Steps:
- For the salmon: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Heat the oil in a heavy saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook until translucent and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until the liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and wilt for 4 minutes. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Let cool.
- Dust a flat working surface with flour. Using a rolling pin, roll out the sheets of puff pastry into 1/4-inch thickness (each 12 by 12 inches). Put the pastry sheets side-by-side so they overlap slightly, by about 1/2 inch. Brush the overlapping strip with the beaten egg, stick both sheets together at the strip and seal with a fork. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Spoon the cooled mushroom-spinach mixture over one side of the puff pastry rectangle. To make an even rectangle out of the salmon fillet, you can cut the top portion off of the belly and add it to the tail part. Place the fillet over the mushroom-spinach mixture. Season the salmon heavily with salt and pepper. Fold the other side of the rectangle over the filling and seal by brushing the edge with egg wash and crimping as you would a pie crust (you can use a fork; I crimped like a pie crust with my fingers). Fold the remaining 2 open edges of pastry under the salmon fillet. Brush everything with the egg wash.
- Bake until the puff pastry is crisp and golden in color, 25 minutes. Let stand for about 8 minutes before slicing.
- For the dill sauce: Put the clam juice in a heavy saucepot and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and reduce to 1/2 cup. Add the Mexican crema and heavy cream and reduce to 1 cup. Add the flour and whisk while boiling until thickened. Add the dill and season with salt and pepper.
- Slice the salmon into 1 1/4 to 1 1/2-inch slices. Serve immediately with the dill sauce.

CRISPY POTATO-WRAPPED SALMON WITH MUSTARD SAUCE AND WILTED SPINACH
Steps:
- Peel potato and with a very sharp slicer cut lengthwise into paper-thin slices. On a work surface arrange overlapping potato slices to form a rectangle as wide as one of the salmon pieces is long (about 6 1/2 inches) and long enough to wrap around it (about 8 inches). You will need about 2 overlapping rows of about 4 overlapping slices. Season salmon with salt and pepper and place crosswise over potato "seam" in center of rectangle. Lift potato slices around salmon to enclose, overlapping slightly. Wrap remaining salmon piece in potato slices in same manner. In a large skillet heat 1/3-inch oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Carefully slide wrapped salmon with a spatula into oil and fry 3 minutes, or until undersides are golden. Carefully turn salmon over with tongs or 2 spatulas and fry until potato is golden and salmon is just cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Transfer wrapped salmon to paper towels to drain. In a skillet cook spinach in 1 teaspoon butter over moderate heat, stirring, until just wilted, about 1 minute. Season spinach with salt and pepper and transfer to paper towels to drain. In cleaned skillet heat lemon juice, water, and mustard over moderately low heat, stirring. Add remaining 3/4 stick butter all at once and heat, swirling skillet constantly, just until sauce is creamy and butter is incorporated. Sauce must not get hot enough to separate. Remove skillet from heat and season sauce with salt and pepper. Mound spinach in center of 2 heated plates and top with salmon. Pour mustard sauce around spinach.

Steps:
- Pat the fillets dry and sprinkle lightly with salt and black pepper (not too much salt, because the prosciutto will be salty). Wrap two slices of prosciutto around each fillet, winding it around from top to bottom. Don't worry if it doesn't stick very well; it'll contract and cling to the fish as it cooks. Set the wrapped fish aside.
- Heat a 12-inch skillet with a lid over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil shimmers, add the salmon to the pan and cook until browned on the first side, about 2 minutes. Flip the fish over with a thin-edged spatula and cook the other side until browned, another minute or so. Transfer the fish to a plate. (It will not be fully cooked at this point.).
- Add the onion and poblano to the hot pan and sauté until the vegetables begin to soften, about 2 minutes.
- Add the corn, lima beans, cayenne and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Season with black pepper and sauté until the corn is almost tender, about 1 minute. Quickly pour in the cream and stir in the 1 tablespoon basil.
- Top the vegetables with the fish, cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork when pierced, about 3 minutes. Some of the salt from the prosciutto probably crept into the corn, so taste and season with more salt, pepper or cayenne if it needs it.
- Mound the vegetables onto two warmed plates and top with the fish and a few basil leaves sprinkled over the top. Serve hot.

POTATO-WRAPPED SALMON 2
Steps:
- Instructions 1. Pat down the salmon fillets with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. In a small bowl, mix the oregano, parsley and garlic. Evenly spread the spice rub on each fillet. Sprinkle each fillet with salt and pepper. Set aside while potatoes are prepared. 2. Halve the peeled potatoes lengthwise. Using a mandoline slicer, cut the potatoes into long, paper-thin strips. 3. Set out a piece of plastic wrap on the work surface, and lay out 5-6 potato slices in the center of the wrap, lined up in a row, overlapping slightly. Form another row in the same way, with the ends of this second row slightly overlapping the short ends of the first row, forming a rectangular shape. Sprinkle the potato slices with salt and pepper. 4. Pat the fish fillets dry once more, and place a fillet across the overlapped potato slices. Using the plastic wrap to help you, fold the loose ends of the slices over the fish to form a little bundle. Dab the overlapped ends with a bit of olive oil and press down to make them stick. Fold the rest of the plastic wrap over to keep the bundle shut, turn the bundle over to keep it from opening, and place in the fridge to firm up. Repeat with the rest of the potato slices and salmon fillets. 5. Let the bundles firm in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Once they've firmed (which should help the bundles stay shut), take them out of the fridge. Heat a heavy (preferably cast iron) pan over high heat. Coat the pan with 2-3 tablespoons of oil. Carefully unwrap the fish bundles from the plastic wrap and place in the pan, seam side down. Fry for about 4 minutes, flip, and fry the other side for 2-3 minutes more or until the fish is opaque in the center and the potato slices are lightly browned. 6. Serve immediately with a lemon wedge, a dollop of sour cream, and a pinch of chopped chives.
SALMON FILLETS WRAPPED IN PUFFED PASTRY
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375º. Combine dill and cheese. Work with one piece of puffed pastry at a time. Place 2 or 3 of the spinach leaves on left edge of the pastry, layer a piece of chilled salmon on top of spinach, season fish with salt and pepper. Place 1/4 of the shallots on top of fish, layer with 1/4 of the cheese mixture, top with a few more spinach leaves. Fold pastry over fish and seal by rolling the edges. Prick the sealed pocket with a fork to vent, and paint with beaten egg. Bake for 20 minutes, switch the oven to broil and leave in oven an additional 3 minutes (watch it so it doesn't burn). Pastry should be golden. Serve at once with tartar sauce.

SALMON WRAPPED POACHED EGGS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Make sauce:
- Whisk together sour cream and lemon juice. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. (If necessary, add water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, for a thick yet spoonable consistency.) Stir in chives, tarragon, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Prepare brioches for serving:
- Soak onion in cold water to cover 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
- Halve and peel avocados and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then sprinkle slices with lemon juice. Put 2 brioche toasts on each of 8 plates and season with salt and pepper. Arrange a few sorrel leaves on each toast, then top with avocado and onion.
- Poach eggs:
- Fill a well-buttered 17- by 11- by 2-inch flameproof baking pan with 1 1/4 inches water and stir in vinegar (to help whites coagulate faster). Set pan to straddle 2 burners and bring water to a simmer.
- Break 1 egg into a cup and slide into water. Repeat with remaining eggs, adding them in rows so you can easily take them out in same order. Poach eggs at a bare simmer 3 to 4 minutes, or until whites are firm but yolks are still runny. Transfer eggs as cooked with a slotted spoon to kitchen towels to drain and season with salt and pepper.
- Wrap each egg in a slice of salmon. Put a wrapped egg on top of each toast and drizzle sauce over salmon.
