Orange Crusted Salmon With Parsnip Puree Recipes

SMASHED ROOT VEGETABLES AND CARAMELIZED LEEKS

Steps:

• Place potatoes, turnips, and parsnips in a large pot; cover with 2 inches cold water. Season water generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, and vigorously simmer until root vegetables are very tender and breaking apart, about 30 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add leeks, and cook until golden, about 15 minutes. Add root vegetables, and stir to dry out, about 2 minutes. Add milk and cream, and stir to break up vegetables. Heat until hot; season with salt and pepper.

ORANGE CRUMB SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425*F (200*C).
• LIne a baking sheet with greased foil.
• Place the samon fillets on the prepared sheet.
• Mix together the breadcrumbs, oil, orange zest, half the parsley and seasoning of salt and pepper.
• Press this mixture onto each fillet so that it sticks.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through and the topping is golden.
• Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling salted water for 12 to 15 minutes, until tender, then drain.
• Stir remaining parsley into the mayonnaise and thin with a little bit of the orange juice until it has the consistency of single cream.
• Serve the salmon with the potatoes and the herb mayonnaise.
