Salmon With Lemon And Chive Cream Sauce Food

EASY BAKED SALMON WITH LEMON AND CHIVES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan or baking dish with parchment for easy clean-up and to prevent fish from sticking.
• Rinse salmon with cold water and pat dry with paper towel.
• Place salmon skin side down on sheet pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until flaky. You can also check the internal temperature with a thermometer (my Thermapen is my right-hand man in the kitchen). I like to cook salmon to an internal temperature of 145°F.
• Meanwhile, combine dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
• Enjoy immediately with dressing drizzled over top of salmon fillets.

SALMON WITH LEMON, CHIVE CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the clam juice, vermouth, and shallots in a small saucepan.
• Boil until liquid is reduced to 1/3 cup, about 10 minutes.
• Add cream and continue boiling until sauce coats a spoon, about 2 minutes.
• Add lemon juice.
• Strain sauce and return to saucepan.
• Add chopped chives and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Place salmon on a cutting board and, using a sharp knife, cut salmon on a deep diagonal (almost parallel to work surface) into eight scallops 1/4 to 3/8 inch thick.
• Sprinkle salmon scallops with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg.
• Melt butter in large skillet over medium high heat.
• Working in batches, add salmon to skillet and cook about 30 seconds on each side until opaque in center.
• Bring sauce to a boil and divide between four plates.
• Arrange salmon on top of sauce.
• Garnish with whole chives.

STEEPED SALMON WITH CHIVE AND DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• Fish: Place fish in a large shallow pan with a tight fitting cover.
• Add enough water to cover the fish by 1 1/2 inches, then remove the fish and set aside.
• To the water, add lemon, onion, thyme, salt and pepper, cover and bring to a full boil.
• Remove the pan from the heat, add the fillets and cover pan tightly.
• Let fish steep 3 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets, then remove the salmon to a serving platter using a slotted spatula.
• Note: for thicker fillets you will need to add the salmon to the liquid and simmer until partially cooked before removing from the heat and covering.
• Sauce: Whisk together, mayonnaise, sour cream, chives, dill, salt and Tabasco.
• To assemble: Place cucumber slices around the edge of the serving platter over lapping as you go. Spoon sauce across the center of each fillet and top with a few drops of fresh lemon juice.

CREAMY SALMON PASTA

Steps:

• Cook the pasta following pack instructions. Once it's cooked, drain, reserving some of the water, and tip it back into the pan. Add the soft cheese, lemon juice and gravadlax or smoked salmon with some pepper and mix well. Add a little of the pasta water to help form a creamy sauce, and heat through.
• Add most of the chives, stir, and divide the pasta mixture between bowls. Serve with the remaining chives scattered on top.
