Roasted Salmon With Potatoes And Herbed Crème Fraîche Food

SALMON-ROE-TOPPED BAKED POTATOES WITH CRèME FRAîCHE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Rub potatoes with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and pierce twice with a fork (don't worry if some salt falls off). Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until skin is crispy and insides are tender when pierced with a fork, 60 to 70 minutes.
• When potatoes have cooled enough to handle, use a sharp knife to slice off tops. Scoop out insides, leaving about 1/4 inch around skin; transfer potato flesh to a bowl. Add crème fraîche, butter, chives, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper; mash with a fork until combined.
• Stuff potato skins with potato mixture. Return potatoes to oven and bake until heated through, about 10 minutes. Run under broiler for another 1 to 2 minutes until tops are golden brown and crisp. Serve hot, topped with salmon roe and additional crème fraîche, if desired.

ROAST SALMON & ROAST BABY POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Boil the potatoes for 10 mins until just tender, drain and steam-dry for a few mins. Toss the potatoes in the oil and butter, then tip onto a baking tray. Roast for 20 mins. Push the potatoes to one side and put the salmon on the other side, and add the lemon halves. Season. Return the tray to the oven for 15-20 mins until everything is cooked through - check the centre of the salmon with the tip of a knife.
• Cook the peas in simmering water for 2 mins, drain and tip into a bowl. Add the crème fraîche and herbs, if using. Break the salmon into chunks to serve and squeeze over the lemon. Serve the salmon with the potatoes and peas, and some extra crème fraîche on the side, if you like.

ROASTED SALMON WITH POTATOES AND HERBED CRèME FRAîCHE

Steps:

• Potatoes:
• Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and add cold water to cover by 1"; season with salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, 15-20 minutes; drain and pat dry. Let cool slightly, halve potatoes and toss with oil; season with salt.
• Salmon and assembly:
• Preheat oven to 400°. Place salmon, skin side down, on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet; rub with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt. Roast until medium-rare (mostly opaque but still slightly translucent in the center), 10-15 minutes. Break up salmon into pieces, removing skin if desired.
• Whisk crème fraîche and chopped herbs in a small bowl; season with salt.
• Spread herbed crème fraîche on plates and top with salmon, potatoes, radishes, and tarragon and dill sprigs; drizzle with oil.

OVEN BAKED SALMON WITH CREME FRAICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• Season the salmon with the salt and pepper. Place the salmon, skin side down, in a baking dish or on a high-rimmed baking sheet. Top the salmon with the lemon slices and add the wine to the dish or baking sheet.
• Bake until the salmon is cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, mix the creme fraiche, minced shallot, and dill. Spoon over each of the salmon filets and serve.

ROASTED FINGERLING POTATOES WITH CREME FRAICHE AND CAVIAR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with 1/2 cup of olive oil, rosemary, and a generous seasoning of salt and pepper. Coat a small roasting pan with the remaining olive oil and put the potatoes in the pan, cut-side down. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the potatoes are tender on the inside and golden on the outside.
• Let the potatoes cool slightly and then arrange on a serving platter. Serve the potatoes with the creme fraiche, caviar, and chives for self-service hors d'oeurves. This goes great with champagne. If you wish, spread each potato with a 1/4 teaspoon of creme fraiche and 1/2 teaspoon caviar instead of dipping.
