Fresh Salmon Carpaccio Recipes

FRESH SALMON CARPACCIO

Steps:

• Rinse and dry the salmon, then wrap in cling film and freeze for 1 hr to make slicing easier. Meanwhile, finely grate the zest from one lemon and squeeze the juice from both. Mix in a bowl with the dill, shallots, sugar and 1 tsp sea salt. Add the olive oil and whisk to amalgamate.
• Unwrap the salmon and set on a large chopping board. Cut wafer-thin slices on the diagonal, as you would smoked salmon. Arrange a layer of the salmon over a large shallow dish, then spoon over a little of the marinade - spreading it to evenly coat the fish. Continue slicing and layering, finishing with a layer of marinade. Cover with cling film, directly over the fish, and chill for at least 2 hrs or overnight.
• To serve, arrange the salmon slices over a platter and scatter over the capers and some salad leaves. Serve with thinly sliced brown bread or soda bread.

FRESH SALMON TARTARE

Steps:

• Cut the fresh salmon and the smoked salmon in 1/4-inch dice. Place the salmon in a mixing bowl and add the lime juice, shallots, olive oil, dill, capers, two mustards, salt, and pepper. Mix well, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a few hours for the salmon to marinate.
• When ready to serve, toast the bread and taste the salmon for seasonings. Serve the tartare with triangles of the toast.

SMOKED SALMON AND FRISEE CARPACCIO

Steps:

• For the dressing: In a food processor, combine the apple, vinegar, lemon juice, maple syrup, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
• Place the lettuce, avocado, and walnuts in a large bowl. Add 3/4 of the dressing and toss until all the ingredients are coated. Arrange in a single layer on a platter and top with the smoked salmon. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and serve.
• Cook's Note: To toast the walnuts, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 6 to 8 minutes until lightly toasted. Cool completely before using.

FRESH SALMON CROQUETTES

Steps:

• Combine salmon, 1/8 cup mayonnaise, bread crumbs, green onion, egg white, lemon juice, and Cajun seasoning in a bowl. Mix well and shape mixture into 1/2-inch thick patties.
• Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add patties and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Combine 1 tablespoon mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together in a bowl. Serve sauce with croquettes.

SALMON CARPACCIO WITH LIME AND CHIVES

Steps:

• With a very sharp knife, cut the salmon into thin slices. Divide them among eight plates, without overlapping them.
• Combine the lime, olive oil and chives. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Spoon the dressing evenly over the salmon slices. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• About five minutes before serving, remove the salmon from the refrigerator. Put two strips of chives in a V shape onto each plate and serve.

SALMON CROQUETTES WITH FRESH SALMON

Steps:

• Finely chop the salmon using a food processor.
• Transfer salmon to a bowl with baking mix, onion, bell pepper, parsley, egg, garlic, Worcestershire, seasoned salt, and seafood seasoning. Mix until the ingredients are well blended.
• Form the mixture into 8 small patties, and place onto a plate lined with waxed paper. If you are struggling to form the patties due to the mixture being sticky, rinse your hands after forming every few patties, as the mixture is easier to work with while your hands are clean. Refrigerate the patties for 30 minutes.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the cornmeal into a shallow dish and dredge each patty in the cornmeal, pressing lightly so that the cornmeal adheres to both sides of the patties.
• Working in batches, cook the patties in the oil until golden and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
