Salmon Capriccio 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.

SALMON CAPRICCIO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Toss the cauliflower and potatoes with 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil and some salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast until tender and browned, 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel to remove moisture and prevent sticking to the pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the fillet and sear for 2 minutes. Flip, add 1 tablespoon of the butter and then remove from the heat. Baste the salmon with the melted butter. Set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil in a second pan over medium-high heat. Add the roasted cauliflower and potatoes; saute for 2 minutes. Deglaze with the white wine, then add the saffron, capers, parsley, chicken stock, lemon juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Reduce down for 1 minute to make the sauce.
• Lay the cauliflower and potatoes on the plate, top with the salmon and the sauce.

SALMON 'CARPACCIO' WITH WARM MAITAKE-THAI BASIL SALAD

Steps:

• Lay each piece of salmon on a sheet of plastic wrap, about 1 0 by 16 inches. Fold sheet in half and pound flat with a mallet or saute pan. Open sheet and lay carpaccio on individual salad plates. Wrap tightly and keep in the refrigerator. In a saute pan coated lightly with olive oil, saute the shallots for 1 minute then add the maitakes. Season and cook for 1 minute. Meanwhile, whisk together the ponzu, Dijon and olive oil. Season and check for flavor. Pull the pan off of the heat and add basil and a tablespoon of the vinaigrette. Check for seasoning.
• PLATING: Remove salmon from the refrigerator 5 minutes before serving and season with fleur de sel and black pepper. Place warm maitakes on top of the salmon and drizzle with vinaigrette.

SALMON CARPACCIO

Steps:

• To make salmon carpaccio, trim the salmon of any darker, oily parts and cut widthways into 4 pieces. Slice each piece of salmon from the top, nearly in two, like a butterfly. Place a sheet of plastic wrap on a heavy cutting board, brush with a touch of olive oil. Place salmon on board, brush with a little oil, cover with another sheet of plastic wrap and, using a wooden mallet or heavy pan, gently pound each piece of salmon until you have a large circular piece. Put the salmon aside on a plate. Repeat with the remainder of the salmon pieces. To make squid ink noodles, marinate the noodles, diced fennel and celery in the lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Allow to marinate for 10 ? 15 minutes. Reserve. To serve lay the salmon on a serving plate. Dress the noodles nicely in the centre. Place some yabbies around the noodle stack. Garnish with the fennel tips, baby celery leaves, cracked pepper and salt. Drizzle with the leftover marinade from the noodles.
