SALMON IN SAFFRON MUSSEL SAUCE
I don't eat seafood anymore, and this is one of the recipes I miss the most. This elegant dish is delicious, beautiful, and easy to make. If memory serves me correctly, this recipe comes from a Bon Apetit magazine.

Steps:
- Combine the mussels and wine in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover and cook until the museels begin to open (about 4 minutes), stirring occasionally.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the mussels to a large bowl, discarding any mussels that have not opened. Pour the liquid from the saucepan into a 2-cup measuring cup. Stir in the saffron, and let the cooking liquid stand for 15 minutes.
- Add enough cream to the cooking liquid to measure 1 1/3 cups. Transfer this mixture to a large saucepan. Stir in the tomatoes, garlic, bay leaf, and cayenne. Simmer over medium heat until the sauce thickens slightly (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper. (This can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill the mussels and sauce separately).
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the salmon, with rounded side down. Cook until the bottom is golden, about 3 minutes. Turn the salmon over. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the salmon is opaque in the centre (about 4 minutes longer). Remove from heat. Leave covered to keep warm.
- In a large saucepan, bring the sauce to a simmer over low heat. Add the mussels in their shells, and stir until they're heated through (about 2 minutes). Stir in the lemon juice.
- Place 1 salmon fillet on each of 4 plates. Divide mussels among plates. Spoon sauce over salmon and mussels.

SALMON WITH SAFFRON CREAM SAUCE
A variant on a recipe I found in a magazine. I was a little disappointed in the original version because the time spent versus the end result wasn't worth it. I think this was nicer and much, much quicker - so try and see if you agree ;-).

Steps:
- Evenly spread saffron threads at the bottom of a small glass and top with 1 teaspoon of water.
- Place into a microwave oven towards the edge of the carousel with 200ml of water in a large glass at the opposite edge.
- Microwave on high for 3 minutes.
- WARNING - the water may be superheated - allow to rest 5 minutes before touching either glass.
- Remove the small glass and transfer the saffron / remaining liquid to a small mixing bowl (or for a single serve just leave in the glass).
- Mix through sour cream, lime juice and chopped chives mixing well and place in refrigerator while salmon cooks.
- Rub olive oil over the salmon and sprinkle with pepper.
- Cooking using your preferred techique, I grilled them on a BBQ plate over medium heat for about 7 minutes a side.
- Spread (it is quite thick) mixture over the salmon and serve with your favourite salads and side-dishes.

Steps:
- Steam mussels in wine until shells open. When cool enough to handle, remove mussels from shells and place in bowl. Cover with 1 cup of cooking liquid. Reserve enough half shells for number of mussels you have and refrigerate in plastic bag.
- In small bowl, using a whisk, beat egg yolk with vinegar and mustard. Season with generous pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Secure bowl on towel, potholder or rubber mat so it does not slide and, beating continuously, dribble in oil in thin stream. Mixture will gradually thicken to mayonnaise. If you are reluctant to make mayonnaise by hand you can use food processer but ingredients must be doubled for it to work, yielding twice as much mayonnaise as needed for recipe. Alternately, you can use 3/4 of cup of commercial mayonnaise.
- To make saffron seasoning, bring to boil 1/2 cup of cooking liquid that mussels were sitting in and pour 1 1/2 tablespoons over saffron in small dish. Allow saffron to steep for 15 minutes, then strain hot liquid into mayonnaise and mix well.
- Drain mussels well and mix with saffron mayonnaise. Just before serving, spoon mussel with sauce onto each half shell. You should have enough mussels to serve about 8 to each guest.
