WHISKEY-GLAZED SALMON WITH SALT-CRUSTED POTATOES
The savory snap of baby potatoes crusted in salt is just what you want with the subtle sweetness of this fish's glaze. The fish and the potatoes cook and come together at the same time in this fast meal. To achieve silky salmon without turning on the oven, gently cook it in a shallow pool of sauce that thickens to a syrup as it simmers. The potatoes, prepared using a technique from the Canary Islands, simply boil in generously salted water, then finish cooking with a splash of the liquid. When it evaporates, the salt that remains crusts onto the spuds. Shaking the pan vigorously helps the salt coat the potatoes evenly and sheds excess crystals. Serve with a salad or, after the glaze is scraped onto the fish, throw baby spinach into the still-hot skillet and stir to just wilt.

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.
BLACKENED SALMON WITH WHISKEY BUTTER SAUCE
This is easy, fast, and melts in your mouth. Be sure to use the freshest salmon you can find. Other blackening seasonings will work, but Emeril's really does give the best flavor. Also don't substitute Scotch or Irish whiskey; while they're great to drink, they don't give the right flavor in this dish. Lastly, and most importantly, be VERY careful when adding the alcohol to the frying pan--you don't want singed eyelashes or worse!

Steps:
- Generously sprinkle both sides of each salmon fillet with the seasoning mix (you want a good coating).
- Rub into the fillet and add more if you end up with bare spots.
- Set aside.
- With temperature on high, heat the olive oil in a saute pan large enough to hold both fillets.
- When it starts to smoke and shimmer, add the butter and swirl just until melted.
- Add the fillets and cook over high heat, 1-2 minutes per side until blackened, but not burnt (watch carefully).
- Remove from the heat; standing back from the pan, add the whiskey.
- Cover the saute pan, return to the burner over med-low, and cook for another 2-4 minutes, depending on the thickness.
- When the fish is done through, remove to a plate and keep warm.
- Bring the remaining whiskey in the pan to a simmer, add the minced shallot, and whisk in the remaining butter, one tablespoon at a time.
- Let each addition melt before adding another.
- Whisk constantly.
- Pour over salmon and serve.

SMOKED SALMON IN CREAMY WHISKEY SAUCE OVER PASTA
This makes a quick yet elegant main course, with rich flavors. The mascarpone cheese can be substituted with cream, but you will need to cook it down for a few minutes after adding to reduce and achieve the proper consistency for the sauce. DO NOT leave the pistachios out, I think they are integral to the dish !

SALMON AND WHISKEY SAUCE
Here is a great way of of getting that special taste of Scotland with salmon (or many other fish). The quantities given below are sufficient for six people. As with most cooking, it is best just to use blended whisky rather than more expensive malt. Found at www.rampantscotland.com

Steps:
- Place all the ingredients for the poaching liquid in a pan and gently poach the salmon for 7-10 minutes or until the fish is cooked. Strain and reserve the poaching liquid.
- Place the salmon on a warm serving plate, cover and keep hot.
- Make the butter sauce by whisking the egg yolks and lemon juice together. Place in a heat-proof bowl and set over a pan of hot but not boiling water on a very low heat. Whisk until the mixture begins to thicken. Stir in the butter gradually, allowing a small amount to melt at a time. If any lumps appear in the mixture, remove the bowl from the heat and add a teaspoon of cold water before placing back on the heat.
- Once all the butter has been mixed in and the sauce is to the required thickness, remove from the heat and add in the three tablespoons of whisky and the three tablespoons of poaching liquid. Pour over the salmon and serve with fresh vegetables.
