Smoked Salmon Capers Red Onion Recipes

SMOKED SALMON, CAPER AND RED ONION PIZZA WITH ROCKET

Steps:

• Pour the water into a large, warmed bowl. Stir in the sugar, then sprinkle over the yeast and stir gently. Cover and leave for 12-15 minutes in a warm place until it looks frothy like a milkshake.
• Add the flour and salt. Knead until it forms a sticky, soft dough that springs back to the touch - I use a dough hook in my mixer, but by hand it may take 10-15 minutes on a well- floured bench. Oil the bowl, then return the dough to it. Cover with a plastic shopping bag and leave in a warm place to double in size - 45 minutes to an hour. Use this time to prepare your toppings/fillings.
• Once doubled in size, gently knock back, then split in two (or more if you want smaller pizzas). Roll out and transfer to pizza trays, ready for toppings.
• Preheat oven to 250°C. Place a tray in the oven to heat up.
• In a small saucepan, simmer the olive oil, tomatoes, greens and dill for 10 minutes or until thickened a bit. Cool for 5 minutes, then spoon over the pizza bases, leaving a 1cm rim free from toppings.
• Sprinkle over the cheese and red onion. Cook for 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the rim is golden and puffed. Remove from oven and add the smoked salmon. Dab on the sour cream and scatter the chives, capers, spring onions and rocket. Season with salt and serve.

PASTA WITH SMOKED SALMON AND CAPERS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, but not browned. Add the smoked salmon and continue cooking just until the salmon turns opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the cream and add the capers. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Be careful how much salt you add because the smoked salmon and capers are both salty. Add the pasta and toss to coat. If there doesn't appear to be enough sauce, add a couple of tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to thin it down. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

RYE TOASTS WITH SMOKED SALMON, CUCUMBER, AND RED ONION

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Toast bread slices in oven on a baking sheet, turning once, until golden, about 10 minutes.
• Spread 2 teaspoons cream cheese on each toast. Divide cucumber, salmon, onions, and capers among toasts; season with pepper. Squeeze lemon juice on top.

SMOKED SALMON & WATERCRESS SALAD WITH RED ONION-CAPER VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Mix lemon juice, vinegar, mustard and a big pinch of salt and pepper to taste in a 1-quart Pyrex measuring cup. Add capers and onion; toss to coat. Slowly add oil, pushing onion aside and beating with a small whisk or fork to form a thick dressing.
• Mix watercress and half the salmon in a large bowl. When ready to serve, pour dressing over watercress and salmon; toss to coat. Arrange on salad plates, garnishing each with remaining smoked salmon.

CREPES WITH SMOKED SALMON, RICOTTA, RED ONION AND CAPERS WITH LEMON CREME FRAICHE

Steps:

• For the crepes: Combine the milk, flour, sugar, salt, eggs and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a blender and blend until smooth, about 20 seconds. Let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before using or transfer to a container with a lid and let rest in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
• For the lemon creme fraiche: Whisk together the creme fraiche, lemon zest and juice and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
• For the herbed ricotta and topping: Put the ricotta, chives, dill, parsley, lemon zest and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl and work together with a fork.
• Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush with some of the remaining melted butter. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the crepe batter and swirl the skillet so the batter completely covers the bottom. Cook until the underside of the crepe is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Loosen the edge of the crepe with a rubber spatula, then with your fingertips, quickly flip. Cook 1 minute more. Slide the crepe out of the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter, coating the skillet with butter as needed. Stack the finished crepes directly on top of each other.
• Lay 8 crepes on a flat surface. Smear about 1/4 cup herbed ricotta in a wide strip down the center of each. Top with 2 or 3 slices of salmon, then gather the sides of each crepe around the filling, leaving most of the filling exposed. Scatter some onion slices and capers over the filling, then drizzle some lemon creme fraiche on top. Scatter some dill fronds on top and serve.

SMOKED SALMON WITH CAPERS, RED ONIONS AND LEMON FAST2EAT

Steps:

• Scald the thinly sliced onion twice. Just throw boiled water on it, drain, rinse with cold water, drain and repeat the process. Or leave the sliced onion soaked in salt ice water for at least 30 minutes. This will give it a smoother flavour and reduces their bitterness and pungency.
• Be sure to get high quality, sliced smoked salmon.
• Artfully arrange the smoked salmon slices along on a large serving platter.
• Spread the red onion slices over the smoked salmon slices.
• Scatter the capers over the top of the platter.
• If using, place a small bunch of dill at the top and sprinkle with the pepper.
• Arrange the lemon slices around the platter.
• Serve salmon platter with crackers and/or bread.

SMOKED SALMON OMELET WITH RED ONIONS AND CAPERS

• Whisk eggs, salt and pepper in a large bowl to blend.
• Melt 2 teaspoons butter in a 8-inch diameter nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Ladle 3/4 cup of the egg mixture into the skillet.
• Cook until eggs are softly set, stirring often and lifting edge of eggs to allow uncooked portion to run under, covering skillet if necessary to help set the top.
• Place 1/4 of the salmon on half of the omelet.
• Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon onion and 1 teaspoon capers.
• Top with 2 tablespoons cream cheese.
• Fold omelet in half and slid out onto plate.
• Repeat with ingredients to make 3 more omelets.

SMOKED SALMON SANDWICHES WITH CAPERS AND RED ONION RELISH

Divide salmon among 8 bread slices. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon red onion mixture atop salmon on each bread slice. Top each of 4 salmon-topped bread slices with another salmon-topped bread slice, salmon side up. Top each stack with 1 cheese-covered bread slice, cheese side down, forming a total of 4 three-layer sandwiches. Cut each sandwich into 4 triangles.
