STEAMED SALMON WITH A CREAMY CITRUS SAUCE OVER SPINACH

Steps:

• Fish -- A easy way to steam salmon is to individually wrap the fillets in saran wrap and steam right in a colander over a pan of water. No clean up and easy. So, my trick is to set a 10x10 piece of plastic wrap in a small cereal bowl or something similar. Then, set the salmon skin side down on the plastic wrap and top with butter, salt and pepper, 2 orange slices and then 1/4 cup wine. Wrap up the salmon like a little package and you are ready to cook it. Bring a medium pan or pot of water to a boil and set a colander or strainer over the top. This way you will be steaming your fish. As the water comes to a boil, start your sauce.
• Sauce -- In a small pot add the butter and melt on medium heat, add the flour and mix to make a roux. Cook another minute until well combined. Add in 3/4 cup of the vegetable broth, garlic and cream and cook on medium (not boiling) until thickened. It will take about 7-10 minutes. Once thickened, add the lemon and orange juice, parsley and check for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. Set on low while you finish the fish and spinach. Before I serve the sauce I add the remaining 1/4 cup broth to thin it out just a bit.
• Fish Steaming -- Your water is boiling and the salmon is wrapped. As you were making the sauce. Just set your 4 packets on the colander or steamer and cover. You just want the water level so it doesn't come up through the colander or steamer. Cover -- I use an over sized lid or even just a piece of foil. Don't worry if it doesn't fit, it is just meant to keep some of the steam inches The fish will take around 15 minutes.
• Spinach -- Sauce is done, fish is cooking. Time to saute your spinach. In a large saute pan, add the olive oil and pancetta and cook 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Add in the onion and cook another couple of minutes. Then add in the spinach and a couple of tablespoons of broth and cook just a few minutes until wilted. I don't like to over cook the spinach.
• Plate -- Place a bed of spinach on each plate. Unwrap the steamed / poached salmon and place each piece on the bed of spinach. Don't worry about the wine in the bottom of the packets, that was just to keep the fish moist as it cooked, but it certainly couldn't hurt to add it right over the spinach.
• Note: The skin should come right off when you remove from the packets.
• Top the salmon with the citrus sauce and enjoy. Serve with some buttered new potatoes.
• Plate the spinach, nicely wilted but still not too overdone, top with the salmon, orange slices and some of the wine and butter and then top with the citrus sauce.
• Add some new potatoes on the side or rice pilaf makes for a very nice dinner.

STEAMED SALMON AND SPINACH WITH SAN BAI SU

Steps:

• Cut tofu into four slabs and place on a thin cotton towel or piece of cheesecloth to drain. Slice salmon fillet into eight slices, each about 3/4inch thick. Place two salmon strips skin side together in a round, yin yang patty and place on top of each piece of tofu.
• In a small saucepan, bring to a boil the soy sauce, mirin, rice wine vinegar, ginger, and black pepper. Remove from heat and reserve.
• Place a rack above boiling water in a large pot with a cover. Place tofu/salmon on rack in steamer, surround it with the spinach, and steam, covered, for 4 to 6 minutes.
• To serve, place a tofu/salmon in each of four shallow bowls and arrange hot spinach around edges. Pour soy mixture over each and sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

CREAMY GARLIC, LEMON & SPINACH SALMON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Pierce the sweet potatoes a few times each and microwave on high for 5 mins until soft (alternatively, bake for 35-40 mins). Keep warm until ready to serve.
• Heat half the oil in a frying pan and lightly brown the salmon on both sides - don't worry about it being cooked through at this point. Transfer the salmon to a plate, wipe out the pan and heat the remaining oil. Cook the garlic for 30 seconds, without letting it brown, then add the spinach, lemon zest and juice and some seasoning. Stir in the mascarpone and 2 tbsp of the milk and cook until the spinach has wilted.
• Tip the spinach mix into an ovenproof dish and top with the lemon slices and salmon fillets. Bake for 5-8 mins until the salmon is cooked through.
• Meanwhile, scoop the sweet potato flesh from the skins and mash with the remaining milk and some seasoning. Serve the sweet potato mash alongside the salmon and creamy spinach.

STEAMED SALMON WITH SAUCE OF SORREL AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Rub the salmon steaks with salt and pepper. Combine the oil, lemon juice and capers in a shallow bowl. Add the salmon and turn to coat with the marinade. Refrigerate for an hour.
• Scald the sorrel and spinach in boiling water. Rinse under cold water, drain and squeeze thoroughly dry. Mince the sorrel and spinach in a food processor, together with a third of a cup of the cream.
• Combine the remaining one-and-two-thirdscups of cream and wine in a medium-size saucepan. Boil over high heat until reduced by half, about seven minutes. Add the sorrel and spinach and cook two minutes more, stirring.
• Off heat, stir in the butter a piece at a time, whisking after each addition until thoroughly incorporated. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Add more lemon juice if a tarter flavor is desired.
• To serve, divide the sauce among four plates and place the salmon on top.
