Salmon With Bacon And Mushrooms Recipes

BROILED SALMON FILLET WITH BACON, WILD MUSHROOMS AND OYSTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Pre-heat broiler. Season the salmon fillet well with salt and pepper. Wrap 3 of the bacon slices, evenly spaced, around the salmon filet. Place fillet on roasting pan, and place under broiler. Cook until just done (about 10 minutes).
• Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Cut the remaining two slices of bacon into small squares. Place in a heavy saute pan over high heat. Cook until medium-brown, about 2 minutes. Spill out all but 1 teaspoon of the bacon fat. Lower heat to medium-high. Add the shiitake mushrooms, stir well, and saute until mushrooms become golden-brown, about 3 minutes. Turn heat down to medium, and stir in garlic and parsley. Cook for one minute. In a bowl, combine the oyster sauce with 1/4 cup of hot water. Blend, and add to saute pan. Cook one minute over medium heat. Season well with nutmeg.
• To serve, remove the wrapped bacon from the salmon (you may discard the bacon, or use it as a garnish). Delicately slice the salmon along the natural separations, and divide among 4 plates. Top each with a quarter of the sauce, and with a flat parsley leaf for garnish.

BACON WRAPPED SALMON

Steps:

• Start by seasoning your salmon with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with lemon zest.
• Next take bacon and wrap around the salmon fillets. I did 2 pieces of bacon per piece of salmon. Depending on how large or small your salmon fillets are the bacon can be adjusted.
• In a skillet on medium-high heat you will pan sear your bacon salmon for 2-3 minutes. Then flip the fillet over and cook the other side.
• Preheat the oven and once the bacon is done searing cook in the oven broiling on high for 3-4 minutes or until the salmon reaches 145 degrees F.
• Now, you can flip the bacon salmon over half way through cooking in the oven. That will ensure a more even cook on the bacon.
• Once the bacon wrapped salmon is done, you can remove from the oven and brush with the maple syrup if you want. It will add a nice sweetness to the salmon.

SAUTEED SALMON AND BACON TOURNEDOS WITH BRUSSEL SPROUTS, HEDGEHOG MUSHROOMS AND SAUCE CHATEAUBRIAND

Steps:

• In a saucepan place the shallots and mushroom trimmings, the stems of thyme, parsley and tarragon, add the cup of wine and reduce gently until almost dry.
• In a 4-quart saucepan, reduce gently the 2 quarts of stock until lightly syrupy (about to 1 pint). Combine the reduced stock with the reduction. Let it sit for a few minutes to infuse the flavor, then strain.
• Check the salmon for bones. To form a tournedos roll the piece of salmon in to a small medallion, wrap it in bacon and tie it. You should make 2 small tournedos per portion. 1 Season the tournedos with salt and pepper. Saute them in a hot saute pan with very little olive oil starting with a high heat and lowering the heat during the cooking. Cook for about 1.5 minute per side. Remove from the pan and hold warm in a plate. Remove the butcher twine.
• In one saute pan warm up some olive oil with the garlic cloves. When the garlic starts frying, remove it and add the mushrooms. Cook them at high heat for a few seconds. Season and reserve them in a bowl. In the same saute pan gently sweat the minced shallots with olive oil until tender but not colored (use a little water if necessary) then add the sprouts, season and saute for a few seconds until cooked. Reserve in a bowl.
• Finish the sauce by reducing it in a saute pan for adjusting the consistency, adjusting the flavor with salt and pepper, and add butter and fresh herbs.
• Place the sprouts in the center of the plate. Add the mushrooms on top of the sprouts and the salmon on top of the mushrooms. Drizzle with the sauce and serve.

SALMON WITH SAUTéED MUSHROOMS, SHALLOTS AND FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300ºF. Cover a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil the foil. Place the salmon on top. Season with salt and pepper. Fill a roasting pan with boiling water and place it on the oven floor.
• Place the salmon in the oven and bake until the fish flakes and white bubbles of protein appear on the surface, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the fillets. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, cook the mushrooms. Heat a large, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. When the oil is hot (you can feel the heat when you hold your hand above the pan), add the mushrooms and cook, stirring or tossing in the pan, for a few minutes, until they begin to soften and sweat. Add the remaining oil, turn the heat to medium, and add the shallots, garlic, and herbs. Stir together, add 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and cook, stirring often, for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the shallots and garlic have softened and the mixture is fragrant. Add the wine and cook, stirring often and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the wine has just about evaporated. Taste and adjust seasonings. Remove from the heat.
• Serve the salmon with a spoonful of mushrooms on top or on the side.
