Smoked Salmon And Sweet Potato Hash Recipes

SMOKED SALMON AND SWEET-POTATO HASH

Steps:

• Spray six 3/4-cup ramekins with nonstick spray. Heat vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sweet potatoes, leeks, and red bell pepper and sauté 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Uncover, increase heat to medium-high and cook without stirring until potatoes are brown on bottom, about 5 minutes. Using spatula, break mixture into pieces and turn over. Cook until brown on bottom, about 3 minutes. Stir in salmon, dill, and orange peel. Season mixture with salt and pepper. Divide hash among prepared ramekins; press to compact. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Uncover and reheat in 325°F oven 15 minutes before serving.)

SALMON POTATO HASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• For the salmon: Place the salmon on a large baking sheet skin-side down. Drizzle salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place into the oven and bake for 30 minutes until flaky. Transfer to a cutting board.
• For the Hash: Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once heated add the potatoes and shallow-fry for about 8 minutes until evenly browned on all sides. Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and place onto a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a large bowl.
• Using 2 forks, flake the salmon, removing it in chunks from the skin, and fold into the potatoes.
• Remove most of the oil, leaving only a couple of tablespoons. Place over medium heat and add the sliced onions, sliced peppers and garlic and allow to caramelize. Add the green onions, thyme leaves, paprika and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. Add the potatoes back to the pan and stir to combine.
• For the eggs: Place a large saute pan with high sides over medium heat and fill with a few inches of water. Heat until just below a simmer. Add a splash of white vinegar and using a wooden spoon, stir the water in 1 direction to create a small whirlpool. Crack the eggs and add, 1 at a time, to the spinning water. Allow to poach until desired doneness. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate.
• For the hollandaise: Put the egg yolks, lemon zest, lemon juice, mustard, water, salt and pepper, to taste, into a blender. Blend together and then slowly start pouring in the melted butter with the blender running. Stop the blender when all the butter has been incorporated. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Thin the hollandaise with a little water, if it is too thick.
• Place the salmon-potato hash on serving plates or serving platter and top with the eggs. Pour hollandaise sauce over the eggs and garnish with or dill. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

DOUBLE-SALMON AND SWEET POTATO HASH WITH POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Fill large bowl with cold water. Add enough water to large pot to measure 3 inches in depth; add vinegar and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low. Crack eggs open 1 at a time over simmering water and drop in. Poach eggs until whites are set, about 4 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer eggs to bowl of cold water to stop cooking; reserve pot of vinegar water.
• Melt half of butter in each of 2 large nonstick skillets over low heat. Add half of sweet potatoes, leeks, bell pepper and thyme to each skillet; stir to coat with butter. Cover skillets; cook until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high. Uncover; cook without stirring until potatoes are golden on bottom, about 3 minutes. Using spatula, turn hash over in sections and cook without stirring until potatoes are golden on bottom, about 3 minutes longer. Fold half of fresh salmon, maple syrup and sage into hash in each skillet. Cook until salmon is just opaque in center, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Mix half of smoked salmon into hash in each skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, bring reserved vinegar water to simmer; turn off heat. Transfer eggs to hot water 1 minute to rewarm.
• Spoon hash onto plates. Remove eggs from water and place atop hash. Sprinkle with paprika and chives.

SMOKED PORK CHOPS WITH SWEET POTATO HASH

Steps:

• For the Pork Chops:.
• In a gallon container, add 1 quart warm water. Add the Kosher salt and light brown sugar. Whisk until dissolved. Add ice cubes and cold water to make 1 gallon brine.
• Place the pork rack in a large container and cover with the cold brine. Refrigerate for 15 hours.
• Soak the wood chips in water for at least 2 hours before smoking the pork.
• Remove the pork rack from the brine, rinse with cold water, and pat dry. Season lightly with ground black pepper.
• Fire up the smoker and "cold-smoke" the pork rack at about 125° for 3-4 hours, turning once. Refrigerate the smoked pork rack until thoroughly chilled. The pork should have good smoke flavor on the outside, but be nearly raw on the inside.

• For the andouille sweet potato hash:.

• In a separate pan, melt 2 Tablespoons of butter over high heat. Add the diced andouille sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until the andouille is well browned.

• For Chef Frank's Veggie Mojo seasoning:.
• Combine all ingredients.
• For the blueberry cane vinegar glaze:.
• Make blueberry compote: In a pot, add the blueberries, lemon juice, sugar, and vanilla.
• Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, just until the blueberries begin to break up and form a thick, syrup-like consistency. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• Heat the duck fat or olive oil in a pot over high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are well browned (caramelized).
• Add the reduced stock, orange zest, orange juice, 3 cups of blueberry compote, salt, and white pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Add the cane vinegar and purée the sauce with a hand mixer. Strain through a large-holed strainer (China cap).
• To serve:.
• About 1/2 cup mild olive oil.
• 8 cold-smoked pork chops.
• about 8 teaspoons Chef Paul Prudhomme's Meat Magic® seasoning.
• Andouille sweet potato hash.
• Blueberry cane vinegar glaze.
• Preheat oven to 500°. Season the pork chops lightly on all sides with the meat seasoning. Heat a large pan, or large skillets, over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops on both sides, place in oven, and cook just until done, 8-10 minutes.
