Fresh Salmon Medallions

You failed to give us recipe for the cucumber dill salad base, so I used lightly roasted asparagus instead. It was swell.

Followed directions and, WOW! Mighty good!

Delicious and easy to make

This is an add on to my post.... although not difficult it helps to watch the video and listen to Chef John. A real wow for company! do everything but the sauce before arrival and you can be part of the party. Happened to see a note about the cucumber salad , add the vinegar first then the oil. Picked that up from recipe I think on thu

Amazing.... My wife usually is the one who always makes the salmon dish, but I made this tonight Amd she said that is the dish for here.

I loved it, as into each batch of salmon a little tail must happen, and it was terrific! I prefer my salmon in Steak format, simply because I am SO finicky about my salmon being *medium-rare* throughout. I measure height & weight of piece precisely, and calculate exactly how long to bake, turn, re-baste, bake, broil last 45 seconds, then rest under foil. When I take it out, it is not done, but finishes during resting! All this with an old Cuisinart toaster oven! Love that puppy!!! My question is, I’ve wrapped the “flaps” around, but what if I cut them off and join them as a little flat raft using this recipe! I bought recently bought 4 steaks when my market had them, & I individually wrapped for freezer. I cut the tails off all, originally bagging for freezer to use to make my own broth. However, I think I may try this with one set of 4. Hmmmm! I’ll re-post!

A winner for saturday brunch, no cucumber so I add apple salad instead. Perfect for hot spring weather

Honestly, I didn’t know I shouldn’t buy the tail end of salmon. But now that I have made one into medallions I may search for this cut of salmon! This was easy and stayed juicy and flavorful with such a short cooking time. We will definitely make this again.

It was super good and easy! I dove in and made the Alabama-Style White Bar-B-Que sauce for the top. Great looking meal! I never buy the end cut of salmon, but will just to make this! Ten minutes in my oven was just a tad too long but we didn't complain.

Great recipe

Watched Chef John make this dish and although I have lots of salmon in the freezer, went to the grocery and picked up the tail just to try this recipe. It came out just perfect as I followed him as I made the fun spirals. Loved the sauce on top and the dill just made them! I even made up a cucumber salad to serve it on. Anyway, I didn't change a thing (never do with Chef John's recipes) and can't wait to make them for company. They look so cool on the plate and take no time to cook. Ten minutes was just right! Loved this so much! Just a different little spin on salmon.......

I thought this was excellent! I prepared it as directed with zero exceptions. The only thing that could have been added would have been Chef John's Cucumber Salad recipe which the Salmon sat on! No worries! I used my own and served this with a side of Steamed Broccoli and dinner was divine!!
