Mini Open Faced Corn Cake And Salmon Salad Sandwich With Beluga Caviar Food

SALMON CAKES SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat.
• Combine salmon, egg white, bread crumbs, crab boil seasoning, hot sauce, parsley, roasted red pepper and salt and pepper. Form 4 patties, 1-inch thick.
• Add vegetable oil to hot pan, 1 turn of the pan. Add patties and cook about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
• Combine greens, chopped orange and red onion in a salad bowl. Combine orange zest, vinegar and a splash of juice from the zested orange in a small bowl. Whisk in extra-virgin olive oil to desired bite and constituency for dressing. Dress and toss salad. Season the salad with salt and pepper, to taste then divide among 4 plates. Top salads with warm salmon cakes and serve with Ham and Rosemary Scones or warm pumpernickel bread and butter, as a close-second choice.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Mix together biscuit mix, rosemary, cream, salt, ham and orange zest. Pile mixture into 4 large mounds or 8 small mounds onto a nonstick cookie sheet. Sprinkle with a little sugar and bake. Bake scones for 10 to 12 minutes for large scones, 7 to 8 minutes for small scones.

OPEN-FACE SALMON AND AVOCADO SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Melt a thin layer of butter in a skillet over medium heat, then add the bread and toast on both sides until golden, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Combine the sour cream, preserved lemon and a few turns of pepper in a small bowl.
• To assemble, dollop the preserved lemon sour cream all over the bread, then top with slices of avocado. Season the avocado with salt. Nestle in the slices of salmon, radishes and cornichons. Top with black pepper and crushed red pepper, if using. Sprinkle with the chives or dill and sesame seeds, then serve with the lemon wedges. Enjoy!

KORN FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F in a convection oven for 350 degrees F in a standard oven.
• Mix all ingredients to form thin batter.
• Spritz the cookie sheet with the non-stick spray. Line with a sheet of parchment paper, and then spritz it again.
• With an offset spatula, spread a thin layer of batter onto the parchment. Bake until crisp and tanned, about 20 to 30 minutes (rotating the pan once, for even baking). Repeat.
• Once all the flatbread is cooked, break it into bite size pieces with your hands. Serve with osetra caviar and caviar garnishes: creme fraiche, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and chopped chives.

GRANDMA IRENE'S CORN SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat a medium skillet over a medium/high flame and melt the butter. Add the onions and sweat until limp but not browned. In a large bowl combine the corn, broken-up crackers, eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, red peppers, parsley and cooked onions and stir well to combine. Season mixture with salt and pepper and scrape into a prepared 9 by 13-inch glass or ceramic casserole that has been sprayed with no-stick. Garnish with paprika, to taste. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and continue to bake for 30 minutes more. The souffle is ready when the top is golden brown and springs back to the light touch. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes and serve immediately, or reheat in a slow, 250 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes.

SWEET CORN DOUGHNUT HOLES

Steps:

• Heat 3 to 4 inches of oil in a medium pot until the oil registers 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• Whisk the flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg together in a medium bowl. Add the buttermilk, butter, eggs, honey and vanilla and mix first with a whisk, then with a silicone spatula as the mixture combines and becomes thicker. Fold in the corn kernels if using.
• Place a generous amount of confectioners' sugar in a shallow bowl. Working in batches, drop 1 heaping tablespoon of batter into the hot oil (a small cookie scoop makes a rounder doughnut, but you can also use 2 spoons to drop in the batter). Drop in 3 to 5 doughnuts at a time, depending on the exact size of your pot. Fry until they are deeply golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove the doughnuts from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on the paper towels. While they're still hot, toss them in the confectioners' sugar to coat and transfer to a serving bowl or platter. Repeat with the remaining batter-frying, draining and dredging in confectioners' sugar-until you've fried all of the dough. Serve immediately.

MINI OPEN-FACED CORNED BEEF SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Place bread on baking sheet and toast in the oven until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.
• In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, and mustard until well combined. Spread each slice of bread with a thin layer of the mayonnaise mixture. Divide the corned beef among the bread, and top each with 2 teaspoons sauerkraut, followed by cheese slices. Transfer to oven and bake until cheese is melted and sandwiches are hot, about 10 minutes; serve warm.
