Steamed Salmon With Mushrooms And Leeks Recipes

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.

STEAMED SALMON WITH MUSHROOMS AND LEEKS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil at medium heat. Add mushrooms, leeks and pepper and cook about 8 minutes or until veggies have soften. Put the salmon pieces on the veggies in the skillet.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil and garlic. Spread the mixture on the salmon. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes or until the flesh is easy to flake with a fork. Sprinkle with green onion. Serve with quarters of lemon.

STEAMED SALMON WITH PEAS AND LEEKS

Steps:

• Run fingers lightly over salmon fillets to check for bones.
• Saute shallots in peanut oil over medium-low heat until lightly cooked, then set aside to cool. Add 1 tablespoon each of chopped parsley and mint. Rub this mixture over the salmon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. This may be done ahead of time. Refrigerate salmon until ready to continue.
• Place 3/4 cup of fish stock in the bottom of a steamer, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Place fish on rack; cover and steam until fish is cooked through. Cooking time will depend on thickness of fillets: plan on 9 minutes per inch of thickness. When fish is done, remove from steamer, and place each fillet on a warm plate. Set aside in a warm place while finishing the recipe.
• While salmon is steaming, coarsely chop eggs and set aside.
• In a small saucepan, combine remaining 1/4 cup of fish stock with stock from steamer, bring to a simmer, and cook julienned vegetables for 3 minutes. Add peas and cook 1 minute more.
• Remove vegetables with a slotted spoon, leaving juices in pan, and arrange around each salmon fillet.
• Place the saucepan with the juices over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and reduce to approximately 2 tablespoons. Over low heat, whisk in butter, a tablespoon at a time. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Add remaining mint and parsley.
• Garnish the fish with chopped eggs, and spoon the butter sauce over the fish and vegetables. Serve with small buttered new potatoes, if desired.

STEAMED SALMON WITH PEPPERS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in ZipnSteam Bag (do not use regular plastic bag -- I don't know what will happen, but it probably won't be pretty!) Shake bag to coat fish and peppers. Microwave on high for 4 1/2 -5 minutes. If fish is not quite done, continue cooking for additional 30 second intervals until fish flakes easily.
