Salmon With Wilted Cabbage And Mushroom Vinaigrette Recipes

ROASTED SALMON, RED CABBAGE, AND NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss cabbage and potatoes with oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast 25 minutes. Mix together mustard, horseradish, and lemon zest; smear on salmon. Nestle in pan, and roast 15 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice over all.

SALMON ON A BED OF CREAMY CABBAGE

Steps:

• Trim the cabbage, discarding any tough outer leaves and the inner core. Slice by hand into thin slivers. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the cabbage (cook for one minute). Remove and drain well.
• In a large skillet, combine the cabbage with two tablespoons of the butter and cook over low heat for two to three minutes. Season, cover and cook until slightly wilted but still crunchy, about five minutes. Stir in five tablespoons of the cream and continue cooking until warmed through, one to two minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
• Prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan combine the shallot with a tablespoon of butter and a pinch of salt. Cook over low heat until soft and translucent, three to four minutes. Add the wine and vinegar and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by two-thirds, about two to three minutes. Remove from the heat. Gradually whisk in the remaining tablespoon of cream and five tablespoons of butter. Whisk until all the butter is incorporated and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Taste for seasoning. Transfer to the top of a double boiler set over gently simmering water. Cover loosely and keep warm over low heat.
• Prepare the salmon with a sharp knife. Score the salmon in a crisscross pattern, cutting through the skin and just slightly into the flesh. Generously season both sides of the salmon.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over moderately high heat. When hot, put the salmon fillets skin side down in the skillet. Cook without turning until the skin is very crisp, two to three minutes (cooking time will depend on the thickness of the salmon). With a wide spatula, turn the salmon over and cook it barely 30 seconds. Leave the salmon in the pan and remove it from the heat. The salmon will continue the cooking process as you dress the plates.
• Spoon the cabbage into the center of four to eight warmed dinner plates. Top with a slice of salmon, skin side up, and spoon the warm sauce around the cabbage. Garnish with the herbs and serve immediately.

WHOLE GRILLED SALMON WITH CHANTERELLES

Steps:

• Chanterelles:
• Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Add butter and oil and swirl pan until butter is melted. Add mushrooms, thyme, and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing often, until mushrooms are golden brown and tender, 5-8 minutes; set aside.
• Salmon and assembly:
• Prepare a grill for medium-low heat. Using a sharp knife, make a slit along belly of salmon, running from rib cage to tail. Turn salmon on its back and cut along both sides of backbone without piercing through skin on other side. Carefully remove backbone without tearing skin, then remove pin bones with small needle-nose pliers or tweezers. Season inside of fish with salt and pepper and stuff lemon slices, dill, thyme, and tarragon inside cavity. Tie wet kitchen twine around fish in several places to secure. Place on a rimmed baking sheet; rub skin all over with oil.
• Carefully place fish on grill grates and grill, uncovered, until flesh on bottom side is mostly opaque but still slightly translucent in the center, 12-18 minutes. Carefully turn fish and cook on the other side to the same doneness, 8-10 minutes. Transfer fish to a clean rimmed baking sheet and let rest at least 10 minutes.
• Place skillet with chanterelles directly on edge of grill to reheat while you portion the fish. Remove strings and peel back skin from salmon; discard. Break flesh of top fillet into large pieces and transfer to a platter. Discard aromatics and remove skin from bottom fillet, break up, and transfer to platter. Season with more salt and pepper and spoon warm chanterelles over.
