SALMON WITH CRAB SAUCE
Found this online some where about a year ago. We love it. I usually just do two salmon filets and halve the sauce since I cook for just two of us. But if you do the whole sauce recipe and have leftovers it is great on toast for lunch the next day. I used skim milk. Elegant enough for a dinner party

Steps:
- For the crab cake mix: Gently mix the crab meat with the mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, seafood seasoning and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. Form four 4-ounce crab cakes.
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
- For the salmon: Make a small vertical pocket in each piece of salmon. Place a slice of Brie on the bottom of the pocket, top with 1 crab cake and another slice of Brie.
- Place the salmon in a large baking dish and add enough water to reach one-quarter of the way up the side of the salmon. Bake until pale and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
- For the asparagus and sauce: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the asparagus just until crisp tender and bright green. Drain and plunge into an ice bath to stop the cooking.
- Put the vinegar and shallots in a saute pan and cook over medium heat until vigorously bubbling and reduced by three-quarters, about 2 minutes. Add a pinch salt and pepper, reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the butter. If the sauce is too thin, continue to simmer over very low heat until desired thickness.
- In a second saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper and cook until warmed through. (The asparagus is already cooked so don't saute it too long.)

Steps:

- To make the avocado sauce, steep the lemon grass in fish stock and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes to infuse the flavor. Remove the lemon grass from the stock and discard. Place the stock in a blender, add the diced avocados, and blend until smooth. Lastly, add the chives for color and flavor.
- In a medium size bowl, combine the crabmeat, halved tomatoes, and lime juice. Toss lightly and set aside.
- To serve, place the salmon fillets in the center of each plate. Place a spoonful of the crab salad on the side and drizzle the avocado sauce around the plate.
