SALMON WITH POTATOES AND HORSERADISH-TARRAGON SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees and liberally grease a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with butter. Slice the potatoes paper-thin (less than 1/8-inch thick) and line the dish with the potatoes, slightly overlapping them as you arrange them in an even layer. Season generously with salt and pepper, dot with the shallots and bake until the potatoes are almost cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the horseradish-tarragon sauce: Add the sour cream, prepared horseradish, 2 tablespoons each tarragon and chives, white pepper (if using) and 1 teaspoon salt to a medium bowl and stir to combine. Refrigerate. (This makes about 1 1/3 cups.)
• Sprinkle the salmon with the paprika and season with salt. Remove the dish from the oven and gently place the salmon on top of the potatoes. Brush 2 to 3 tablespoons of the horseradish-tarragon sauce over the salmon to coat, then bake until the fish flakes with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet.
• Sprinkle the fish with the remaining 1 tablespoon each tarragon and chives. Serve with the remaining horseradish-tarragon sauce.

DILL-TARRAGON SALMON

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a glass baking dish by spraying with nonstick cooking spray.
• Mix together yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, tarragon, dill, mozzarella, and Parmesan in a small bowl. Place fish fillets into prepared baking dish, and spread evenly with cheese mixture.
• Bake in preheated oven until fish flakes when tested with a fork, about 15 minutes.

PAN-FRIED WILD SALMON

Steps:

• Rinse the salmon fillets and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels; season with sea salt.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Gently lay the salmon into the hot oil with the skin side facing up and cook until the the flesh side is golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes; turn and continue cooking until the skin side is slightly browned, about 5 minutes more. Remove the salmon from the skillet, allowing any oil to drain from the fish back into the pan.
• Remove the skin from the salmon fillets; fry the skin in the oil remaining in the skillet until crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve the crispy skin with the salmon.

I.C. SALMON WITH DILL-YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the salmon on a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet. Rub the fillets with 2 teaspoons of the salt, then refrigerate for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, set your immersion circulator bath for 124 degrees F (51 degrees C).
• Pat the salmon dry with paper towels, then divide between two gallon-size vacuum-seal or high-quality freezer zip-top bags. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of the olive oil to each bag, then gently rub the fish to coat. Use a peeler to harvest eight strips of lemon peel and place two strips, pith-side up, on top of each fillet. Halve and juice the lemon; set the juice aside to use in the sauce. If using vacuum-seal bags, use the "gentle" or "moist" setting to seal the bags.
• Transfer the fillet bags to the water bath. If using zip-top bags, let the salmon sink, forcing the air out of the bag via displacement. Right before the mouth of the bag goes into the water, seal the bag. Leave the salmon to cook for 45 minutes. (If one of the bags floats, carefully reopen and try the sink-and-seal method again.)
• While the salmon cooks, make the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, dill, mustard, horseradish, and pepper. Stir in the remaining teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice. Stir well, then season to taste with additional salt, pepper, and lemon juice, if desired. Set aside until ready to serve.
• When the salmon is finished, remove it from the water bath. Open the bags and very carefully remove the fish to a paper towel-lined sheet pan. Pat the fish as dry as possible with additional paper towels. Brush the skin side lightly with some of the neutral oil.
• Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat for 3 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons of the neutral oil and swirl the pan to coat. When the oil starts to smoke, add two of the salmon fillets, skin-side down. Brush the flesh side lightly with additional oil. Cook until the skin is browned and crisp, about 1 minute. Carefully flip with a narrow metal spatula or "fish turner" and cook on the second side just until just brown, about 30 seconds. Carefully transfer to a serving platter and repeat with the remaining oil and fillets. Serve with the dill-yogurt sauce.

WILD SALMON WITH TARRAGON YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Pat dry Salmon and place in a baking dish, sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with enough Tarragon vinegar to coat. Set aside. Lightly toast fennel seeds in a dry heavy bottom pan on medium heat or under the broiler. (This toasting step is optional). Pulverize the seeds in a mortal and pestle or in a spice grinder. In a mixing bowl combine yogurt, tarragon, fennel seed powder with a tablespoon of tarragon vinegar, season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside. Run your knife through the olives, roughly chop set aside. Heat a large skillet, add the butter and oil, when shimmering at salmon skin side down, sear for about three or four minutes, medium high heat. Flip and sear the other side for three or four more minutes, peel of skin if desired. Remove fish back to baking dish, tent with foil. The fat should be almost gone, just enough to cook the olives for two minutes. Add wine, deglaze the plan and let reduce to about half. Lower heat wisk in the yogurt mixture when well mixed pour over the fish and place under the broiler until desired doness. Serve, with broccole, risotto and salad.
