Scallopine Of Columbia River Salmon With Wild Mushroom Ragout And Potato Croquettes Recipes

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine potatoes and enough cold water to fully submerge them. Bring to a boil. Season with 2 teaspoons kosher salt and boil until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain; let potatoes cool 5 minutes, then press through a ricer or colander and stir until smooth (or mash until smooth). Transfer to a large bowl; let cool completely.
• Stir egg yolks, scallions, lemon zest and juice, flour, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper into mashed potatoes. Fold in salmon. Form mixture into golf-ball-size rounds, then flatten into 1/2-inch-thick disks. Transfer to a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours or, loosely covered, up to 1 day.
• Whisk whole eggs in a shallow bowl and season with kosher salt and pepper. Place panko in another shallow bowl and season. Pour a scant 1/2 inch oil into a medium heavy-bottomed skillet, such as cast iron. Heat over medium until oil shimmers and bubbles form instantly around a breadcrumb dropped in (350°F on a deep-fry thermometer). Working in batches, dip croquettes in egg, allowing excess to drip back into bowl, then coat in panko, pressing to adhere.
• Fry, flipping once and adjusting heat as needed to maintain a level temperature, until crisp and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet, then sprinkle with flaky salt; keep warm in a preheated 200°F oven while frying the rest. Serve warm, with dipping sauces.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300ºF. Cover a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil the foil. Place the salmon on top. Season with salt and pepper. Fill a roasting pan with boiling water and place it on the oven floor.
• Place the salmon in the oven and bake until the fish flakes and white bubbles of protein appear on the surface, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the fillets. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, cook the mushrooms. Heat a large, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. When the oil is hot (you can feel the heat when you hold your hand above the pan), add the mushrooms and cook, stirring or tossing in the pan, for a few minutes, until they begin to soften and sweat. Add the remaining oil, turn the heat to medium, and add the shallots, garlic, and herbs. Stir together, add 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and cook, stirring often, for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the shallots and garlic have softened and the mixture is fragrant. Add the wine and cook, stirring often and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the wine has just about evaporated. Taste and adjust seasonings. Remove from the heat.
• Serve the salmon with a spoonful of mushrooms on top or on the side.

Steps:

• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté 2 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high. Add mushrooms; sauté until beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Add clam juice and wine; boil until liquids are syrupy and almost evaporated, about 20 minutes. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm over medium heat, stirring frequently.) Add cream to mushrooms; boil until thickened, about 1 minute. Mix in chopped tarragon. Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat broiler. Arrange salmon skin side down on broiler pan. Brush with lemon juice, then butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil until just cooked through, without turning, about 6 minutes. Transfer to plates. Spoon mushrooms over. Garnish with tarragon.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until fork tender, about 10 minutes. Drain in a colander.
• Return the potatoes to the saucepan. Add 4 ounces (1 stick) of the butter, the cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. With the heat on medium-low, mash and stir the mixture until well blended, about 4 to 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning, to taste, and cover to keep warm.
• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fiddlehead ferns and blanch until just tender, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and shock in an ice bath. Drain on paper towels. Add the ramps to the boiling water and blanch until just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and shock in an ice bath. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large saute pan over a medium-high heat. Add the morels and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the shallots and garlic. Season with the salt and pepper, and cook until the mushroom liquid has been released, about 4 minutes. Add the stock, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally until the volume is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the crawfish tails and stir well to mix. Lower the heat to medium-low, and gradually add 6 ounces (1 1/2 sticks) of butter several pieces at a time, stirring constantly to incorporate. Add the fiddlehead ferns and toss until they are heated through. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
• Season the salmon on both sides with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper per fillet. In a large skillet or 2 smaller skillets, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove from the heat.
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook until golden brown and some of the fat is rendered. Add the shallots and saute for 1 minute. Add the ramps, and salt and pepper to taste, and cook, stirring, until tender yet still firm, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Divide the morel ragout among 6 dinner plates. Place a dollop of mashed potatoes in the middle of the plate and top with a salmon fillet. Spoon the ramps on top of the fish and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mix sugar, salt, water, and anise flavored liqueur. Pour over salmon halves in a 3-inch deep pan. Marinate, chilled, in the brine mixture for 4 to 8 hours. Remove from brine and pat dry. Brush the salmon with oil. Season with wild fennel pollen, salt, and pepper. Place on Alder plank and soak in cold water overnight. Sometimes a nail through the tail end is used to hold the salmon in place. Lean the plank against an Alder wood fire that has mostly died down to very hot coals. Be careful not to let the plank catch fire. The heat and the smoke from the fire will cook and season the salmon. Serve right off the plank.

Steps:

• Mix the salmon, eggs, mashed potatoes, onion and garlic in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the flour to hold the mixture together.
• Form the mixture into golf-ball-size balls. Refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.
• Heat about 1 inch of peanut oil in a large straight-sided skillet until a deep-fry thermometer registers 325 degrees. Fry the croquettes, in batches, until crisp and golden on one side, 3 to 4 minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary. Turn and cook until golden on the other side, 1 to 2 more minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Whisk together chicken broth, mustard, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and cornstarch; set aside.

• Melt remaining margarine in frypan over medium high heat.
• Add pork and cook, 2 to 3 minutes each side, until just a hint of pink remains inside.
• Remove from pan and set aside with mushrooms.
• Stir broth mixture then add to pan, stirring until mixture boils and thickens slightly, 30 to 60 seconds.
• Remove from heat and stir in sour cream.
• Return mushrooms and pork to frypan, turning to coat with sauce.

Steps:

• In a small bowl soak the dried mushrooms in the Madeira for at least one hour until softened. Lift out the mushrooms; strain the soaking liquid through a fine sieve lined with a double layer of cheesecloth into a bowl and set aside. Rinse the mushrooms in water several times, lifting them out of the water each time to remove any sand. Slice and set aside.
• Holding a sharp knife at a 45-degree angle slice the salmon across the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices. Chill the slices on a platter, covered.
• In a large skillet cook the onion in 6 tablespoons of the butter, covered, over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the fresh mushrooms and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes or until the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated.
