Yield Makes 8 (first course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 oz fresh or canned black truffles, very thinly sliced
1 (2-lb) center-cut salmon fillet, skinned and cut crosswise into 8 pieces
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground mixed or black peppercorns
8 (8-inch) rice-paper rounds
8 fresh chives, trimmed to 4 inches
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Truffle oil to taste

Steps:

  • Reserve 8 of the best-looking truffle slices.
  • Butterfly each salmon piece horizontally with a sharp knife. Arrange 1 layer of truffle slices on bottom halves and replace tops to cover truffles. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper.
  • Spread a kitchen towel on a work surface and fill a large bowl with warm water. Soak 1 rice-paper round (make sure there are no holes) in warm water until pliable, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, then transfer to towel. Arrange 1 chive and 1 reserved truffle slice in center of round and top with 1 salmon piece, rounded side down. Fold rice paper over short sides of salmon, then over long sides to enclose salmon, trimming excess with scissors if necessary. (Truffle slice and chive will show through.) Transfer, seam sides down, to a tray and keep covered with plastic wrap. Wrap and cover remaining salmon in same manner.
  • Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté 4 salmon packages, seam sides up, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn salmon over and reduce heat to moderate. Cook until sides of salmon are firm to the touch, 4 to 6 minutes more, then transfer with a spatula to plates. Cook remaining salmon in same manner.
  • Lightly brush with some truffle oil.

This is the best salmon recipe I've ever tried. The crackling skin is amazing and the truffle butter is the perfect finishing touch.

I'm not sure why, but my salmon didn't come out with crispy skin. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I found that the salmon was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the recipe.

I'm not a big fan of salmon, but I really enjoyed this dish. The truffle butter made all the difference.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. The salmon is incredibly flavorful and the crackling skin is a nice touch.

I thought the truffle butter was a bit too overpowering. Next time, I'll use less of it.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salmon came out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This salmon dish was a hit with my family! The crackling skin was perfectly crispy, and the truffle-infused butter added a touch of luxury. I will definitely be making this again.
