Swedish Mustard Sauce For Cold Poached Salmon Recipes

COLD POACHED SALMON WITH DILL MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• To poach salmon, begin by placing the small bunch of dill inside cavity of the salmon, and put salmon in a fish poacher or a large roasting pan. (If necessary remove head to fit salmon in pan.) Cover with water, and add salt, sugar, mustard seeds, peppercorns and onion. Place over high heat, and bring to a boil. Turn salmon over, and cook 10 minutes. Turn off heat, and let salmon cool in water for about an hour.
• To make sauce, whisk together the mustard and brown sugar in a small pitcher. Add sour cream and vinegar, and whisk until smooth. Mix in the chopped dill, and season with salt. Cover, and refrigerate until serving.
• To serve, remove salmon from poaching liquid and lay on large sheet of parchment or waxed paper. Remove skin from top, gently peeling it away, along with fins. Carefully lift top layer of salmon in one long fillet, removing it from backbone and transferring it to a large platter.
• Lift backbone off fish in one piece, and pick out any other visible bones. Turn fish over, and remove skin as before. Then place second fillet alongside the first on platter. Arrange leafy sprigs of dill between fillets, and drizzle sauce on top. Scatter lemon wedges around edges of plate. Pass pitcher of sauce separately.

COLD POACHED MUSSELS WITH CREAMY MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium high-sided saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, and cook, stirring, until shallots are translucent and garlic is very fragrant but not brown, about 2 minutes. Add the salt and pepper. Add mussels and wine. Cover saucepan, and cook until mussels open and are cooked through, about 8 minutes. Discard any mussels that have not opened.
• Remove mussels from saucepan. Transfer cooking liquid to a small bowl, and set aside to cool. When cool, transfer to refrigerator to chill.
• Remove mussels from shells, reserving shells for serving, if desired. Place mussels in a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and transfer to refrigerator.
• Whisk together creme fraiche, mustard, and champagne vinegar. Stir cooking liquid, and add about 4 tablespoons reserved cooking liquid and shallots to the creme fraiche mixture to make a nice thin sauce with just enough body to cling to mussels. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and more mustard if desired. Stir in half the lemon zest and chervil.
• Gently toss cold mussels in mustard sauce. Spoon a mussel and a large puddle of sauce back into reserved mussel shells. Sprinkle mussels with remaining half of zest and chervil, and serve with any remaining sauce on the side.

COLD SALMON WITH MUSTARD SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Put fish into a shallow bowl, skin down, pull out remaining bones with a pair of tweezers.
• Wash about 2/3 of the dill, then chop it finely (stalks and all). Coarsely grind peppercorns (pestle & mortar). Mix pepper, salt, sugar and sprinkle over the fish, then cover with dill.
• Now the fish has to be weighed down with something heavy so it'll absorb the seasoning properly. You could first cover the fish with cling film, put a cutting board and a few heavy stones on top, for example. Put into the fridge and leave to marinade for at least 24 h. Check every now and then for liquid at the bottom of the bowl (spoon over the fish).
• After 24 h, the fish is ready to be cut up into very thin slices: lift out of bowl, hold knife at a 45° angle (roughly) and cut the meat off the skin.
• Prepare the mustard sauce: pour the marinade/juice that has accumulated in the bowl through a sieve, then add mustard, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, some salt & pepper and the white wine vinegar. Slowly pour in the oil while stirring the sauce. Now chop the rest of the dill (without the stalks) and add it to the mixture.
• Serve with lemon wedges and white bread.
