Crispy Salmon With Sweet Potatoes And Radicchio Salad Food

DINNER SALAD WITH RADICCHIO AND ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• For the spicy cashew dressing:
• Blend cashews, oil, vinegar, red pepper flakes, fish sauce, honey, garlic, and 1/3 cup warm water in a blender until very creamy, smooth, and pourable. Taste dressing and season with salt.
• Do Ahead: Dressing can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.
• For the salad:
• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 425°F. Place sweet potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with oil, and season with kosher salt; turn to coat. Arrange cut side down; roast until tender and cut sides are browned, 20-25 minutes. Let cool.
• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Carefully lower eggs into water and cook 8 minutes. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and let cool. Remove eggs from ice water, pat dry, and peel.
• Toss radicchio, fennel, and vinegar in a large bowl; season with sea salt. Drizzle 1/2 cup dressing down sides of bowl. Using your hands, fold salad, working from the bottom out toward the sides of the bowl, until evenly coated in dressing.
• Transfer salad to a platter. Tear sweet potatoes and eggs into 1 1/2" pieces and nestle into salad. Season egg yolks with sea salt. Drizzle more dressing over and top with cashews and cilantro. Serve with remaining dressing alongside.

SALMON WITH POTATO SALAD AND HORSERADISH YOGURT

Steps:

• For the potatoes and salmon:
• Preheat oven to 250°F. Place potatoes in a medium pot. Pour in water to cover and add a few generous pinches of salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and gently simmer until a paring knife easily pierces potatoes, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place salmon in a large baking dish and coat with oil. Season both sides with salt and pepper; place skin side down and sprinkle with caraway. Bake until a cake tester or thin knife blade inserted laterally through fillet meets no resistance, 25-30 minutes. (Fish should be opaque throughout and just able to flake.) While the potatoes and salmon are doing their thing, make the dressing and the horseradish yogurt.
• For the dressing:
• Whisk oil and vinegar in a bowl big enough to hold the potatoes. Whisk half of scallions and tarragon into dressing. Set remaining scallions and tarragon aside for serving.
• For the yogurt:
• Combine horseradish, vinegar, and a large pinch of salt in a small bowl; let sit 5 minutes. Whisk in yogurt and oil; season with salt and pepper.
• For the herbs and assembly:
• As soon as potatoes are done cooking, drain and add to bowl with dressing. Toss to coat and season with kosher salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium. Toss herbs and cornstarch in a fine-mesh sieve. Test oil temperature by adding an herb leaf. The oil should sizzle intensely (it may spatter) and the leaf should darken on contact. Fry herbs in batches until crisp and vibrant green, about 5 seconds per batch. Transfer to paper towels with a slotted spoon. Season lightly with kosher salt. (If you'd like to skip this step, we get it. Chop herbs instead.)
• Dress salmon with fried herbs and sea salt. Toss potatoes to redistribute dressing and top with sea salt and reserved scallions and tarragon. Serve salmon with potatoes and horseradish yogurt alongside.
