Salmon En Gelée With Coconut Risotto Recipes

SALMON EN GELéE WITH COCONUT RISOTTO

Steps:

• Remove skin and slice the salmon lengthwise. Salt and saute in 1 tablespoon oil in a nonstick skillet, 1 minute per side. Set aside.
• Combine the remaining oil, cardamom, peppercorns, herbes de Provence, thyme and lemon juice in a zip-lock bag, add salmon and refrigerate overnight.
• The next day, stir gelatin into half a cup of cold water and set aside. Heat the Champagne and dissolve sugar and salt in it. Remove from heat and stir in the gelatin, liqueur, lemon juice and herbs. Stir in 1 3/4 cups water.
• Pour 1/2 inch of the gelee mixture into a deep glass loaf pan. Set the pan in an ice bath. When gelee is set, top with a piece of the salmon, then pour in enough gelee to cover it by another 1/2 inch. Let set, then repeat with second piece of salmon. Pour enough gelée (if it has solidified, warm it) to cover salmon by 1/2 inch. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, or up to 1 day.
• About 15 minutes before serving, warm milk and coconut milk. Saute shallots in oil until soft. Stir in the rice, then a ladle of the milk mixture. Stir until almost all the liquid is absorbed. Repeat until the rice is creamy and al dente. (You may have liquid left.) Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and fold in avocado and fruit.
• Unmold salmon by dipping the bottom of the loaf pan briefly in warm water and inverting it onto a platter. Slice the ''loaf'' with a serrated knife and place a slice on each serving plate. Serve with a mound of warm risotto.

COPPER RIVER SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275.
• Heat olive oil in a nonstick sauté pan. Add fillets, skin side down. When skin blisters, about 1 minute, place pan in oven and roast for 8 to 12 minutes to medium-rare.
• Remove pan from oven and heat over high flame until skin crisps, about 2 minutes. Season. Serve skin side up.

SMOKED SALMON & LEMON RISOTTO

Steps:

• Fry the onion in the oil for 5 mins. Add the rice and garlic, then cook for 2 mins, stirring continuously. Pour in a third of the stock and set the timer to 20 mins. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the stock has been absorbed, then add half the rest of the stock and carry on cooking, stirring a bit more frequently, until that has been absorbed.
• Pour in the last of the stock, stir, then simmer until cooked and creamy. Take from the heat and add the chopped salmon, mascarpone, parsley and lemon zest. Grind in some black pepper, but don't add salt as the salmon will be salty enough. Leave for 5 mins to settle, then taste and add a little lemon juice if you like. Serve topped with reserved salmon (roughly torn) and some rocket.
