Salmon Croquettes With Yogurt Dill Sauce Recipes

ROASTED SALMON WITH YOGURT DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the yogurt sauce in advance and store in the refrigerator or prepare it while the fish is in the oven.
• Mix the yogurt, lemon juice, dill and chives. For the garlic, I like to smash it lightly and add it to the sauce and then remove it before serving. This will give a mild garlic flavor to the sauce, but won't be too overpowering. You can also mince the garlic, or grate it on a microplane, if you want to have a stronger garlic flavor. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Minced capers are a great addition to this sauce too.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a rimmed baking sheet into the oven to heat up.
• Meanwhile, season each salmon fillet with salt and pepper and rub each fillet with oil all over.
• When the oven has preheated to 500 degrees and the baking sheet has been in the oven for about 10 minutes, take out the baking sheet and place the salmon, skin side down, onto the searingly hot baking sheet. You will hear it sizzle and the skin will start to sear right away.
• Place the fish in the preheated oven. Reduce the heat to 250 degrees and roast the fish for 12 - 15 minutes.
• Serve the salmon with the yogurt sauce.

SALMON CROQUETTES WITH YOGURT-DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine 2 cups water and white wine in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, add salmon skin side down and reduce to simmer. Cook salmon in liquid until medium-well doneness, about 10 minutes. Let cool, then gently remove skin from cooked salmon.
• In a medium bowl, combine salmon with breadcrumbs, eggs, chives, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Cover bowl and chill for 30 minutes.
• Using a 1/2-cup measuring cup, shape salmon mixture into six patties. Place patties on small sheet tray covered with parchment paper. Chill for an additional 15 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, dill, remaining salt, and remaining pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Heat a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and swirl pan to coat. Add salmon patties to skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove patties from skillet, let cool slightly. Serve with Greek yogurt sauce and a lemon wedge.

I.C. SALMON WITH DILL-YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the salmon on a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet. Rub the fillets with 2 teaspoons of the salt, then refrigerate for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, set your immersion circulator bath for 124 degrees F (51 degrees C).
• Pat the salmon dry with paper towels, then divide between two gallon-size vacuum-seal or high-quality freezer zip-top bags. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of the olive oil to each bag, then gently rub the fish to coat. Use a peeler to harvest eight strips of lemon peel and place two strips, pith-side up, on top of each fillet. Halve and juice the lemon; set the juice aside to use in the sauce. If using vacuum-seal bags, use the "gentle" or "moist" setting to seal the bags.
• Transfer the fillet bags to the water bath. If using zip-top bags, let the salmon sink, forcing the air out of the bag via displacement. Right before the mouth of the bag goes into the water, seal the bag. Leave the salmon to cook for 45 minutes. (If one of the bags floats, carefully reopen and try the sink-and-seal method again.)
• While the salmon cooks, make the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, dill, mustard, horseradish, and pepper. Stir in the remaining teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice. Stir well, then season to taste with additional salt, pepper, and lemon juice, if desired. Set aside until ready to serve.
• When the salmon is finished, remove it from the water bath. Open the bags and very carefully remove the fish to a paper towel-lined sheet pan. Pat the fish as dry as possible with additional paper towels. Brush the skin side lightly with some of the neutral oil.
• Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat for 3 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons of the neutral oil and swirl the pan to coat. When the oil starts to smoke, add two of the salmon fillets, skin-side down. Brush the flesh side lightly with additional oil. Cook until the skin is browned and crisp, about 1 minute. Carefully flip with a narrow metal spatula or "fish turner" and cook on the second side just until just brown, about 30 seconds. Carefully transfer to a serving platter and repeat with the remaining oil and fillets. Serve with the dill-yogurt sauce.

SALMON PATTIES WITH DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix salmon, breadcrumbs, onion, Dijon mustard, egg, and lemon juice together in a bowl; form into 2 patties.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties in the hot oil until lightly browned and cooked through, 4 minutes per side; season with sea salt and black pepper.
• Mix sour cream, dill, garlic powder, and sea salt together in a bowl; serve alongside salmon patties.

SALMON CROQUETTES WITH DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the dill sauce, whisk together the yogurt, mustard, and dill in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Drain the salmon, and then remove and discard the bones and skin. Mix the salmon, celery, onion, eggs, salt, and pepper in a good-size bowl. Form the mixture into 8 patties. Slick a medium skillet with the olive oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Cook the patties until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
• Put a dollop of the dill sauce on top of each patty and serve.
