Recipes Salmon And Bacon

And what better place to get it than from our very own Pike Place Market in Seattle?  (If you haven’t already done so, check out my Virtual Tour of Pike Place Market for some history and pics of this historic world-famous market!)

We got our salmon from Pure Food Fish Market located inside of Pike Place Market.  They’ve been stocking the freshest, highest quality seafood for four generations and specialize in fresh seafood of the Pacific Northwest.

We’re fortunate to live here in western Washington where we can enjoy such exquisitely fresh seafood.  But for most of the land-locked U.S., fresh seafood isn’t accessible.  With the ever-growing demand for the Northwest’s premium seafood, Pure Food Fish Market created the ability for seafood lovers across the United States to enjoy the freshest products possible, as if they were visiting the Seattle marketplace.  Pure Food Fish Market now hand-cuts, packages and ships their seafood via overnight FedEx delivery to any location across the United States.  How about that?

Bacon Wrapped Salmon Filets With Ranch Sour Cream And Radishes

Even though we live close enough to buy it in person,  I had some delivered to us to try out the service:  As promised, it was there the next morning and the ice packs were still frozen.  It was perfect and like fresh from the ocean!

I wish you could smell the aroma through your screen.  Our kids gave my husband some serious competition for this smoked salmon – there wasn’t much left by the time they were done with it!

So we got an order of this fresh king salmon from Pike Place Market and I wanted to use it immediately while it was still fresh instead of freezing it.

Crispy Salmon, Bacon And Avocado Sandwich

Pecan-crusted was sounding really good but I wanted to bump it up a notch.  We had recently had a dinner at a restaurant where the dessert featured a glaze made from bacon fat and maple syrup.  (Yes, dessert.  And it was fabulous).  I thought that was just what this salmon needed – a bacon fat maple glaze to drizzle over the pecan-bread crumb coating.

Bacon Glazed Salmon Recipe From H E B

Who doesn’t love bacon-wrapped salmon? Certainly, you don’t have to be doing Whole30 to love it—it’s simply a tasty meal that combines two of the best foods!

I’ve come to enjoy salmon more than ever these days; Miguel and I try to eat it about once a week. I like to buy wild-caught packaged salmon because it tends to be more affordable than the salmon behind the counter.

Since we’re constantly eat it, I've been trying to come up with new ways to prepare it. Two of my favorite ways are baked, like in this garlic salmonand pan-fried, like in this quinoa-crusted salmon.

Bacon Wrapped Salmon Bites With Creamy Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

This bacon-wrapped salmon recipe combines both of those methods to create a salmon fillet that's crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside (plus, the bacon only adds to the amazing texture!).

Second: Place salmon directly into your oven-safe skillet (I used my cast iron), then sear the salmon for 2 minutes per side. You don't want the cook the salmon all the way through; you just want it to be crispy on the outside.

Third: Place the whole skillet in the oven and bake the salmon for 10-15 minutes. The cook time varies depending on the thickness of your salmon.

Last: Make the avocado dressing by placing all of the ingredients into a blender or food processor and blending until smooth (I used my NutriBullet).

Alternatively, you could make the salmon without the dressing and instead serve it with air fryer carrots, skillet roasted potatoes or with a side of almond pesto.

She's been blogging since 2014 and loves to create food for many different diets, including vegan, gluten free and/or Whole30 recipes.This week is full of meetings. Meetings at weird hours, meetings far away, meetings close to home. I needed an easy weeknight meal they hubs and I could enjoy without much prep, cleanup or cooking time. Simple Roasted Salmon with Bacon Wrapped Asparagus is a go-to meal for us at least once a week. It’s delicious, full of healthy fats, protein and flavor. This meal is perfect for low carb and ketogenic foodies, and paleo/Whole30-compliant with the right bacon.

I LOVE salmon. I love it so much I could eat it every week. Oh wait, we do! It’s high in healthy omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D. My go-to variety is king or sockeye. King salmon is fatty and has a great texture. Sockeye has significantly less fat and is bright burnt orange in color. It’s very flavorful. Any variety of salmon will work for this!

Something about asparagus cooked in a snug coat of bacon makes the asparagus moist, tender and downright amazing. It’s my husband’s favorite way to eat asparagus. It’s also extremely easy to prepare and hard to mess up. Asparagus is low in carbohydrates, full of vitamins and minerals, and has folic acid. I love Oscar Mayer’s hardwood smoked bacon for this recipe. The thin pieces of bacon are 45 calories a slice, and crisp up nicely around the asparagus bundles.

My Fabulous Salmon Bacon Recipe!

Note – For a pound of  un-trimmed asparagus, I typically get 4 three-ounce bundles of trimmed asparagus to split between my husband and me. 

Trim the woody ends off the asparagus. Divide the stems into 4 even bundles, and wrap each bundle in one piece of bacon. Use two pieces of bacon if desired. Bake the bacon wrapped asparagus bundles for about 15 minutes (at 350 degrees) before popping in the salmon. The thinner the salmon, the less time it will take. A thick piece of king salmon can take 18 to 20 minutes to cook. The asparagus takes 30 to 40 minutes in total in our oven. 

Once everything is cooked, cut the simple roasted salmon into equal serving portions, scraping the skin off the salmon if desired. Garnish with lemon wedges, and serve the asparagus alongside. Serve immediately and enjoy!
