1/2 cup chardonnay or other full bodied dry white wine
1/2 cup evaporated skim milk

POTATO AND HORSERADISH CRUSTED SALMON



Potato and Horseradish Crusted Salmon image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium russet potato (about 9 ounces), peeled and cut into sixths
Kosher salt, as needed, plus 2 teaspoons
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Four 6-ounce center-cut skinless salmon fillets
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons half-and-half
2 to 3 tablespoons drained prepared horseradish
Four 2-inch-long chive segments, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place a rack about 4 inches from the broiler element and preheat.
  • Put the potato in a medium saucepan, cover with water by 2 inches, and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, lower the heat, and simmer until very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and heat. Season the salmon all over with salt and pepper. When the butter's foaming subsides, place the salmon, in the skillet and cook, turning once, until well-browned, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet.
  • Put the cooked potatoes in a small bowl with the 2 teaspoons salt, 2 tablespoons butter, half-and-half, and horseradish and, using a fork, mash until fluffy. Season with pepper, to taste.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan. Using your hands, press about 1/4 of the potato mixture onto the top of each salmon fillet, to form a thin crust. Lightly brush the potato with the melted butter.
  • Place the salmon under the broiler and cook until still slightly pinkish inside and the crusts are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to serving platter and garnish with the chive segments. Serve immediately.

WHISKEY-GLAZED SALMON WITH SALT-CRUSTED POTATOES



Whiskey-Glazed Salmon With Salt-Crusted Potatoes image

The savory snap of baby potatoes crusted in salt is just what you want with the subtle sweetness of this fish's glaze. The fish and the potatoes cook and come together at the same time in this fast meal. To achieve silky salmon without turning on the oven, gently cook it in a shallow pool of sauce that thickens to a syrup as it simmers. The potatoes, prepared using a technique from the Canary Islands, simply boil in generously salted water, then finish cooking with a splash of the liquid. When it evaporates, the salt that remains crusts onto the spuds. Shaking the pan vigorously helps the salt coat the potatoes evenly and sheds excess crystals. Serve with a salad or, after the glaze is scraped onto the fish, throw baby spinach into the still-hot skillet and stir to just wilt.

Categories     dinner, weeknight, seafood, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds baby gold potatoes, scrubbed
2 tablespoons coarse sea salt or kosher salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
6 tablespoons whiskey
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 (5-ounce) salmon fillets
Salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the potatoes: The potatoes should all be the same small size, about 1 inch in diameter, so cut any larger ones in halves or quarters. Place in a large saucepan with 4 cups water and add the salt. Bring to boil over high heat, then continue boiling until a paring knife slides through a potato easily, about 15 minutes.
  • About 5 minutes before the potatoes are tender, start the salmon: Combine the sugar, whiskey and Worcestershire sauce in a large skillet, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet skin side down (or the flat side if the fillets are skinless). Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the salmon becomes opaque about halfway up the sides, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, carefully tip the saucepan into the sink to pour out all but about 1/4 cup cooking water, keeping the potatoes in the pan. Return the saucepan to the stove with the potatoes and a thin layer of cooking water at the bottom, and set over high heat. Cook, shaking the pan often, until the liquid evaporates and the potatoes are crusted in a fine film of salt, about 5 minutes. The pan should be extremely dry and coated in salt and the potatoes will sound crackly when shaken.
  • Flip the salmon and continue cooking until just opaque from top to bottom and a paring knife slides through with almost no resistance, about 5 minutes longer. If you started with a 1-inch-thick fillet, this will be medium-rare. The timing will vary depending on the thickness of your fish and your preferred doneness. If you'd like, use tongs to peel off and discard the skin if there is any. The glaze should have thickened and be syrupy.
  • Divide the potatoes and salmon among serving plates and drizzle any glaze from the pan over the fish.

POTATO-CRUSTED SALMON



Potato-Crusted Salmon image

I got this recipe out of the Betty Crocker Healthy Heart Cookbook (which is awesome by the way). I haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to tonight. I will let you know what I find out. The note about this recipe in the book says, "Packed with Omega-3 fatty acids, salmon is low in saturated fat and high in polyunsaturated fats. Polyunsaturated fats, also found in corn oil, soybean oil and sunflower oil, are good choices because they tend not to elevate cholesterol levels like saturated fat does." All the recipes in this book seem fairly simple to make, and flavorful! I know one thing is that I don't have lemon pepper on hand ever so I'll just use some lemon juice and pepper to flavor the fish.

POTATO CRUSTED SALMON



Potato Crusted Salmon image

This crispy potato covering keeps the baked salmon so moist and flaky. Something similar was tasted at the home of a business associate in Atlanta, and the idea was used to come up with this recipe, which suited our taste at home. This can be put together in 10 minutes; then can be baking in the oven for 20-25 minutes while making additional vegetables to go with it (stir fry vegetables, asparagus, or steamed broccoli). I prefer to use Seafood Magic by Chef Paul Prudhomme, but any type of seafood seasoning you prefer should do the same. Also, I use my Salad Shooter to grate the potatoes, but a food processor with a shredding grater will also suffice. Another hint: line the pan with aluminum foil; then cut off a piece of non-stick aluminum foil to fit under the salmon. It is more economical that way.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon fillet. Look for a fillet that is about 1 inch thick and has no bones. The skin should be intact and the flesh should be firm and bright orange.
  • Make sure the potatoes are cooked through. The potatoes should be tender and easily pierced with a fork. If they are not cooked through, they will not crisp up in the oven.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil will help to brown the potatoes and give the salmon a nice flavor.
  • Season the salmon and potatoes well. Use a variety of herbs and spices to give the salmon and potatoes a delicious flavor.
  • Bake the salmon and potatoes until they are cooked through. The salmon should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy.

Conclusion:

This potato-crusted salmon recipe is a delicious and easy way to cook salmon. The potatoes add a crispy crust to the salmon and the herbs and spices give it a delicious flavor. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
