Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 (1 1/2-pound) salmon fillet
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 medium lemon, sliced
1 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons minced fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
2 tablespoons drained capers, minced
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced lemon zest
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 dash hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®), or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Remove salmon skin and any pin bones; pat dry. Rub both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange on the baking skeet.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until the thickest part is still translucent and an instant-read thermometer reads at least 125 degrees F (52 degrees C), about 15 minutes; salmon will continue to cook once out of the oven.
  • While salmon is roasting, prepare tartar sauce: combine mayonnaise, sour cream, tarragon, relish, capers, shallot, white wine vinegar, lemon zest, Dijon, sugar, Worcestershire, hot sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl; mix until blended. Chill to blend flavors until salmon is ready.
  • Remove salmon from the oven. Transfer to a platter and garnish with lemon slices and tarragon. Serve with tartar sauce.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 pounds little neck clams in their shells, or 1 (12-ounce) jar chopped clams with juice
1/2 cup water, if using fresh clams
1 small yellow onion, coarsely grated
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 teaspoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup semolina flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs, separated
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
About 1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 teaspoon finely minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon capers, drained and chopped
1 teaspoon chopped cornichon or dill pickle
1 anchovy fillet, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and cayenne pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • To make the clam cakes: If using clams in their shells, combine the clams and water in a large skillet. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, then cover. Steam for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the shells open. Discard any clams that do not open. Remove from heat and let the clams cool in their shells. Take the meat out of the shells. Strain the clam juice, reserving 3/4 cup. Coarsely chop the clam meat. This will produce approximately 1 1/4 cups of chopped meat. If using jarred clams, drain well, reserving 3/4 cup of the juice.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the chopped clams, bell pepper, parsley, and tarragon; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, semolina flour, baking powder, cayenne pepper, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, reserved or bottle clam juice, egg yolks, melted butter, and lemon juice. Stir the liquid ingredients and clam mixture into the dry ingredients to form a batter; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff, glossy peaks form. Fold them into the batter. Let the batter stand for 15 minutes.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium heat. Spoon in about 3 tablespoons of the batter for each clam cake (about 4 per batch). Cook, turning once, until lightly browned on each side, about 3 minutes total. Place the cakes on a plate in a low oven to keep warm. Repeat the process, adding more oil as needed, until all the batter is used. Serve hot with tartar sauce.
  • To make the tartar sauce: In a medium bowl, combine all of the tartar sauce ingredients and stir to blend. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. This sauce can be made up to 2 days ahead.
