Salmon Eggs And Grits Food

SALMON CROQUETTES

Steps:

• Drain the salmon well and place in a large mixing bowl.
• Lightly beat the eggs in a separate bowl.
• To the bowl with the salmon, add the bell pepper, onion, Greek yogurt Worcestershire, kosher salt, pepper, celery salt, hot sauce, parsley, and beaten eggs.
• With a fork, mix until evenly combined.
• Place the cornmeal in a shallow dish (a pie plate works well). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and place it near the cornmeal.
• Shape the salmon mixture into 8 patties, then lightly coat both sides of each in the cornmeal. To shape the patties, squeeze lightly with your hands discarding a little bit of liquid that may come out of the patties. Press them together gently but with enough force so that they hold together. The patties will feel loose, wet, and delicate; be patient and do your best, they'll cook up fine! Place the patties on the baking sheet as you go.
• Cover the pan with plastic and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 day.
• While the patties chill, prepare the dipping sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon, salt, hot sauce, and herbs. Refrigerate if you won't be serving within 30 minutes.
• To cook the patties, heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, swirl the pan, then gently place the first batch of patties in the skillet so that they are not touching (I can fit 4 at a time in my skillet, but you may need to cook additional batches if your skillet isn't large enough). Cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until the outsides are crisp and golden and the interiors are cooked through. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, swirl, then repeat with remaining patties. If at any point the croquettes begin to stick, add more oil as needed. If desired, keep the croquettes warm in a 250 degree F oven between batches. Enjoy hot with dipping sauce.

GRILLED SALMON WITH GRITS AND FRESH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a pot, bring the broth to a simmer and whisk in the grits. Rest the grits for 5 minutes to open, bloom and thicken. Add more grits if the consistency is too thin and add up to 1 teaspoon salt. Whisk in the cream cheese and keep the grits warm until ready to serve.
• Heat a flat top or pan over high heat. Remove the skin from the salmon, and then dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper, and then a little oil. Sear the salmon. When crispy on the bottom, flip the salmon. (The cooking surface must be hot or the salmon will stick.) Avoid moving the salmon around while it cooks, to create a crisp texture.
• In another hot pan add some oil, the onions and garlic, and saute. Add the blanched asparagus and tomatoes last to prevent over-cooking. Season with salt and pepper.
• On a serving plate, add a scoop of the grits and place the sauteed vegetable on top. Place the salmon on top of the vegetables. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the top, then serve.

SOUTHERN GRITS AND EGGS

Steps:

• Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the grits, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the cheese and season with salt and black pepper; cover to keep warm.
• Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the okra, scallion whites, bell pepper, cayenne, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to taste; cook, stirring, until the vegetables start to soften, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Carefully slide the eggs on top of the okra mixture, keeping the yolks intact. Reduce the heat to medium; cover and cook, rotating the skillet occasionally, until the eggs are just set, about 6 minutes.
• Serve the grits with the vegetables and eggs. Top with the scallion greens.

SALMON AND EGGS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, half and half, and salt, by using a fork or whisk. Beat until well blended, 30-60 seconds.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium to medium high heat, and add the ghee or butter.
• Add the beaten eggs and use a flat spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan as it cooks, in order to form large curds. This should take 1-2 minutes. When the egg is almost completely cooked, add the chunks of salmon, and keep cooking for another minute, until the egg is cooked and the salmon is warm.
• Gently fold in the chives, and grind black pepper on top, to taste. Serve right away, and enjoy!

SALMON WITH GRITS AND CAPER-CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add capers and garlic and sauté until garlic begins to color, about 1 minute. Add white wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add whipping cream and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until sauce thickens enough to coat back of spoon, about 10 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before using.)
• Bring half and half, 1/2 cup water, and salt to boil in heavy large saucepan. Gradually whisk in instant grits. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until mixture thickens, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Add Monterey Jack cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Season grits to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. Cover to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, brush salmon with oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon and cook until opaque in center, about 4 minutes per side.
• Place spoonful of grits in center of each of 4 shallow bowls. Spoon sauce around grits. Top grits and sauce with salmon and serve.

SALMON SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• In a bowl, beat eggs, milk salt and pepper. Stir in salmon, cheese and parsley. In a greased skillet, cook and stir gently over medium heat until eggs are set, about 3-5 minutes.
