Seared Salmon With A Lemon Chive Beurre Blanc Recipe 435 Food

SEARED SALMON WITH A LEMON -CHIVE BEURRE BLANC RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• To prepare beurre blanc, place shallots, lemon juice, wine and peppercorns in a small skillet and stir to combine. Place over medium heat and reduce until almost dry. Strain reduced wine mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a medium saucepan. Stir in cream to cool. Heat saucepan with wine mixture over medium-low heat and add butter pieces one at a time, whisking constantly to incorporate, until all butter has been added and sauce is thickened. Is sauce begins to simmer, remove pan from heat and add another piece of butter to cool. Remove sauce from heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Stir in chives and lemon zest. Keep warm until ready to use. To prepare salmon, season fillets generously on both sides with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oils over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Sear salmon on both sides until lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes per side, flipping once with a fish spatula. To serve, place each salmon fillet on an individual serving plate. Ladle 1 to 2 ounces of the beurre blanc over each fillet. Serve immediately.

SALMON FILLETS WITH FENNEL BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• Place the salmon fillets on a board and working with a very sharp knife that's held almost parallel to the board, cut them into 12 thin slices. Divide the sea salt evenly over the slices of salmon and reserve.
• Place 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small, heavy saucepan. Melt over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and cook for 1 minute. Cut out the white bulb of the fennel and cut it into tiny dice. You need 1 cup of diced fennel; if any of the bulb is left over, save it for another use. Reserve 4 teaspoons of the frilly green leaf at the other end of the fennel. Add the cup of diced fennel to the sauce pan and stir well to coat with the butter. Add the wine and the vinegar to the sauce pan. Reduce over high heat, until just a small amount of liquid remains ( a teaspoon or so). Moving the pan on and off the heat as required, start incorporating the remaining 10 tablespoons of butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating with a broad wooden spoon. The sauce should be smooth, creamy, and medium-thick. Taste for seasoning.
• While finishing the sauce, steam the salmon slices: Place them on a buttered steamer rack and cook them over barely simmering water until just done (approximately 3-6 minutes). They should retain just a trace of red at the center. Remove and divide among 4 dinner plates stacking them on steamed fennel pieces. Pour the sauce around the fillets on each plate and garnish with the reserved fennel leaves.

SOCKEYE SALMON WITH PRESERVED LEMON BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk olive oil, 1/2 cup chives, 1/4 cup preserved lemon, and Champagne vinegar together in a bowl.
• Lay salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheets. Pour vinaigrette over the top. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until flesh flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 14 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets.
• Bring white wine and shallots to a simmer in a large saucepan. Cook until volume is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter, whisking constantly until melted. Move saucepan on and off the heat so sauce is just hot enough to melt butter, but never simmering.
• Stir 1/2 cup chives and 1/4 cup preserved lemon into the beurre blanc. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer salmon fillets to a large platter. Pour beurre blanc on top. Garnish with parsley.

HERBED SALMON ROULADES WITH LEMON BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Prepare fillet; starting at thick edge, slice fillet so that it opens like a book (be careful not to cut all the way through the opposite side). Coat inside of salmon "book" with mustard, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with herbs and zest. Slide 6 pieces of kitchen twine under fish, and roll it up. Tie twine to hold roll together. Tie 6 more pieces of twine around fish. Slice the fish into 12 individually tied rounds. Transfer slices to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until ready to cook (up to 1 day).
• In a small saucepan, boil wine, vinegar, and shallot until pan is almost dry, 20 to 25 minutes. Add cream and return to a boil. Remove pan from heat, and gradually whisk in butter until thickened and glossy. Season with salt and pour through a fine-mesh sieve.
• Roast salmon until fish flakes easily, 10 to 12 minutes. Carefully remove twine from each roulade. Drizzle with sauce.
