Salmon In Vodka Cream Sauce With Green Peppercorns Recipes

Steps:

• Boil pasta in salted water until al dente. While pasta is cooking, make the sauce. Saute shallot in olive oil in skillet. Add tomatoes (and spinach/kale if desired) and vodka and cook for 2 minutes. Add chicken broth and herbs. Add salmon and gently cook for five minutes. Stir in cream. Add cooked pasta to skillet and coat with sauce. Taste for seasonings, adding salt and pepper as desired. Serve with grated Parmesan and crusty bread.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan or wok over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add salmon and tomato and season with salt and pepper.
• Increase heat to high and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Pour in vodka, reduce heat, and simmer, until liquid is reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in cream and simmer until liquid reduced by half again, 3 to 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, add to sauce and toss to coat.
• Serve sprinkled with caviar and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Combine 4 tablespoons butter and onion in large Dutch oven. Cover and bake until onion is golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes. Stir spinach into onion and bake until just wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from oven; keep warm. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add salmon in batches and cook about 3 minutes per side for medium. Transfer to platter. Tent with foil to keep warm. Pour off excess oil from skillet. Add cream and vodka and boil until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Add green peppercorns and remaining 4 tablespoons butter and stir until butter is just melted. Mix in lime juice, season with salt and pepper. Divide spinach and onion mixture among plates. Top each with salmon fillet. Spoon sauce over. Sprinkle with snipped fresh chives.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Use a mortar and pestle (I use a coffee grinder) to grind the ppercorns together with the salt. Or you can use a rolling pin or meat mallet to crush the peppercorns.
• Press peppercorn mixture onto one side of each salmon fillet.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Place several of the salmon fillets, peppercorn side down, into the hot oil. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden. Use a spatula to turn the fillets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Place the fillets into a baking dish. Repeat until all the fillets have been sauteed. You may need to add more oil to the pan.
• Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The salmon should be medium rare in the center.
• Add the sun-dried tomatoes and oil to the skillet. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the white wine and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the butter until just melted. Pour the sauce over the fillets and serve.
