SOUR CREAM & DILL SAUCE TO SERVE WITH SALMON



Sour Cream & Dill Sauce to Serve With Salmon image

I prefer to make this sauce ahead to give the flavors time to blend together. I've usually served this with salmon baked with a combination of white wine, tarragon, dill & shallots or scallions. I'm posting this the way it originally came to me, but nowadays I would omit the salt and let others add it at the dinner table.

CREPES WITH SMOKED SALMON AND LEMON-HERB SOUR CREAM



Crepes with Smoked Salmon and Lemon-Herb Sour Cream image

Provided by Food Network

Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup quick mix flour (recommended: Wondra)
1 cup milk
1/3 cup cold water
3 eggs, beaten
4 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for pan
Pinch kosher salt
1 cup sour cream or creme fraiche
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/4 cup minced dill
2 tablespoons snipped chives
2 tablespoons chopped capers
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces smoked salmon
Caper berries, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, add all of the crepe batter ingredients and whisk together until smooth. Expect the batter to be thinner than normal pancake batter. Refrigerate the batter for at least 30 minutes.
  • When ready to make the crepes, lightly brush a 6 to 8-inch crepe pan or small nonstick skillet with melted butter and put over medium-high heat.
  • Ladle a few tablespoons of batter into the center of the hot pan.
  • Lift the pan, removing it from the heat, and swirl so the batter coats the bottom of the pan in an even layer that's as thin as possible. If you have a few holes in the crepe, you can add a bit more batter to those bald spots to cover them. If there is excess batter in the pan, simply pour it back into the batter bowl.
  • Return the pan to the heat and cook until the edges crisp and the batter loses its shine, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Using a nonstick spatula, flip the crepe and continue cooking on the other side, another 30 to 45 seconds.
  • If making crepes in advance, you can either slide the cooked crepes onto a cookie sheet and keep warm in a 200 degree F oven, or stack on a plate, putting waxed paper between each layer to prevent sticking while you continue with the remaining batter.
  • When ready to serve, heat 1 crepe in a pan and add some of the filling, warming slightly. (If you imagine your crepe to be divided into quarters, you only want to add filling to the bottom corner in order to fold it properly. The crepe should be folded in half (like you would an omelet) and then again into a neat triangle (like a piece of pie). If you want more filling, crepes can be either rolled or folded in half.)
  • Combine the sour cream or creme fraiche, lemon zest, lemon juice, dill, chives, and capers, in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • To serve, put a piece of smoked salmon in the bottom corner of a warmed crepe, folding in half (like you would an omelet) and then again into a neat triangle (like a piece of pie). Repeat with remaining crepes and filling. Arrange the crepes on a serving platter. Top each with a dollop of lemon-herb cream and a caper berry before serving.

SALMON WITH CREAMY DILL SAUCE



Salmon with Creamy Dill Sauce image

I served this with spaghetti. I tossed the hot, drained noodles with enough of the sauce to coat, plated the spaghetti, topped with the salmon and dressed the salmon with another dollop of the sauce, and garnished with a few more capers.

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (2 pound) salmon fillet
1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 small onion, sliced and separated into rings
6 slices lemon
¼ cup butter, cut into small chunks
⅓ cup sour cream
⅓ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon capers
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon caper brine
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
¾ teaspoon dried dill weed
¼ teaspoon garlic salt
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; grease the foil lightly.
  • Place salmon fillet with skin side down on foil. Season salmon with lemon-pepper and onion salt; top with onion rings and lemon slices, dot with butter. Fold foil around salmon and seal tightly.

PASTA WITH SMOKED SALMON AND CAPERS



Pasta with Smoked Salmon and Capers image

Another classic combination, this dish makes people think you went to a lot of trouble. Actually it's quite simple. Any shape of pasta works, but I prefer a small noodle such as shells or bowties. Despite what an Italian might otherwise recommend, I like to serve this dish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 pound smoked salmon, chopped
1 cup heavy cream (a.k.a. whipping cream)
3 tablespoons capers, drained
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
N/A freshly ground black pepper
1 pound pasta, cooked al dente, drained (reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking water), and tossed with olive oil
N/A olive oil
Freshly grated imported Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, but not browned. Add the smoked salmon and continue cooking just until the salmon turns opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the cream and add the capers. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Be careful how much salt you add because the smoked salmon and capers are both salty. Add the pasta and toss to coat. If there doesn't appear to be enough sauce, add a couple of tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to thin it down. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality smoked salmon that is fresh and has a good texture.
  • If you don't have capers, you can substitute finely chopped gherkins or dill pickles.
  • To make the sauce ahead of time, simply refrigerate it in a covered container for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, bring it to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
  • To make a vegetarian version of this dish, simply omit the smoked salmon and add in some extra vegetables, such as avocado, cucumber, or red onion.
  • This dish is also delicious served on top of a bed of mixed greens or quinoa.

Conclusion:

Smoked salmon with sour cream caper sauce is a simple yet elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. Whether you are serving it as an appetizer, main course, or brunch dish, this dish is sure to impress your guests.
