Salmon Mousse With Leeks Recipes

SALMON MOUSSE

Steps:

• Combine the salmon mixture and gelatin: Add the dissolved gelatin to the salmon mixture and mix well.
• Chill: Pour the mixture into a decorative mold or into serving bowls and refrigerate for 6 hours, or until firm.
• Unmold: If using a decorative mold, unmold the salmon mousse by placing the bottom of the mold in hot water for a few seconds and turn the mold over onto a large serving dish to release the mousse. The surface of the mousse may appear a bit ragged. If you cover with plastic wrap and re-chill in the refrigerator, it should become smoother. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve salmon mousse with sliced avocados, celery sticks, lettuce leaves, tomatoes, olives, slices of baguette, and/or crackers.

SALMON WITH CARAMELIZED LEEKS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil, and spray with cooking spray.
• Trim away the root end, tough outer leaves, and dark green tops of the leeks. Cut the leeks lengthwise into quarters, then crosswise into thirds. Wash the leeks well to remove any grit, and drain in a colander.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook and stir the leeks until they have started to soften, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the leeks with brown sugar, and cook until they turn brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the matchstick carrots, sprinkle with kosher salt, and cook and stir until the carrots are tender, about 5 minutes.
• Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet, rub the fillets with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast the salmon until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily but isn't dry, about 10 minutes per 1 inch of thickness. Remove the cooked fillets to plates, and top each fillet with 1/4 of the caramelized leeks and carrots.

SALMON WITH LEEKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss leeks with oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing once, until beginning to soften, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Remove leeks from oven, toss with pan juices to coat, and push to edges of baking sheet. Arrange salmon pieces in center, and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Return to oven; roast until salmon is just opaque throughout, 10 to 15 minutes (depending on thickness). Serve salmon with leeks and lemon wedges.

SALMON MOUSSE WITH LEEKS

Steps:

• Cut the salmon into cubes. Set aside.
• Cut the leek crosswise into one- and-one-half-inch pieces. Cut the pieces into thin slices, lengthwise. Cut the slices into very thin strips (julienne). There should be one cup. Increase or decrease the strips to make one cup.
• Put the leeks in a small saucepan and add the wine. Bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, put the salmon into the container of a food processor or electric blender. Add the egg, salt, pepper, cayenne and nutmeg. Start processing while adding the cream. Spoon and scrape the mixture into a mixing bowl. Add the leek strips and fold them in.
• Bring water to the boil in the bottom of a steamer.
• Lay out on a flat surface eight rectangles of plastic wrap or aluminum foil, each about 6 by 12 inches. Butter each rectangle on the exposed side. Spoon one-half cup of mousse mixture into the center of each. Roll the plastic wrap or foil to neatly and tightly enclose the mousse.
• Arrange the rolls in a steamer rack and place the rack over the boiling water. Cover closely and let steam seven minutes (the internal temperature should be about 150 degrees). Remove the plastic wrap or foil and serve with white butter sauce spooned over each serving.

CREAMY SALMON, LEEK & POTATO TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bring a medium pan of water to the boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 8 mins. Drain and leave to steam-dry in a colander for a few minutes. Toss the potatoes with ½ of the oil and plenty of seasoning in a baking tray. Put in the oven for 20 mins, tossing halfway through the cooking time.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the leek and fry for 5 mins, or until beginning to soften. Stir through the garlic for 1 min, then add the cream, capers and 75ml hot water, then bring to the boil. Stir through the chives.
• Heat the grill to high. Pour the creamy leek mixture over the potatoes, then sit the salmon fillets on top. Grill for 7-8 mins, or until just cooked through. Serve topped with extra chives and capers and a salad on the side, if you like.
