D'Andra's Easy Salmon Recipe
1 10-12 ounce wild-caught salmon filet (I am using sockeye tonight)
Olive Oil Spray
3TBLSP of Butter
3TBLSP of Olive Oil
2 finely chopped large Shallots
2 finely chopped Serrano Chiles
1/2 package of thin Chives (normally they are about 0.75 ounces in a package in the produce section)
1-2 TBLSP of Dill
2 Campari tomatoes chopped or small to medium size tomatoes like this type
2 TBLSP of Cilantro, plus 4 TBSLP or more to top the dish at the end
1 TBLSP of Soy Sauce (I used Yamaroku Shoyu Pure Artisan Dark Sweet Japanese Premium Gourmet Barrel Aged 4 Year Soy Sauce "Tsuru Bisiho", 18oz)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Farenheit
For the salmon seasoning:
Paul Prudhomme's Magic Salmon Seasoning
Lawry's Seasoned Pepper
Celtic Sea Salt (finely ground in mortar and pestle or already fine ground in package)
Season Salmon generously with the above 3 seasoning ingredients. Spray olive oil to coat cast iron skillet or whichever pan you would like to use. In another sautee pan or pot, add butter, 2 TBLSP of olive oil, shallots, and serrano chiles and cook on medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until shallots are translucent. Add chives, dill, Campari tomatoes and sautee for another minute or so then add cilantro and soy sauce. Total cooking time should be about 4 minutes for these items.
Heat skillet on medium-high heat with an additional 1 TBLSP of olive oil. When the pan is hot, add salmon skin side down to start to get crispy. In about 2-3 minutes flip it and cook another 1 minute before adding the above-sauteed ingredients. Put in the oven in cast iron skillet and cook for 7-8 minutes until medium-rare. Remove from oven and let sit to continue resting. Add additional cilantro for garnish and serve. I like to serve alongside a rice or potato dish and a green salad. Enjoy!
