SALMON WITH TANGERINE-LEMON HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine tangerine and lemon juices in a bowl. Whisk egg yolks and water in a heatproof bowl, and place over a pan of simmering water. Whisk until mixture foams and begins to thicken, 1 minute. Add half the citrus juice. Cook, whisking, until thickened slightly.
• Puree yolk mixture, remaining citrus juice, the zest, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the cayenne in a blender. Reduce speed to low, and add butter in a slow, steady stream. Set sauce aside.
• Cut salmon in half lengthwise, and then cut each half crosswise into 3 pieces (about 2 inches wide). Gently pound between parchment so that all pieces are about 1/4 inch thick. (Salmon can be covered and refrigerated 3 hours).
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season skinned side of salmon with salt and white pepper. Working in batches if needed, cook for 30 seconds. Flip and cook to the desired doneness, about 30 seconds for medium-rare. Place on a platter. Spoon sauce on top; garnish with citrus rounds. Serve remaining sauce on the side.

POACHED SALMON WITH HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Find a high-sided pan large enough to accommodate both salmon fillets side-by-side, without too much excess room; a small skillet or medium-sized saucepan should do. Pour lemon juice and olive oil into the pan, along with enough water to bring the water level up to 3/4-inch. Season the water to taste with salt and pepper, then add the salmon. Pour in enough water to just cover the salmon.
• Place the salmon over medium-high heat, and heat until the water is hot and steaming, but not simmering (165 degrees F (75 degrees C)); reduce heat if needed to keep the water at the proper temperature. Poach until the salmon turns opaque, and is firm to the touch; or to an internal temperature of 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Proceed making the Hollandaise sauce while the salmon is poaching.
• Pour a few inches of water into a saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat, then turn heat to medium-high and maintain water at a gentle boil. Place the egg yolks in a metal bowl, and whisk in hot water. Place the bowl over, but not touching, the boiling water. Whisk constantly until the yolks thicken, turn a light, opaque yellow, and double in volume. You may need to remove the bowl from the boiling water from time to time in order to keep from scrambling the yolks.
• When the yolks have thickened and increased in volume, begin whisking in the butter, a cube at a time until it melts and incorporates into the hollandaise sauce. Wait for each cube to melt and incorporate before adding the next. Once all of the butter has been incorporated, remove from heat, whisk in the lemon juice, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• To serve, drain the poached salmon and place each piece onto a dinner plate. Generously ladle with the warm hollandaise sauce, and sprinkle with chives.

OCEAN TROUT/SALMON WITH LIME AND LEMON GRASS HOLLANDAISE

Steps:

• Combine lemon grass, shredded lime leaves, rind and juice in a saucepan, bring to the boil, reduce heat simmer, uncovered, until liquid is reduced to 1 Tablespoon.
• Strain through a fine sieve into a medium heatproof bowl, cool 10 Min's, discard solids.
• Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water, do not allow water to touch the base of the bowl, add egg yolk to juice mixture, whisk over heat until thickened.
• Remove bowl from heat, gradually add melted butter in a thin, steady stream, whisking constantly until sauce has thickened. (If sauce is too thick a tablespoon of hot water can be added.) stir in finely chopped kaffir lime leaves.
• Meanwhile, cook the fish on a heated oiled grill or fry pan until cooked as desired, serve with hollandaise. I prefer to cook my fish skin side down first and really get a nice crisp skin on it.
