BBQ POTATO CHIP-CRUSTED SALMON WITH WATERCRESS SALAD

Steps:

• For the salmon: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the salmon in the center skin-side down. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spread the Dijon evenly on the flesh side of the salmon.
• In a food processor, combine the BBQ chips, sugar, chili powder, scallions, garlic and lime zest and pulse until combined and the consistency of coarse bread crumbs. Press the mixture onto the mustard on the flesh side of the salmon.
• Bake until the chip mixture is golden brown and crunchy, about 15 minutes.
• For the salad: In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, vinegar, lime juice and jalapeno. While whisking, drizzle in the olive oil. Add the watercress, mango and onions and season with salt and pepper, tossing to coat.
• Place the salad on a plate with the salmon and garnish the salad with the almonds.

SALMON WITH NEW POTATO & WATERCRESS SALAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Take a square of foil and arrange the sliced shallots in the centre. Put the fish fillets on top, add 2 sprigs of dill and ½ tbsp of the vinegar. Close the foil, sealing it to make a parcel, and place on a baking tray. Put in the oven for 12 mins.
• Steam the potatoes for 6 mins. Add the beans and cook for 5 mins more. Put the remaining vinegar in a bowl with the oil, mustard, watercress, and most of the chopped dill and shallot, and mix well. Add the warm beans and potatoes, and gently toss together. Serve with the cooked fish, pouring over the juice from the parcel, and scatter over the remaining dill.

GRILLED SALMON WITH POTATO & WATERCRESS SALAD

Steps:

• In a 5-to 6-quart pan, bring about 2 quarts water to a boil over high heat; add potatoes.
• Cover and simmer over low heat until potatoes are tender when pierced, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and chill.
• Soak the onions about 15 minutes in cold water to cover. Drain and mix onions with rice vinegar.
• Cut potatoes in quarters; add to onions. Trim tender watercress sprigs from stems, then finely chop enough of the course stems to make 1/2 cup (discard extras or save for other uses).
• Mix chopped stems on a large oval platter with potato salad alongside; cover and keep cool.
• Rinse salmon and pat dry. Place, skin side down, on a piece of heavy foil. Cut foil to follow outlines of fish, leaving a 1-inch border. Crimp edges of foil to fit up against edge of fish. Mix soy sauce with brown sugar and brush onto the salmon fillet.
• Lay fish on center of grill, not over coals or flame. Cover barbecue (open vents for charcoal) and cook until fish is barely opaque in thickest part (cut to test), 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer fish to platter with salad. Add salt to taste. Serve hot or cold.

Steps:

• Mash anchovies with a spoon in a small bowl. Add mustard and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cover potatoes with 2 inches water in a pot. Add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until knife-tender, about 12 minutes. Drain. Let stand until cool enough to handle, then halve potatoes.
• Heat grill to medium-high. Brush salmon lightly with oil, sprinkle with zest and remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Brush grill grates with oil, then place salmon on grill, skin-side down. Cook until skin is crisp and browned, about 6 minutes a side for medium-rare, 8 minutes a side for medium. Remove from grill.
• Place a wire rack on grill (or use a vegetable grill basket). Toss snap peas with remaining 2 teaspoons oil, transfer to rack, and grill, tossing frequently with tongs, until charred in spots, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from grill.
• Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently lower eggs into pot; simmer 8 minutes. Drain, then run under cold water to stop cooking; peel and halve.
• Pour half of dressing into a serving bowl. Add potatoes; toss to coat. Add watercress and toss again. Flake salmon into large pieces; add to bowl. Top with eggs and peas and serve, with remaining dressing on the side.
