Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup water
2 large lettuce leaves, for lining the basket
2 sprigs dill
1 salmon fillet (each about 7 ounces and 1 inch thick)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small green-cabbage leaf, for the cup
1/2 cup shelled fresh English peas or frozen, defrosted
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut in half
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Prepare steamer basket: Bring wine and water to a simmer in a large skillet or wok. Meanwhile, line the top of a small steamer basket with 1 lettuce leaf and a dill sprig. Season both sides of the salmon fillet with salt and pepper and place on top of the lettuce, then place remaining dill sprig over fish. Place the remaining lettuce leaf in the bottom basket and then top with cabbage "cup." Place the peas in the cup. Dot peas evenly with butter and season with salt.
  • Steam fish and peas: When the liquid in the skillet is boiling, set the basket with the peas in skillet, rest the salmon basket on top, then secure bamboo lid tightly in place. Steam until peas are just tender and bright green and fish is evenly opaque throughout, 7 to 9 minutes (you'll have to remove the basket to check).
  • Meanwhile, make sauce: Whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, and salt to taste. Serve salmon, cabbage, and peas immediately, with yogurt sauce on the side.

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 8 ounce salmon fillets (center cut), preferably Wild King salmon
1 cup dry white wine
Flaky sea salt, preferred brand Maldon
4 ounces fresh morel mushrooms, or dried morels soaked in hot water
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups shelled English peas, or frozen peas
Freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch of chives, finely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
Chive blossoms, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • In a wide, deep pot or Dutch oven, add water to the depth of a couple of inches and bring to a gentle simmer.If you are cutting portions from a whole salmon fillet, cut two large pieces from the center of the fillet. To the poaching water, add the wine and a generous pinch of salt. Gently lower the fish, skin side down, into the poaching liquid, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Gently poach the fish until it is just cooked through or barely opaque in the center, 8 to 12 minutes.
  • While the salmon is poaching, prepare the rest of the ingredients for the sauce. Cut the morels in half or quarters, depending on the size of the mushrooms. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the morels. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the peas and toss to coat in the butter mixture. Add 1/2 cup of the salmon poaching liquid, and simmer until the peas begin to soften and the liquid evaporates, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • While the sauce is cooking, finely chop the chives and pick the chive blossoms for the garnishing of the dish.Add the cream and gently simmer the sauce until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • Check the doneness of the salmon by gently inserting a paring knife into the thickest part of the fillet. If the knife blade is slightly warm to the touch, remove the fillets from the poaching liquid with a fish spatula.Carefully peel off and discard the skin.
  • Serve the salmon with the peas and cream spooned on top. Garnish with sea salt, chives, and chive blossoms, if you like.

STEAMED SALMON WITH PEAS AND LEEKS



Steamed Salmon With Peas and Leeks image

Provided by Nancy Harmon Jenkins

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 fillets of fresh salmon, about 6 ounces each
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 cup fish stock, flavored with white wine
2 medium leeks, cut in julienne strips, 1 inch long
1 medium carrot, cut in julienne strips, 1 inch long
1 cup freshly shelled peas
4 ounces sweet butter
2 hard-cooked eggs
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Juice of 1/2 lemon (1 1/2 tablespoons)

Steps:

  • Run fingers lightly over salmon fillets to check for bones.
  • Saute shallots in peanut oil over medium-low heat until lightly cooked, then set aside to cool. Add 1 tablespoon each of chopped parsley and mint. Rub this mixture over the salmon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. This may be done ahead of time. Refrigerate salmon until ready to continue.
  • Place 3/4 cup of fish stock in the bottom of a steamer, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Place fish on rack; cover and steam until fish is cooked through. Cooking time will depend on thickness of fillets: plan on 9 minutes per inch of thickness. When fish is done, remove from steamer, and place each fillet on a warm plate. Set aside in a warm place while finishing the recipe.
  • While salmon is steaming, coarsely chop eggs and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, combine remaining 1/4 cup of fish stock with stock from steamer, bring to a simmer, and cook julienned vegetables for 3 minutes. Add peas and cook 1 minute more.
  • Remove vegetables with a slotted spoon, leaving juices in pan, and arrange around each salmon fillet.
  • Place the saucepan with the juices over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and reduce to approximately 2 tablespoons. Over low heat, whisk in butter, a tablespoon at a time. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Add remaining mint and parsley.
  • Garnish the fish with chopped eggs, and spoon the butter sauce over the fish and vegetables. Serve with small buttered new potatoes, if desired.

ROASTED SALMON WITH CREAMED LEEKS



Roasted Salmon with Creamed Leeks image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 veal knuckle
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1 pound rutabaga, peeled and quartered
2 carrots, roughly chopped
2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
1 large onion, roughly chopped
6 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bottle decent red wine
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 /4 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 leeks, trimmed, and sliced into 1/4-inch circles
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 whole fillet of salmon, about 3 1/2 pounds, scaled, with the skin attached and pin bones removed
2 shallots, minced
1/2 pound fresh porcini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
1/2 pound fresh chanterelle mushrooms, cleaned and sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Place the veal and tomato paste into a deep, oven-proof stock pot. Drizzle with 1/4 cup of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven to roast for 30 minutes. Add the rutabaga, carrots, celery, onion, and 3 sprigs of the thyme to the pan. Continue to roast for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and place over a medium flame. Pour in the wine and enough water to cover by 3 inches. Let simmer for 1 1/2 hours, skim any impurities that rise to the surface.
  • When reduced by half, remove and strain through a fine sieve. Discard the solids and keep the sauce warm. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
  • Meanwhile, heat the butter and 1/4 cup of the olive oil together in a large saute pan over a low flame. Add the leeks and 2 sprigs thyme to the pan and let soften for 5 minutes. Add the cream to the leeks and continue to cook until thick, about 10 more minutes. Stir occasionally. Season with salt and pepper and set aside to cool.
  • Use a sharp knife to split the fish open like a book, making a slice in the salmon fillet lengthwise from collar to tail about halfway between the skin and the bottom, being careful not to slice completely through the opposite side. Open the salmon like a book with the skin side down on the cutting board. Season the inside and outside of the fish with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and begin stuffing the salmon. Spread the leek mixture evenly over the fish. Then begin rolling the flesh side in towards the skin side like a jellyroll. The salmon should roll up until the skin covers the outside of the fish again. Secure with kitchen string in several places and coat the skin with extra virgin olive oil.
  • Drizzle the remaining olive oil into a large roasting pan and heat over a medium-high flame. Place the salmon in the pan and sear the skin until crispy on all sides, rolling several times in the pan. Carefully place the roasting pan in the oven and roast for five minutes. Slice into 2-inch pinwheels.
  • While the fish is roasting, start the mushrooms. Pour the remaining olive oil into a large saute pan over a medium flame. Add the shallots, remaining sprig of thyme, and mushrooms. Let the mushrooms cook for 10 minutes, until they release their moisture. Stir often and let the moisture evaporate. Add 3/4 cup of the sauce. Let simmer until the mushrooms absorb the sauce and then season with salt and pepper. Serve the mushrooms with a pinwheel of salmon and additional sauce.

SAUTéED SALMON WITH LEEKS AND TOMATOES



Sautéed Salmon With Leeks and Tomatoes image

Here is a fresh and simple way to prepare salmon that is ready in about 20 minutes. Most of that time will be spent preparing the vegetables. You do have to blanch, core and chop the tomatoes, but that is quick work. (We won't tell if you use the canned, diced sort instead. Just drain them first.) Once that's done, sauté the fish and set aside. Throw tomatoes, leeks, lemon juice and freshly ground pepper into the pan and sauté for a quick minute. Spoon over the fish and serve.

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 skinless, boneless salmon fillets, about 1 1/2 pounds, at room temperature
Salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 leek, well trimmed
2 or 3 red ripe tomatoes, about 1 1/2 pounds
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander or basil

Steps:

  • If there are any bones in the salmon, pull them out with tweezers and discard. Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper.
  • Trim off the stem ends of the leek. Cut the leek lengthwise into thin slices. Finely chop the leek. There should be about 1/3 cup.
  • Drop the tomatoes into boiling water and let stand 9 to 12 seconds.
  • Peel and remove the cores. Cut the flesh of the tomatoes into quarter-inch cubes. There should be about 1 1/4 cups.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a nonstick skillet over moderately high heat and add the salmon pieces skinned side up. Cook 2 minutes and then turn the pieces. If you want the salmon medium rare, cook the fish 2 minutes longer. Transfer the fish to a warm platter.
  • Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Add the tomatoes and leek, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Cook about 1 minute. Pour the mixture over the salmon and sprinkle with the coriander or basil.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon fillet. Look for a center-cut fillet that is about 1-inch thick. This will ensure that the salmon cooks evenly.
  • Season the salmon simply. Salt and pepper are all you really need to bring out the natural flavor of the salmon. You can also add a little bit of lemon zest or dried herbs, if you like.
  • Steam the salmon until it is just cooked through. The salmon should be opaque and flaky, but it should not be overcooked. This will take about 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet.
  • Serve the salmon immediately with your favorite sides. Steamed salmon is delicious with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
