Potato Crusted Salmon Michael Smith Recipes

Steps:

• Remove and discard skin from fish. Cut fish into 4 serving pieces. Mix egg white and water with fork. Mix dry potatoes, cornstarch, paprika and lemon-pepper seasoning. Dip just the top sides of fish into egg white mixture, then press into potato mixture.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over high heat. Cook fish, potato sides down, in oil 3 minutes. Carefully turn fish, using wide slotted spatula. Reduce heat to medium. Cook about 3 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with fork.

Steps:

• Place a rack about 4 inches from the broiler element and preheat.
• Put the potato in a medium saucepan, cover with water by 2 inches, and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, lower the heat, and simmer until very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and heat. Season the salmon all over with salt and pepper. When the butter's foaming subsides, place the salmon, in the skillet and cook, turning once, until well-browned, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet.
• Put the cooked potatoes in a small bowl with the 2 teaspoons salt, 2 tablespoons butter, half-and-half, and horseradish and, using a fork, mash until fluffy. Season with pepper, to taste.
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan. Using your hands, press about 1/4 of the potato mixture onto the top of each salmon fillet, to form a thin crust. Lightly brush the potato with the melted butter.
• Place the salmon under the broiler and cook until still slightly pinkish inside and the crusts are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to serving platter and garnish with the chive segments. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Grate potatoes through the large holes of a box grater into a medium sized bowl.
• Stir in horseradish, oil and salt and pepper mixing well.
• Pat crust onto top surface of filets and place in a baking pan or on a baking sheet.
• Bake until salmon is cooked through and the crust is golden and crispy, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• For the salmon: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the salmon in the center skin-side down. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spread the Dijon evenly on the flesh side of the salmon.
• In a food processor, combine the BBQ chips, sugar, chili powder, scallions, garlic and lime zest and pulse until combined and the consistency of coarse bread crumbs. Press the mixture onto the mustard on the flesh side of the salmon.
• Bake until the chip mixture is golden brown and crunchy, about 15 minutes.
• For the salad: In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, vinegar, lime juice and jalapeno. While whisking, drizzle in the olive oil. Add the watercress, mango and onions and season with salt and pepper, tossing to coat.
• Place the salad on a plate with the salmon and garnish the salad with the almonds.

Steps:

• For the Salmon breading:
• Place 2 cups shredded potatoes into a shallow pan. Using a rubber spatula spread 1/8 cup of salmon glue evenly onto one side of a 6 ounces salmon filet. Place coated side of salmon filet into shredded potatoes. Repeat process for opposite side. Ensure that salmon is evenly coated in shredded potatoes.
• For the Lemon butter sauce:
• In a saute pan add white wine, lemon juice, cream, garlic, turmeric, salt and pepper. Heat on high heat and reduce by 1/2 its original volume. Remove from heat and swirl in diced butter.
• Plating procedure:
• Place potato crusted salmon onto griddle over medium high heat. Allow to cook on one side until potatoes are golden brown. Flip salmon and complete cooking and browning of salmon. Approximately 3 1/2 to 4 minutes for each side. Place 2 ounces garlic mashed potatoes onto the center of a dinner plate, ladle sauce around mashed potatoes, and place vegetables atop mashed potatoes. Place browned salmon atop vegetables. Garnish with julienne green onions.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients into a bowl and mix well.
• Serve with salmon.

Steps:

• Make the potatoes: The potatoes should all be the same small size, about 1 inch in diameter, so cut any larger ones in halves or quarters. Place in a large saucepan with 4 cups water and add the salt. Bring to boil over high heat, then continue boiling until a paring knife slides through a potato easily, about 15 minutes.
• About 5 minutes before the potatoes are tender, start the salmon: Combine the sugar, whiskey and Worcestershire sauce in a large skillet, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet skin side down (or the flat side if the fillets are skinless). Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the salmon becomes opaque about halfway up the sides, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, carefully tip the saucepan into the sink to pour out all but about 1/4 cup cooking water, keeping the potatoes in the pan. Return the saucepan to the stove with the potatoes and a thin layer of cooking water at the bottom, and set over high heat. Cook, shaking the pan often, until the liquid evaporates and the potatoes are crusted in a fine film of salt, about 5 minutes. The pan should be extremely dry and coated in salt and the potatoes will sound crackly when shaken.
• Flip the salmon and continue cooking until just opaque from top to bottom and a paring knife slides through with almost no resistance, about 5 minutes longer. If you started with a 1-inch-thick fillet, this will be medium-rare. The timing will vary depending on the thickness of your fish and your preferred doneness. If you'd like, use tongs to peel off and discard the skin if there is any. The glaze should have thickened and be syrupy.
• Divide the potatoes and salmon among serving plates and drizzle any glaze from the pan over the fish.

Steps:

• Remove and discard skin from fish. Cut fish into 4 serving pieces. Beat egg white and water slightly with fork in shallow disk.
• Mix potato mix, cornstarch, paprika and lemon pepper in another shallow dish. Dip just the top sides of fish into egg white mixture, then press into potato mixture.
• Spray 12-in. nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat oil in skillet over high heat. Cook fish, potato sides down, in oil 3 minutes. Carefully turn fish, using wide slotted spatula. Reduce heat to medium. Cook about 3 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with fork.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Line a 9 x 13 inch pan with foil.
• Spray with the oil.
• Place the fillets in the pan leaving equal distance between them.
• Sprinkle generously with seafood seasoning.
• Grate the 2 potatoes and cover each fillet with the potato (make sure they are covered completely on all sides).
• Spray the potatoes with the oil and again sprinkle generously with the seafood seasoning.
• Place in oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
• When potatoes are a golden, crispy brown, remove from oven and serve.
