Salmon Fillets With Potato Chip Crust Food

SALMON FILLETS IN POTATO CRUST

Steps:

• Run your fingers over the salmon and, with tweezers, remove any stray bones. Combine the lemon juice and olive oil and rub this into the salmon and season the fillets lightly with salt and pepper. Dip the salmon in the potato flakes, patting them down to make sure they stick.
• Heat the butter and oil in a non stick skillet. Saute the salmon for 2 minutes a side or until golden the insides should be a trace underdone. Serve with lemon wedges over endive salad or with buttered cucumbers in tarragon.
• An alternative way to cook these is to preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Coat with cooking spray a wire rack set over a baking pan. Set the fillets on the prepared rack and bake for 10 minutes.

POTATO AND HORSERADISH CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Place a rack about 4 inches from the broiler element and preheat.
• Put the potato in a medium saucepan, cover with water by 2 inches, and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, lower the heat, and simmer until very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and heat. Season the salmon all over with salt and pepper. When the butter's foaming subsides, place the salmon, in the skillet and cook, turning once, until well-browned, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet.
• Put the cooked potatoes in a small bowl with the 2 teaspoons salt, 2 tablespoons butter, half-and-half, and horseradish and, using a fork, mash until fluffy. Season with pepper, to taste.
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan. Using your hands, press about 1/4 of the potato mixture onto the top of each salmon fillet, to form a thin crust. Lightly brush the potato with the melted butter.
• Place the salmon under the broiler and cook until still slightly pinkish inside and the crusts are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to serving platter and garnish with the chive segments. Serve immediately.

POTATO CHIP CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Lay the side of salmon, skin side down, in the center of the baking sheet. Season it lightly with salt and pepper.
• Crush the potato chips, lime zest and dill together in a bowl until the chips resemble coarse crumbs. Mix in 2 tablespoons of oil until incorporated.
• Coat the salmon with a thin, even layer of potato chip crumbs. Pat them on the fish gently so they stay put.
• Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chip coating is nicely browned. Use 2 spatulas to transfer the salmon to a serving platter, putting one at either end and lifting them up together so the salmon is in one piece. Lay it gently on the serving platter and put a fork and a knife on the table by the platter so that people can serve themselves. You can also serve the salmon right on the baking sheet-there's no shame in that, either.

PANKO-CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• In a small bowl, mix together the panko, parsley, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil and stir until the crumbs are evenly coated. Set aside.
• Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, on a board. Generously brush the top of the fillets with mustard and then sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Press the panko mixture thickly on top of the mustard on each salmon fillet. The mustard will help the panko adhere.
• Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or large heavy, ovenproof pan. When the oil is very hot, add the salmon fillets, skin side down, and sear for 3 to 4 minutes, without turning, to brown the skin.
• Transfer the pan to the hot oven for 5 to 7 minutes until the salmon is almost cooked and the panko is browned. Remove from the oven, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve the salmon hot or at room temperature with lemon wedges.

POTATO CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• For the Salmon breading:
• Place 2 cups shredded potatoes into a shallow pan. Using a rubber spatula spread 1/8 cup of salmon glue evenly onto one side of a 6 ounces salmon filet. Place coated side of salmon filet into shredded potatoes. Repeat process for opposite side. Ensure that salmon is evenly coated in shredded potatoes.
• For the Lemon butter sauce:
• In a saute pan add white wine, lemon juice, cream, garlic, turmeric, salt and pepper. Heat on high heat and reduce by 1/2 its original volume. Remove from heat and swirl in diced butter.
• Plating procedure:
• Place potato crusted salmon onto griddle over medium high heat. Allow to cook on one side until potatoes are golden brown. Flip salmon and complete cooking and browning of salmon. Approximately 3 1/2 to 4 minutes for each side. Place 2 ounces garlic mashed potatoes onto the center of a dinner plate, ladle sauce around mashed potatoes, and place vegetables atop mashed potatoes. Place browned salmon atop vegetables. Garnish with julienne green onions.
