Bacon-Wrapped Black Cod with Spinach and Capers

4 servings

12 strips Smithfield Thick Cut Bacon

Four 6-ounce black cod fillets

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 leek, thinly sliced

2 garlic cloves, minced

5 cups baby spinach

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons capers

 

1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

2. Arrange the bacon slices on the baking sheet in an even layer. Bake until the bacon begins to brown but is still soft, not crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool until it is easy to handle.

3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, on a clean work surface, season the fillets with salt and pepper. Wrap each fillet with 3 pieces of bacon, securing the ends to the fish with toothpicks or small skewers.

4. Add the fillets to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the bacon is noticeably brown and crisp, 9 to 12 minutes. Flip the fish once or twice while cooking.

5. Transfer the fish to a clean plate and tent with aluminum foil.

6. Add the butter to the pan and melt over medium heat. Add the leek and garlic; sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

7. Add the spinach, lemon zest and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Cook until the spinach is wilted, about 4 minutes.

8. Serve the bacon-wrapped cod over the spinach, garnished with capers.

Baked Sesame-Ginger Salmon in Parchment

4 servings

1 teaspoon sesame oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger

1 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons honey

Pinch of red-pepper flakes

2 large zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced

1 red onion, halved and thinly sliced

1 lime, quartered

Four 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets

4 teaspoons sesame seeds

 

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare four pieces of parchment (about 15 by 17 inches). Fold each piece in half to make a crease, then unfold and set aside.

2. In a small bowl, whisk the sesame oil with the soy sauce, ginger, garlic powder, honey and red-pepper flakes to combine.

3. Build the parchment packets one at a time. One one side of a piece of parchment, place a quarter of the zucchini in an even layer and top with a quarter of the red onion. Squeeze one of the lime segments generously over the vegetables.

4. Place a salmon fillet on top of the vegetables. Brush the salmon generously with the soy sauce mixture and top with 1 teaspoon sesame seeds.

5. Fold the empty side of the parchment over the salmon and then fold the two edges inward toward the salmon, making several creases to fully seal the package.

6. Repeat with the remaining parchment and ingredients. Transfer the prepared packets to a baking sheet and bake until the salmon is fully cooked, 16 to 18 minutes.

7. To serve, remove the fish and veggies from the packets and transfer to plates, or cut slits in the top of the parchment and serve in the paper. Serve immediately.

One Sheet Pan Parmesan Crusted Salmon with Roasted Broccoli

SERVES 4

Ingredients

Broccoli

  • 1 1/4 lbs broccoli crowns , stems cut and reserved for another use, florets chopped into bite size pieces
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic , minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Salmon

  • 4 (6 oz) skinless salmon fillets
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice (zest lemon first)
  • 1 clove garlic , minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup slightly packed finely grated parmesan
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 1/2 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray foil with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Place broccoli in a mound in center of baking sheet. Pour olive oil over broccoli along with garlic and toss to evenly coat.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste and spread near edges of baking sheet, leaving enough space in center to fit salmon fillets.

  4. (note that if you like your broccoli more browned and roasted then let it roast for 5 minutes first then remove and spread to edges, this just gives it a head start. If you like it crisp tender and slightly roasted then no pre-roasting needed).
  5. Season bottom of salmon with salt and pepper and place salmon in center of baking sheet, leaving about 3/4-inch between fillets so they can evenly cook.
  6. In a mixing bowl whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice and garlic and brush about 1/2 Tbsp over each fillet. Season top with salt and pepper.
  7. In a mixing bowl whisk together parmesan, bread crumbs, parsley, lemon zest and thyme, then drizzle 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil into bowl and stir with a fork until evenly moistened. Spread parmesan mixture evenly over tops of salmon fillets.
  8. Bake in preheated oven until salmon fillets have cooked through, about 12 – 15 minutes (for a more golden crust you can broil during the last 1 – 2 minutes of baking if needed).
