Corn Flan With Smoked Salmon Recipes

SPICY SMOKED SALMON CORNCAKES

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking soda, and salt. In a bowl whisk together egg, buttermilk, and cream cheese. Chop half of corn coarse and stir into buttermilk mixture with remaining corn, chives, peperoncini, salmon, and cornmeal mixture until just combined.
• In a large non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and, working in batches, drop batter by 1/4-cup measures into skillet. Spread batter slightly to form 3 1/2- to 4-inch cakes and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer corncakes as cooked to a heatproof platter and keep warm. Serve corncakes with sour cream, chopped red onion, and lemon slices.

SALMON AND CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan, preferably non-stick; add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally until both have softened; reserve 1 tablespoon of the onion and garlic mixture for topping; place the remaining onion and garlic in a large bowl and add the corn kernels, flour, eggs and dill; season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
• Heat a large oiled, non-stick pan over a medium heat; spoon tablespoons of the corn mixture into the pan and repeat to make 5 fritters; cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until the fritters are golden and cooked through; remove the fritters and drain them on absorbent paper and cover them to keep them warm; repeat with the remaining corn mixture.
• Combine the sour cream, capers and reserved onion and garlic in a small bowl.
• TO SERVE: divide the sour cream mixture evenly among the fritters, top with the smoked salmon and garnish with the fresh dill.

CORN FRITTERS WITH SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Trim both of the zucchini as follows: by cutting lengthwise, remove the outer 1/4-inch of flesh all around. Discard the central core. Cut the outer sections into 3/4 by 1/8-inch julienne. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the corn, onion, basil, parsley, and zucchini and toss to mix. Add the flour and toss with your hands, seperating all the ingredients to be sure they are all coated evenly with the flour. Add the salt, pepper, and sparkling water and combine well. The mixture should be airy and light, not wet; do not overmix. In a large heavy saucepan or deep-fryer, heat a generous amount of vegetable oil to 375 degrees. Gather the batter into loose, free-form fritters (about 3 inches in diameter) and fry them, 2 at a time, until they are golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. With a skimmer or kitchen tongs, gently transfer them to paper towels, drain, and place in the warm oven while you finish cooking the other fritters. Place a fritter in the center of each of 6 warmed breakfast plates and lay the salmon in a circle around the base of each. Place a few dollops of sour cream on the salmon and drizzle Basil Oil around the edges of the plates. Serve immediately.
