Salmon Platter With Caper Dressing Recipes

SALMON NICOISE WITH CAPER DRESSING

Steps:

• Whisk together zest and juice, 7 tablespoons oil, and capers; season with salt and pepper.
• In a large pot, cover potatoes with 2 inches of water; season with salt. Bring to a boil and cook until easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add beans to pot; boil until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add corn and boil 1 minute more; drain.
• Season fish with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high; swirl in remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add fish, skinside down; cook, flipping once, until skin is crisp and fish is just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Serve, with potatoes, beans, corn, cucumbers, olives, dressing, lemon wedges, salt, and pepper.

SMOKED SALMON WITH CAPERS, RED ONIONS AND LEMON FAST2EAT

Steps:

• Scald the thinly sliced onion twice. Just throw boiled water on it, drain, rinse with cold water, drain and repeat the process. Or leave the sliced onion soaked in salt ice water for at least 30 minutes. This will give it a smoother flavour and reduces their bitterness and pungency.
• Be sure to get high quality, sliced smoked salmon.
• Artfully arrange the smoked salmon slices along on a large serving platter.
• Spread the red onion slices over the smoked salmon slices.
• Scatter the capers over the top of the platter.
• If using, place a small bunch of dill at the top and sprinkle with the pepper.
• Arrange the lemon slices around the platter.
• Serve salmon platter with crackers and/or bread.

• Meanwhile, whisk together lemon juice, chopped capers, mustard, sugar, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt until sugar and salt are dissolved, then whisk in oil until emulsified.
• Toss potatoes gently with 1/4 cup dressing. Toss onion with 1/4 cup dressing in another bowl and let stand 5 minutes.
• Peel and pit avocado, then cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• Arrange potatoes, avocado, cucumber, onion, salmon, and bread on a large platter and sprinkle with whole capers. Drizzle with some dressing and serve remainder on the side.
