Salt And Pepper Crushed Potatoes With Lemon Dill Mayo Recipes

SALT AND PEPPER TROUT WITH CRUSHED DILL POTATOES

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling water for about 20 minutes, until tender. Drain the potatoes and leave them covered in the pan to keep warm.
• Preheat the broiler to high. Meanwhile, make 3 diagonal slashes in the flesh on both sides of each trout. Season the trout generously on both sides.
• Line a broiler pan with lightly oiled foil and broil the trout for 5-7 minutes each side, turning once, until cooked through. Crush the potatoes with a fork, then add the oil, lemon juice, horseradish and dill. Mix until evenly combined.
• Place each trout on a plate and serve with the crushed dill potatoes and a green salad.

CRUSHED LEMON POTATOES

Steps:

• Roast potatoes in oven with small amount of oil until done. Cut in half.
• Place lemon juice in a small saucepan and cook over high heat until reduced to 1/2 cup.
• Let cool.
• Mix together the butter, reduced lemon juice and zest in a small bowl until combined.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a few tablespoons of the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat.
• Add the potatoes and saute for a few minutes.
• Fold in the parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.

SLOW-ROASTED SALMON WITH POTATO SALAD & DILL & MUSTARD MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 120C/100C fan/gas ½. Scatter the lemon slices, thyme sprigs and reserved dill stalks over the base of a large, shallow roasting tin or baking tray. Season the salmon generously with salt and pepper and rub half the olive oil all over the fish. Lay the salmon skin-side up on top of the lemon and herbs. Roast for 45-50 mins until the fish feels firm and a corner of skin peels away easily. If you have a digital thermometer, the salmon should be at about 55C when ready. Leave to cool slightly in the tin.
• While the salmon is cooking, tip the potatoes into a pan of cold salted water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-15 mins until just tender. Drain. Mix the mustard, lemon juice and olive oil together in a large bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Tip the hot potatoes into the bowl and toss to coat in the dressing. Set aside. Can be served hot or made a day ahead and chilled.
• Carefully lift the salmon onto a serving platter, if you like (it can also be served directly from the tin). Peel away and discard the skin, then use a cutlery knife to neatly scrape away the grey meat on top (see quick fishcakes recipe, below, to use it up), leaving the pink flesh underneath. The salmon is now ready to eat warm, or leave to cool completely and eat at room temperature. (See tip for garnishing the salmon, below.) Will keep chilled for up to two days. Can be served cold.
• For the mayonnaise, mix all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Can be made a day ahead and kept chilled. Just before serving, brush the rest of the olive oil over the salmon and season with sea salt. Serve with the potato salad and dill & mustard mayonnaise on the side.
