Potato Crusted Salmon Recipes

POTATO-CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Remove and discard skin from fish. Cut fish into 4 serving pieces. Mix egg white and water with fork. Mix dry potatoes, cornstarch, paprika and lemon-pepper seasoning. Dip just the top sides of fish into egg white mixture, then press into potato mixture.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over high heat. Cook fish, potato sides down, in oil 3 minutes. Carefully turn fish, using wide slotted spatula. Reduce heat to medium. Cook about 3 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with fork.

POTATO AND HORSERADISH CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Place a rack about 4 inches from the broiler element and preheat.
• Put the potato in a medium saucepan, cover with water by 2 inches, and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, lower the heat, and simmer until very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and heat. Season the salmon all over with salt and pepper. When the butter's foaming subsides, place the salmon, in the skillet and cook, turning once, until well-browned, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet.
• Put the cooked potatoes in a small bowl with the 2 teaspoons salt, 2 tablespoons butter, half-and-half, and horseradish and, using a fork, mash until fluffy. Season with pepper, to taste.
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan. Using your hands, press about 1/4 of the potato mixture onto the top of each salmon fillet, to form a thin crust. Lightly brush the potato with the melted butter.
• Place the salmon under the broiler and cook until still slightly pinkish inside and the crusts are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to serving platter and garnish with the chive segments. Serve immediately.

POTATO CRUSTED SALMON (MICHAEL SMITH)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Grate potatoes through the large holes of a box grater into a medium sized bowl.
• Stir in horseradish, oil and salt and pepper mixing well.

POTATO CHIP CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Lay the side of salmon, skin side down, in the center of the baking sheet. Season it lightly with salt and pepper.
• Crush the potato chips, lime zest and dill together in a bowl until the chips resemble coarse crumbs. Mix in 2 tablespoons of oil until incorporated.
• Coat the salmon with a thin, even layer of potato chip crumbs. Pat them on the fish gently so they stay put.
• Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chip coating is nicely browned. Use 2 spatulas to transfer the salmon to a serving platter, putting one at either end and lifting them up together so the salmon is in one piece. Lay it gently on the serving platter and put a fork and a knife on the table by the platter so that people can serve themselves. You can also serve the salmon right on the baking sheet-there's no shame in that, either.

ROASTED SALMON WITH POTATO CRUST

Steps:

• Heat oven to 475 degrees. Scrub potatoes. If using a food processor for grating, cut them into chunks that will fit through the feed tube. Line a colander with paper towels. Shred the potatoes in a food processor with a grating disk or by hand with a box grater. Put the potatoes in the colander and squeeze out as much moisture as you can. Put the salmon in a baking dish or rimmed baking sheet, skin side down. Spread the potatoes over the top of the fish, pressing them down and covering the fish in a thin, even layer. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until the salmon is cooked through and the potatoes are crisp, about 10 minutes. Chop a few tablespoons of chives. If the salmon cooks through before the potatoes are as crisp as you want, put the pan under the broiler until the potatoes are done to your liking. Garnish with the chives and serve.
