Smoked Salmon On Grilled Seven Grain Bread With Tomato And Dill Recipes

SMOKED SALMON 7-LAYER DIP

Steps:

• Line a 6"-diameter ring mold, 6"-diameter cake pan or springform pan, or 16-oz. ramekin with plastic wrap, pressing it along the bottom and up the sides (you can also use a small bowl, but the layers won't be quite as even). Pulse cream cheese, goat cheese, horseradish, and lemon zest in a food processor until well combined and creamy.
• Press a third of smoked salmon into an even layer across the bottom of mold. Spread half of cream cheese mixture evenly over salmon, smoothing surface with a rubber spatula.
• Toss radishes and onion in a small bowl to combine, then scatter over cream cheese mixture and press down lightly into mixture. Top with half of remaining salmon, making an even layer, then scatter capers over. Spread remaining cream cheese mixture over capers and finish with a final layer of the remaining salmon. Cover dip with plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour to let dip set and flavors meld.
• Uncover dip and carefully invert onto a plate. Remove ring mold, then carefully peel away plastic. Top with chives. Serve with endives and bagel chips for spreading over.

GRILLED SALMON WITH DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Mix mayonnaise, dill, mustard, and brown sugar in a bowl. Spread vegetable oil over salmon skin.
• Grill salmon skin-side down on preheated grill. Spread mayonnaise mixture over top of salmon and cook until salmon is easily flaked with a fork, 6 to 12 minutes.

GRILLED SALMON SANDWICH WITH DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Evenly coat the salmon with the olive oil.
• Cook the salmon on the preheated grill with the skin side down for about 5 minutes before flipping and cooking on the other side until the skin can easily be lifted off the flesh, about 5 minutes more. Flip the salmon once more and continue cooking until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, another 2 to 3 minutes.
• Whisk the mayonnaise, dill, and lemon zest together in a small bowl; divide between 2 of the toasted bread slices. Top each with 1 portion of cooked salmon, 2 tomato slices, 2 bacon slices, 1 lettuce leaf, and a remaining slice of toasted bread.

WHOLE GRILLED SALMON WITH MUSTARD AND DILL

Steps:

• Mix together one-half cup of the dill, two tablespoons of the mustard and the vinegar. Spread the fish open and rub this mixture over the flesh. Close the fish up and secure the edge, using slender skewers or sewing it with heavy thread. Rub the skin of the fish with one tablepoon of the oil, cover loosely and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for one hour.
• Meanwhile prepare the sauce. Combine the remaining dill and mustard in a small mixing bowl. Beat in one-third cup olive oil, the lemon juice and sugar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Preheat grill to very hot. Oil a fish basket large enough to hold the fish or oil your racks. If you do not have this equipment you can also use a well-oiled double-sheet of heavy-duty foil into which you have punched holes with a fork.
• Grill the fish 10 minutes on each side, or a little longer, depending on the intensiy of the heat. For best results, you should cook the fish with the grill covered for about half the cooking time. You will be able to turn the fish only once either by turning the basket or by lifting the fish off the rack with a couple of large spatulas. You can also turn it by just turning the foil package. Before turning it, brush some oil on the skin. After turning it, you may find that some of the skin has stuck to the grill despite your best efforts. Don't worry. The second side, which will be turned up for serving should brown nicely and not stick at all. The fish is done when a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted in the center meets little or no resistance. Do not overcook the fish.
• When the fish is done, place it on heavy-duty foil. Roll it onto a serving plate so the bottom side of the fish is on top. Remove the skewers or trussing and decorate with sprigs of dill. Serve the fish hot or at room temperature with the sauce on the side.
