Bruschetta With Salmon Tartare And Roe Recipe 435

Steps:

• Toast both sides of the bread until golden, then rub one side of each slice with the halved garlic cloves and brush generously with the extra virgin olive oil. Cut the salmon fillets into 1/2 inch dice, place in a nonmetallic bowl with the chives, lime juice, and 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Serve the salmon tartare immediately on the slices of bruschetta, topped with a small spoonful of each creme fraiche and salmon roe.

Steps:

• In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and stir, lightly frying for about a minute, removing before the garlic gets too brown (it can be golden). Pour the garlic and oil into a mixing bowl and allow to cool slightly.
• Add the red and yellow tomatoes, balsamic and basil to the bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine, and then taste and add more basil if needed, and more salt if needed (don't over salt, though!) Cover and refrigerate for an hour or two if you have the time.
• Cut the baguette into diagonal slices to allow for the most surface area possible. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet and grill half the bread on both sides, making sure they're nice and buttery. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the other half of the bread.
• To serve, give the tomato mixture a final stir, and then spoon generously over the slices of bread. Serve on a big platter as a first course or appetizer.

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Combine first 4 ingredients with 3 Tbsp. dressing. Spray large sheet heavy-duty foil with cooking spray.
• Place foil on grill grate. Top with fish, flesh side down.
• Grill 5 min.; turn fish. Brush with remaining dressing.
• Top with tomato mixture. Grill 18 to 20 min. or until fish flakes easily with fork; top with basil.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Place bread slices on ungreased cookie sheet. Drizzle 1 teaspoon oil on each slice bread. Bake about 8 minutes or until golden brown.
• While bread is toasting, mix remaining ingredients. Spoon tomato mixture onto bread slices. Serve at room temperature.
