Salmon Fillets With Sorrel Sauce Recipes

LEMON SOLE WITH SORREL SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Lay fish, skin-side-down, in an ovenproof dish. Season, dot with butter and pour over the wine. Place fish in the oven for 10 mins until just cooked, then lift onto a warm plate.
• Working very quickly, pour the juices from the dish into a small saucepan with the crème fraîche, boil until slightly thickened, then stir through the sorrel until just wilted. Spoon over the fish before serving. Buttered new potatoes on the side are a must.

BEST EVER SALMON SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat butter, soy sauce, mustard, garlic, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until butter is melted and sauce comes to a gentle simmer, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.

SALMON FILLETS WITH SORREL SAUCE

Steps:

• Wipe the fillets dry with paper towels and sprinkle with oil and lemon juice. Preheat broiler.
• Heat the butter in a small saucepan and saute the sorrel leaves until they are limp. Add the stock and cream. Bring to boil, season, simmer until thickened slightly.
• Pure sauce in a food processor and return it to pan. Heat through.
• Broil the fillets for about five minutes on each side or until they are cooked. Arrange them on a serving platter. Serve the sauce separately.

SALMON WITH SORREL SAUCE

Steps:

• Pick over the sorrel. Discard any tough stems and blemished leaves. Rinse the leaves and pat them dry. Pack the leaves closely and cut them crosswise into very thin strips. This is called a chiffonadeThere should be about two cups or slightly more when loosely packed.
• If there are any bones in the fillets, carefully remove them with pliers. Cut the fillets on the bias into about 14 thin slices.
• Put the reserved fish skin and bones in a small saucepan. Add one tablespoon of the shallots, the wine and chopped tomatoes. Bring to the boil and let simmer five minutes. Add the cream and cook about five minutes. Strain through a fine sieve, pushing the solids with a rubber spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. There should be about one and one-quarter cups.
• Heat one tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan and add the remaining one tablespoon of shallots. Cook briefly and add the sorrel. Cook, stirring, until wilted.
• Add the cream mixture, the cubed tomato flesh, salt and pepper.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in a stick-proof skillet. Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper and place, a few pieces at a time, in one layer in the skillet. Cook one and one-half to two minutes, depending on the thickness of the slices, turning once.
• Pour the sorrel sauce into the center of a warm platter and smooth it over. As the salmon pieces are cooked, arrange them neatly, slightly overlapping, on the sauce. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.

DISHWASHER SALMON WITH SORREL SAUCE

Steps:

• Layer two 30cm x 40cm sheets of foil together. Brush the shiny side of the foil with half the oil, place 2 fillets, side-by-side on top, then fold up the outer edges. Drizzle 1 tablespoon lime juice over each fillet and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Fold and pinch the foil extra tightly to create a watertight seal around the fillets.
• To ensure that the packet is airtight, press down on it gently with your hand - if air escapes easily, rewrap. Repeat wrapping with another 2 pieces of foil, remaining oil, fish and lime juice.
• Place the fish on the top rack in the dishwasher. Set the dishwasher to the 'normal' cycle and run it without any detergent for 45 minutes, which should take it through just the wash cycle. (Different brands of dishwasher may have varying washing cycles, with differences in water temperature, so check the machine's manual, which will tell you the temperature and duration of your washing cycle. Ideally 'cook' the salmon in a water temperature of 55°C for 45 minutes.).
• Meanwhile, make the sorrel sauce. Heat butter in a frying pan over medium heat, add leek and shallot, and cook for 8 minutes or until leek is soft. Add stock and simmer for 15 minutes or until reduced by half, then set aside to cool.
• Once cooled, transfer to a blender, add sorrel, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste, then purée until smooth. Transfer to a small saucepan until ready to serve.
• Once the wash cycle is completed, stop the dishwasher before it starts the drying cycle. To be sure, it is best to set a kitchen timer for 45 minutes. Remove the salmon from the dishwasher.
• To serve, reheat the sauce over medium heat, then stir in the cream. Remove the salmon from the foil, place a fillet on each plate and spoon a generous amount of sauce over.

PECAN-CRUSTED SALMON WITH SORREL SAUCE

Steps:

• For Sauce:
• Combine sorrel, wine and shallots in heavy small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sorrel wilts, about 2 minutes. Add cream and lime juice. Boil until reduced to sauce consistency, about 12 minutes. Transfer sauce to blender. Purée until almost smooth. Return sauce to same saucepan. Season with ground white pepper and salt.
• For Fish:
• Finely grind pecans, tarragon and basil in processor. Blend in butter. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to small bowl. (Sauce and nut mixture can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and chill. Let nut mixture stand at room temperature 30 minutes before using.)
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Oil large baking sheet. Arrange salmon on prepared sheet. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Spoon equal amount of nut mixture over top of each fillet.
• Bake salmon until cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring sauce to simmer.
• Using spatula, transfer salmon to plates. Spoon sauce around fish.

PIERRE'S SALMON WITH SORREL

Steps:

• Choose the thickest center section of the fish. Using a flexible boning knife, cut apart the two fillets, and carefully remove skin.
• With pliers, pull out the tiny bones hiding in the center of the flesh. They can be found by running fingers against the grain of the fish. Divide the fillets in half horizontally to make four pieces weighing about 6 ounces each.
• Lightly oil two pieces of parchment paper with peanut oil. Lay one piece of parchment on a flat surface. Place fish on parchment. Top with second piece of parchment. With a wooden mallet or the side of a cleaver, gently flatten so each fillet is of equal thickness.
• In a medium saucepan, combine fish stock and shallots. Bring to a boil, and cook until reduced to a glaze, 10 to 15 minutes. Add wine and vermouth, and continue to cook until bright and syrupy, about 3 minutes. Add creme fraiche, and boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Pass through a fine mesh sieve into a clean pan.
• Add sorrel, and cook for 25 seconds. Remove from heat. Add butter a little at a time, swirling or stirring with a wooden spoon until completely incorporated (be sure not to break up sorrel leaves). Season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season salmon on one side (the less presentable side) with salt and pepper. Place in pan, seasoned side up. Cook 25 seconds, turn, and cook 15 seconds more. The salmon must be undercooked to preserve its tenderness (it will continue to cook in the finished sauce).
• Distribute sauce among four large plates. Place salmon, seasoned side down, on plates. Season with salt. Serve immediately.
