Potato Crusted Alaskan Salmon With Arugula Quinoa Salad And Lemon Beurre Blanc Recipes

POTATO CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• For the Salmon breading:
• Place 2 cups shredded potatoes into a shallow pan. Using a rubber spatula spread 1/8 cup of salmon glue evenly onto one side of a 6 ounces salmon filet. Place coated side of salmon filet into shredded potatoes. Repeat process for opposite side. Ensure that salmon is evenly coated in shredded potatoes.
• For the Lemon butter sauce:
• In a saute pan add white wine, lemon juice, cream, garlic, turmeric, salt and pepper. Heat on high heat and reduce by 1/2 its original volume. Remove from heat and swirl in diced butter.
• Plating procedure:
• Place potato crusted salmon onto griddle over medium high heat. Allow to cook on one side until potatoes are golden brown. Flip salmon and complete cooking and browning of salmon. Approximately 3 1/2 to 4 minutes for each side. Place 2 ounces garlic mashed potatoes onto the center of a dinner plate, ladle sauce around mashed potatoes, and place vegetables atop mashed potatoes. Place browned salmon atop vegetables. Garnish with julienne green onions.

SEARED SALMON WITH CITRUS AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Make the glaze for the salmon: In a small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil with the orange juice, mustard, half the chopped garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
• Make the salad dressing: In another small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil with the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir in the shallots and the remaining garlic, then set aside.
• Using a small serrated knife, peel the grapefruit and oranges and trim to remove any remaining pith. Slice all the peeled fruit crosswise into thin circles (no larger than 1/2-inch thick); remove the seeds and set aside.
• Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy stainless-steel skillet over medium-high until it's extremely hot (a drop of water flicked onto the pan should turn to steam almost immediately), about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels, brush both sides with olive oil, and season all over with salt and pepper.
• When the pan is ready, cook the salmon fillets skin-side down over medium-high without moving until the salmon skin releases easily from the pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a pair of tongs or a spatula, wiggle the fillets to loosen the skin from the bottom of the pan, then carefully flip. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly rare in the center, 4 to 5 more minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
• Transfer to a rimmed plate or serving dish, and brush the glaze all over the salmon, making sure to coat the fillets.
• Combine the arugula and fennel in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well. Add the avocado, citrus rounds and pistachios, and toss gently. Transfer to a shallow serving bowl or platter and serve alongside the salmon.

POTATO-CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Remove and discard skin from fish. Cut fish into 4 serving pieces. Mix egg white and water with fork. Mix dry potatoes, cornstarch, paprika and lemon-pepper seasoning. Dip just the top sides of fish into egg white mixture, then press into potato mixture.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over high heat. Cook fish, potato sides down, in oil 3 minutes. Carefully turn fish, using wide slotted spatula. Reduce heat to medium. Cook about 3 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with fork.
