Smoked Salmon And Peekytoe Crab Parfait Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut halibut and salmon into appropriate weights, cover each piece with plastic wrap and pound out with flat side of a meat tenderizer, or meat mallet, to 1/4-inch thickness. In a small bowl combine crabmeat, Brie cheese, 1 tablespoon fresh chopped herbs, 1 tablespoon shallot, 1 teaspoon minced garlic and salt and pepper, to taste. Season both sides of halibut with salt, pepper and some of the fresh herbs. Lay on an individual piece of plastic wrap, twice as big as the fish piece, flesh side down. Lay salmon piece on top of halibut, directly in the middle. Season with salt and pepper. Spread 1/4th of the crab and Brie mixture in the middle of the salmon. Do this with all 4 pieces of fish. Take plastic wrap that the fish is laying on and wrap fish into a tight roll, twisting the ends to make a "tube". Refrigerate.
• Toss yams, roughly chopped garlic, thyme sprigs and olive oil in a bowl until completely coated. Season with salt and pepper. Spread evenly on a sheet pan and roast in a 350 degree F oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. While yams are roasting combine Riesling and 2 tablespoons shallots in a small saucepan. Reduce by 3/4 over medium-low heat. Whisk in butter a little at a time until completely combined. Once all the butter is beaten in, remove from heat and season with salt. When yams have about 10 minutes left to finish, take fish rolls from the refrigerator and slice each roll into 3 or 5 equal sections. Remove plastic wrap after cutting and lay shingled out on well-greased sheet pan and put into oven with yams. When yams are done, fish should be done as well. While fish and yams are cooking, heat saute pan with 1 tablespoon whole butter. Once hot, drop mushrooms into pan and saute over medium-high heat until crispy and tender. Season with 1 tablespoon shallot, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, salt and pepper, to taste. Remove yams and fish from oven. Place a 3 or 4-inch ring mold in center of plate and fill with roasted yam hash, pressing down firmly. Remove ring mold. Place mushroom mixture on top of yam cake, allowing it to spill slightly over the side. Take fish roll and shingle in front and up yam cake, creating some height with the back piece of fish. Drizzle 1-ounce Riesling butter over front edges of fish slices. Garnish with 2 chive sprigs and serve.

Steps:

• To make the dressing, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, cayenne, dry mustard, shallot, lemon juice, and parsley. Season the dressing with salt and pepper. Fold in the crabmeat and capers, turn to coat. Using a clear parfait glass or champagne glass, scoop a heaping tablespoon of the diced mangoes on the bottom of the glass. Press down slightly with a spoon. Add a layer of crabmeat on top, pressing down again, followed by a layer of chopped mixed greens. Repeat the layers. After the last layer of greens, spoon a final mound of crab salad on top. Repeat with remaining 3 glasses. Serve with toasted baguette slices.

Steps:

• Squeeze excess water out of the crabmeat and place in a bowl. Mix in the peppers, onions, cilantro, lemon juice, and mayonnaise. Season the mixture with chili powder, salt, and pepper, to taste.
• Lay the smoked salmon slices on top of a sheet of plastic wrap to form a 4 by 12-inch rectangle. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese over the salmon. Place the crabmeat mixture down the center of the rectangle in a long tube shape. Roll the salmon into a cylinder using the plastic wrap on the outside. Twist the plastic wrap at both ends of the cylinder to ensure that the salmon roulade is tight and compact. Tie both ends. Refrigerate the roulade for at least 2 hours before slicing.
• Slice into rounds and serve with Dilled Yogurt Sauce and Caper Tomato Relish.
• Mix all ingredients in a stainless steel bowl, season, to taste, and refrigerate.
• In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients gently by hand. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Mix the crabmeat with the mayonnaise and cayenne pepper. Set aside. Stir the lemon juice and oil together in a large bowl with some seasoning.
• Arrange the smoked salmon on 2 large plates. Add the endive, cherry tomatoes, avocado and shallot to the lemon dressing, toss well and pile onto the plates. Top with the crabmeat mixture, scatter over rocket leaves and serve with toast, if you like.
