French In A Flash: Crunchy Broiled Salmon With Beets Recipe

1. 1

   Bring a pot of water to boil. Peel the beets, and cut each beet into 8 wedges. Salt the boiling water, and boil the beets until tender to the point of a knife, about 25 minutes depending on the size of the beets. Drain, and set aside. Note: if cooking both golden and red beets, boil the two colors separately, or the red beets with stain the golden beets.

2. 2

   Preheat the broiler. While the beets are cooking, toast the panko. In a small nonstick saute pan, mix together the panko, 1 teaspoon olive oil, the rosemary, and salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the panko is golden-brown-less than 5 minutes. Set aside in a single layer on a paper towel to cool and remain crisp.

3. 3

   Season each fillet of salmon with 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil and salt and pepper. Make 4 piles of fresh thyme stems on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, and place one piece of salmon on each bed of thyme, tucking the thyme under the salmon. Toss the beets with 1 teaspoon olive oil, and salt and pepper. Place between and alongside the salmon fillets. Broil the salmon and beets about 6 inches from the heat source (the second rack placement from the top) until the salmon is crisp and golden on top and cooked through: 15 minutes. If you prefer your salmon less well cooked, take it out after 10 to 12 minutes (Salmon should register 130u00b0 with an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part for medium rare, 150u00b0 for well-done). Top with the rosemary panko crumbs, and serve right away.
