Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

8 slices whole-grain bread, sliced 1/4 inch thick, toasted
2 ripe avocados, seeded, peeled, and sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick
1 lemon, halved
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 slices smoked salmon (about 8 ounces)
Gravlax Sauce, recipe follows
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced crosswise in half-rounds
Dill fronds, for serving
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey mustard
1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons good white wine vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons good olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Place the toasted bread on a cutting board and overlap slices of avocado on each piece of bread, using a quarter to half an avocado for each, depending on the sizes of the avocado and the bread.
  • Sprinkle the avocado with lemon juice, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place one large slice of salmon on top, ribboning it to fit. Drizzle with a tablespoon of the Gravlax Sauce. Garnish with some red onion, sprinkle with the dill fronds, salt, and pepper, and serve with extra sauce on the side.
  • Whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey mustard, whole-grain mustard, ground mustard, sugar, and vinegar in a medium bowl. Combine the olive and grapeseed oils in a small measuring cup. Slowly add the oil mixture to the mustard mixture, whisking constantly, until emulsified. Stir in the dill and salt.

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large russet baking potatoes (1 1/4 pounds total)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Canola oil
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
4 tablespoons creme fraiche
1/4 pound thinly sliced smoked salmon, preferably Scottish
Minced fresh chives, for serving

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes, then cut them lengthwise in long matchsticks, using the finest julienne blade of a mandoline. Spread the potatoes out neatly in one layer on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, roll the towel up, and squeeze lightly to dry the potatoes without breaking them up. Put the potatoes into a bowl and toss them with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a small (8-inch) omelet pan (a saute pan with sloped sides) over medium heat. Add half of the potatoes to the pan and press lightly with a large metal spatula to make the shreds lie flat. Cook them undisturbed for 5 minutes. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the butter around the edge of the pan and cook the potatoes for another 3 to 5 minutes, until nicely browned on the bottom. Loosen the galette gently around the edge with the metal spatula and flip it over. (Be careful! The oil and butter underneath are very hot!) Add another tablespoon of butter around the edge and cook the galette for 4 to 5 minutes longer, until the second side is nicely browned. With the metal spatula, transfer the galette to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Repeat with the rest of the potatoes and butter to make a second galette.
  • Place the two galettes on a cutting board. Spread each galette with 2 tablespoons of the creme fraiche and a layer of smoked salmon, covering the galette completely. Sprinkle with minced chives and sprinkle lightly with salt. Use a large chef's knife to cut each galette into 6 wedges and serve hot.

Smoked salmon adds just the right amount of saltiness to layers of golden spuds. Thinly sliced potatoes in concentric circles make a pretty galette. This one has a cool, fluffy spread that pairs perfectly with smoked salmon.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium russet potatoes
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons cream cheese
3 tablespoons creme fraiche (or sour cream)
5 ounces sliced smoked salmon
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat; let solids sink to bottom. Skim foam. Carefully pour off clarified butter, discarding solids.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice potatoes a little less than 1/8 inch thick, and lay on a kitchen towel. Heat a large ovenproof skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons clarified butter; swirl to coat. Arrange some potatoes in concentric circles. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and some freshly ground pepper to coat. Repeat with remaining potatoes to form 2 more layers. Pour 3 tablespoons clarified butter down sides of skillet to seep under potatoes. Brush underside of a medium heavy skillet with remaining clarified butter; set over potatoes as a cover. Reduce heat to medium. Cook until underside is golden and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes more. Flip potatoes using 2 metal spatulas. Cover with skillet. Cook until potatoes start to brown, about 4 minutes. Remove top skillet. Bake until underside is crisp, 7 to 9 minutes.
  • Remove galette from skillet; transfer to a wire rack. Let cool for 10 minutes. Beat cream cheese with creme fraiche until fluffy; spread over potatoes. Top with salmon. Sprinkle with chives. Cut into wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon. Fresh, wild-caught salmon is the best choice for these galettes. If you can't find fresh salmon, frozen salmon will also work.
  • Flake the salmon into small pieces. This will help it to cook evenly and will make the galettes easier to eat.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is the binder that holds the galettes together, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the galettes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the galettes over medium heat. Cooking the galettes over medium heat will help them to cook evenly and will prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the galettes immediately. These galettes are best served warm, so serve them as soon as they are cooked.

Conclusion:

These mini salmon galettes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. With their flakey salmon, creamy mayonnaise, and crispy panko crust, these galettes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
