using a pastry brush, brush a tablespoons of the butter mixture on the foil until it is evenly covered. Lay the salmon out on the foil. Then pour the remainder of the butter-garlic mixture on top of the salmon and brush it around until it evenly covers the salmon. Season the salmon evenly with a few generous pinches of salt and pepper.

Fold the sides of the aluminum foil up and over the top of the salmon until it is completely enclosed. (If your sheet of foil is not large enough, just place a second sheet of foil on top and fold the edges so that it forms a sealed packet.

To Cook In The Oven: Bake for 14-15 minutes, or until the salmon is almost completely cooked through. (Cooking times will vary on the thickness of your salmon, so I recommend checking it a few minutes early if you have a thinner cut of salmon.) Remove the salmon from the oven and carefully open and pull back the aluminum foil so that the top of the fish is completely exposed. (Be careful, lots of hot steam will be released!) Change the oven setting to broil, then return the fish to the oven and broil for 3-4 minutes, or until the top of the salmon and the garlic are slightly golden and the fish is cooked through. (Keep a close eye on the salmon while broiling, though, to be sure that the garlic does not burn.)

To Cook On The Grill: Carefully transfer the packet of salmon to the grill, and grill for 12-14 minutes, or until the salmon is almost completely cooked through. (Cooking times will vary on the thickness of your salmon, so I recommend checking it a few minutes early if you have a thinner cut of salmon.) Carefully open and pull back the aluminum foil so that the top of the fish is completely exposed. (Be careful, lots of hot steam will be released!) Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes, or until the top of the salmon and the garlic are slightly golden and the fish is cooked through.

Remove salmon from the oven or grill. Sprinkle the top of the salmon evenly with parsley and green onions, and serve immediately.


*Feel free to also sub in whatever other fresh herbs you have on hand, or use a mix! Use parsley as a base, and then mixing in some chopped fresh rosemary and thyme. OR, stirring in 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning into the butter mixture, and brushing that all over the salmon.

Baked Salmon with Honey Mustard Sauce


Salmon is one of my favorite fish, but drizzling it with butter, lemon & capers gets a little old some times. I found this topping, sweet and tangy. A nice change to the old stand by.



Four 6- to 7-ounce salmon fillets, skin-on
1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives, plus additional for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a nonstick silicone liner, and lay the salmon, skin side down, on top. Set aside.

Combine the mayonnaise, mustard, honey and chives in a medium bowl and stir to thoroughly combine. Reserve half of the sauce. Spoon the remaining sauce over the fish, spreading it evenly all over the top and sides of each fillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Roast just until the fish is opaque in the center, 7 minutes. Increase the oven to broil. Broil the fish for 6 to 7 minutes, but keep your eye on it to avoid overcooking. Garnish with chives and serve with the reserved sauce.
