House Smoked Salmon With Fresh Dill And Capers Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter add all the flour at one time and cook until a sandy texture is achieved. Slowly add the half-and-half, mixing well, and bringing to a boil after each addition. Add the onion with the bay leaf and clove, and simmer for 45 minutes.
• Strain before using.

Steps:

• Preheat a pellet grill to 475 degrees F (see Cook's Note).
• Combine the mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, shallot, garlic, capers, chopped dill, honey and a large pinch each of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.
• Prepare 3 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil that are each 6 inches longer than the salmon; stack the foil and brush the top sheet generously with olive oil. Place the salmon, skin-side down, in the center of the foil stack and crimp all 4 sides to form a rim. Season the fish generously with salt and pepper then spread the mayonnaise mixture on top.
• Set the foil directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the salmon reaches 140 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Using heatproof gloves, carefully transfer the foil with the salmon to a platter for serving. Top with the torn dill fronds and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Steps:

• Mix the yogurt with the mustard, lemon zest, dill and capers and season with pepper. Now use to coat the salmon really well.
• If serving now, either grill the salmon on foil for 6-8 mins (there is no need to turn), or barbecue for 3-4 mins on each side, preferably in fish grill to make turning easier. Serve with new potatoes and lemon wedges, alongside green veg and salad leaves.

Steps:

• Put the vinegar and sugar into a heavy-based saucepan and bring to the boil, allowing the sugar to dissolve. Add the sliced shallots to the warm liquid, stir through, then tip into a dish and cover with cling film. Set aside.
• Arrange the smoked salmon in the centre of each plate, making sure that the slices slightly overlap, and set aside.
• Put the frisée salad, the chives, capers, a little of the shallot vinegar and some of the shallots into a mixing bowl and toss together. Spoon the mixture over the salmon and serve with a few twists of black pepper, a drizzle of oil and lemon wedges on the side.
