Salmon Carpaccio With Lime And Chives Recipes

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.

WILD SALMON WITH CHIVE OIL AND LIME CRèME FRAîCHE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Lay the salmon fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Coat salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Bring to room temperature.
• Make the chive oil: Put 1 cup roughly chopped chives in a blender or food processor. With the food processor running, slowly add oil and a pinch of salt. You should have a bright-green oil. Transfer chive oil to a small bowl.
• Put crème fraîche in a small bowl. Stir in lime zest and juice. Season with a little salt.
• Bake salmon on top rack of oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until just done. When you see juices begin to rise to the surface of the fish, remove fish from oven. (It is better to err on the less-cooked side; the fish continues to cook a bit from residual heat.)
• To serve, transfer fish to individual plates or a platter. Dollop about 1 tablespoon of limey crème fraîche on each fillet. Drizzle chive oil over the top and sprinkle with chives. Garnish with blossoms and watercress sprigs.

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 WITH CHIVE MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients; set aside 1/3 cup for serving. Place salmon steaks on a broiler rack. Broil 4 in. from the heat for 9 minutes. Brush with remaining mayonnaise mixture. Turn salmon over; broil 9 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with the reserved mayonnaise mixture.
