SPRING SALMON, POTATO AND PESTO TERRINE

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and place in a large pot. Cover with cold salted water. Cook until the potatoes are tender, or when a knife inserted in the center of the potato slides out easily. Drain and allow to cool only long enough to handle. Slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• Cut the salmon into 3 pieces and season both sides with salt and pepper. Slice 1 shallot and place on the bottom of a shallow pan. Put the salmon on top of the shallot and pour in the chicken stock and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. There should be enough liquid to cover the fish. Brush a piece of wax paper with oil and place over the fish. Cook over medium heat. When the liquid has come to a boil reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook 8 minutes, or until the fish is slightly pink in the center. Remove the salmon from the liquid and cool. Then break the meat with your fingers into small - about 1 1/2 inches - pieces.
• Line a terrine mold or bread loaf pan approximately 3 1/2 by 7 by 3 inches with wax paper, cutting the paper to fit the mold precisely.
• Place an even layer, about 1/4-inch deep, of salmon on the bottom of the mold. Press the salmon evenly into the mold. Using a pastry brush, brush the salmon with pesto.
• Place a layer of potatoes on top of the salmon-pesto layer. Trim the potatoes to fit the mold precisely. Brush the layer of potatoes with pesto.
• Repeat the process until there are 3 layers each of salmon and potatoes.
• Cover the top of the terrine with plastic wrap and weight down with heavy cans that fit within the terrine. Refrigerate overnight.
• Prepare the vinaigrette by mixing the 1 1/2 cups of olive oil, red-wine vinegar, lemon juice and zest, and salt and pepper to taste. Mince the remaining shallot and mix into the vinaigrette. Just before serving, add the shredded basil and pieces of broken walnuts.
• Dress the greens, reserving some vinaigrette for saucing the terrine. Divide the greens among eight plates, placing the greens in the center.
• Cut the terrine into eight slices. Place a piece on the greens and drizzle on the remaining vinaigrette.

SALMON AND AVOCADO TERRINE

Steps:

• To make the mousse, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the fresh salmon in a single layer in a medium ovenproof skillet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bring the fish stock to a boil and pour it over the salmon. Over medium high heat, bring the stock to a simmer. Place a buttered sheet of parchment paper over the skillet and transfer it to the oven. Cook for 2 minutes, until the salmon is not quite done. Strain, reserving the salmon and stock in separate bowls.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium low heat. Add the shallots and the mushrooms and cook for about 3 minutes, or until almost tender. Add the brandy and flame it with a match, standing well away from the pan. Cook over high heat until reduced by half, then add the reserved stock and again reduce by half. Remove from the heat and sprinkle the gelatin over the top. Stir until the gelatin has dissolved, then strain into a food processor and discard the solids. Add the cooked salmon and the Tabasco to the food processor and puree the mixture until smooth. Whip the cream to soft peaks and reserve in the refrigerator. Transfer the salmon mixture to a metal bowl set inside a larger bowl filled with ice water. Stir until the mixture has cooled to room temperature, but not colder. Stir in 1/4 of the whipped cream to loosen the mixture, then fold in the remaining whipped cream gently.
• Stop folding as soon as the last trace of white disappears. Pour 1/2 of the mixture into a 10 by 5 by 3inch glass loaf pan and, using half of the smoked salmon, gently lay a layer of smoked salmon over the top, laying the strips crosswise. Fit the avocado slices together into an even layer, taking care not to press down too hard or the mousse underneath will shift. Lay the remaining smoked salmon over the top of the avocado and then scoop the remaining salmon mousse into the pan. Spread the mousse into an even layer and cover with plastic wrap. Chill for at least 6 hours and up to 2 days before serving. To serve, run a thin knife along the inside edge of the pan. Dip the bottom of the pan in hot water for a few seconds and invert onto a rectangular serving platter. Cut the mousse into 3/4inch slices with a very sharp knife transfer carefully to serving plates. Pass the watercress mayonnaise on the side.
