Earth, Sea and Fire Salmon

Submitted by Annacia

"Earth (potatoes, onions, roasted peppers), Sea (fresh salmon) and Fire (your favorite oven) make this a winning recipe. It will reduce well if you don't need to feed 8 people. I have not bothered with the sesame oil but I have given it a spray of butter flavored Pam before baking."

 

• Ready In: 1hr
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 (8 ounce) salmon fillets
• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced
• 2 large red onions, sliced into rings
• 1 jarred roasted red pepper, drained and cut into strips
• 8 ounces portabella mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• salt and pepper
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish generously with olive oil.
2. Arrange potato slices in a layer on the bottom of the baking dish.
3. Season with a little salt and pepper.
4. Place a layer of onions over the potatoes, then a layer of roasted peppers, seasoning each layer with salt and pepper as desired.
5. Place salmon fillets over the vegetables in the dish, and season with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Place whole mushrooms over the fillets, and drizzle them with sesame oil.

This was okay but somehow I think I like potatoes and fish cooked separately, rather than combined as in this dish. I reduced this recipe to serve 3 people but used the amount of roasted red peppers (which was less than required) I had left over from another recipe and also used chili sesame oil for the last step but it seemed to need more of something--maybe some herbs and/or garlic would have added the extra something this recipe needed to kick it up a notch. Thanks for sharing!
