Confit Of Salmon With New Potato Crab Crush Dill Drizzle Recipes

CONFIT OF SALMON WITH NEW POTATO & CRAB CRUSH & DILL DRIZZLE

Steps:

• First, tip the potatoes into a pan of boiling water, then simmer for 15 mins or until soft. Drain and keep warm. Meanwhile, pour the olive oil into a thick-based pan or roasting tin that will fit the salmon fillets snugly. Add the garlic and thyme, gently heat the oil for a few mins to let the flavours infuse, then turn off the heat.
• About 20 mins before you want to serve, slip the salmon into the warm oil. Cook on a low heat for 8 mins (or 10 mins if you prefer your fish well cooked), then take off the heat. Leave the salmon in the oil for 5 mins, then remove and drain.
• Meanwhile, place the cooked potatoes into a mixing bowl and lightly crush with a fork. Add the herbs, butter and a drizzle of olive oil from the salmon, season and mix well, then fold through the crabmeat. To make the drizzle, whisk the dill, olive oil and lime juice together.
• On each plate, fill a cook's ring with the crushed potato mix (if you don't have a ring, spoon into a neat pile). Remove the ring and lay a salmon fillet next to it. Serve a small handful of watercress alongside, spoon around the drizzle, then serve.

• Remove pan from oven; push potatoes to sides of pan. Spread each salmon fillet with 2 teaspoons sauce and place in center of baking pan. Bake until salmon is cooked through, about 18 minutes. Meanwhile, place greens in large skillet. Toss with 2 tablespoons sauce. Stir over medium-high until wilted, about 4 minutes. Divide salmon, greens and potatoes between 2 plates. Serve, passing remaining sauce separately.

SALMON WITH NEW POTATOES AND DILL

Steps:

• Stir the cornstarch and 2 teaspoons of the cream together until smooth. Slowly stir in the remaining cream and the salt. Pour the cream mixture into the bottom of a 14-by-9-by-2-inch oval dish. Place half the dill in the cavity of the salmon. Place the salmon so that it fits against the inside edge of the dish, with the spine side facing out.
• Arrange the potatoes, cut side down, against the opposite edge of the dish. Scatter the remaining dill over the potatoes. Sprinkle pepper over the fish and potatoes. Cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap. Cook at 100 percent power in a high-power oven for 11 minutes. Prick plastic to release steam.
• Remove from oven and uncover. Cover the dish loosely with a kitchen towel for 5 minutes. Uncover and serve immediately, spooning the sauce over the fish.

SALMON WITH HONEY, MUSTARD & DILL GLAZE

Steps:

• Mix the honey, mustards, and lemon juice together. Place the salmon fillets on a lightly greased shallow baking tin. Brush with the honey glaze. Cover and leave to marinate for 15 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler to high and cook the salmon, skin side first for 7-8 minutes, turning after 5 minutes. Brush with marinade 2-3 times during cooking. Sprinkle the top with chopped dill at the end of cooking.
• Place the remaining glaze in a small pan and heat until just bubbling. Serve the salmon steaks drizzled with the remaining glaze. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve with peas, if wished.
