Steps:

• Mash anchovies with a spoon in a small bowl. Add mustard and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup oil. Season with salt and pepper.

• Place a wire rack on grill (or use a vegetable grill basket). Toss snap peas with remaining 2 teaspoons oil, transfer to rack, and grill, tossing frequently with tongs, until charred in spots, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from grill.
• Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently lower eggs into pot; simmer 8 minutes. Drain, then run under cold water to stop cooking; peel and halve.
• Pour half of dressing into a serving bowl. Add potatoes; toss to coat. Add watercress and toss again. Flake salmon into large pieces; add to bowl. Top with eggs and peas and serve, with remaining dressing on the side.

SALMON WITH SAUTéED MUSHROOMS, SHALLOTS AND FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300ºF. Cover a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil the foil. Place the salmon on top. Season with salt and pepper. Fill a roasting pan with boiling water and place it on the oven floor.
• Place the salmon in the oven and bake until the fish flakes and white bubbles of protein appear on the surface, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the fillets. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, cook the mushrooms. Heat a large, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. When the oil is hot (you can feel the heat when you hold your hand above the pan), add the mushrooms and cook, stirring or tossing in the pan, for a few minutes, until they begin to soften and sweat. Add the remaining oil, turn the heat to medium, and add the shallots, garlic, and herbs. Stir together, add 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and cook, stirring often, for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the shallots and garlic have softened and the mixture is fragrant. Add the wine and cook, stirring often and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the wine has just about evaporated. Taste and adjust seasonings. Remove from the heat.
• Serve the salmon with a spoonful of mushrooms on top or on the side.

LEEK SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk together the lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper.
• Toss the dressing with the leeks.
• Chop the tomatoes and cucumber, seeding them if desired, and add to leeks.
• Add the olives and cilantro and toss well.
• Add more salt and pepper if you like and chill for an hour.

SLOW-ROASTED SALMON WITH MUSHROOM-LEEK BROTH

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Place salmon on a baking sheet. Drizzle salmon with 1 tablespoon sesame oil, sprinkle with salt and roast in the oven until cooked, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove salmon from the oven and let it rest another 5 minutes.
• While the salmon roasts, heat remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a pot over medium. Add leeks and mushrooms, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks and mushrooms are lightly golden on the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. (Don't worry if the pan seems dry, the moisture that comes out of the mushrooms and leeks will help steam the vegetables and keep them from burning.)
• Add chicken broth and simmer until the broth is infused with mushroom flavor and leeks are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt.
• To serve, divide rice among bowls. Scoop salmon by the spoonful onto the rice, and ladle vegetables and broth over salmon and rice. Top with ginger and a drizzle of sesame oil.

WARM POTATO LEEK SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the mustard with the vinegar. Whisk in the canola oil in a thin stream and season with salt and pepper.
• Bring 2 medium saucepans of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes to one and cook for 20 minutes.
• Simultaneously, cook the asparagus and leeks in the other saucepan for 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry; add to the vinaigrette. Drain the potatoes and slice 1/2 inch thick; add to the bowl.
• Add the chives, season with salt and pepper and gently toss the salad. Serve warm.

STEAMED SALMON WITH MUSHROOMS AND LEEKS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil at medium heat. Add mushrooms, leeks and pepper and cook about 8 minutes or until veggies have soften. Put the salmon pieces on the veggies in the skillet.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil and garlic. Spread the mixture on the salmon. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes or until the flesh is easy to flake with a fork. Sprinkle with green onion. Serve with quarters of lemon.

GRILLED SALMON SALAD WITH LIME, CHILES AND HERBS

Steps:

• Light the grill for indirect heat, or heat the oven to 450 degrees.
• As the grill or oven heat up, make the dressing: Halve 1 lime, and squeeze its juice into a small bowl. Add the chile slices, half of the sliced shallot (save the rest for serving), the fish sauce and a pinch each salt and sugar. Let sit for 1 minute to dissolve the salt, then whisk in the olive oil. It won't emulsify, so mix again before using.
• Brush the salmon with oil, and place it in a grilling basket if you have one. Cook over the indirect (unlit) side of the grill, for 2 to 5 minutes per side, depending on how hot the grill is and how thick the salmon is. Note that individual fillets will cook faster than a single large piece. Check the salmon often. (Alternatively, roast the salmon on a baking sheet in the oven, until just cooked to taste, 7 to 12 minutes; you don't have to flip it.)
• As the salmon cooks, halve the other lime. Brush the cut sides with olive oil and grill, cut-side down, over direct heat until charred, about 1 minute. If using the oven, throw the halves, cut-side up, on the roasting pan with the salmon. They won't char, but they will cook and mellow in flavor, which is the aim.
• When the salmon is cooked, transfer it to a plate and spoon some dressing over it. Let it cool slightly, then break up the fish into large chunks.
• Place greens, remaining shallots, herbs, and radishes or cucumber, if using, in a large shallow bowl or on a platter, and add a little more of the dressing. Squeeze some of the juice from a charred lime half over it and drizzle with a little olive oil. Toss and taste, adding lime juice, olive oil or salt as needed.
• Top with the salmon chunks and drizzle with more (or all) of the dressing. Serve with the remaining charred lime half on the side for squeezing.

GRILLED SALMON WITH CORN AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Prepare the vegetables: Clean the mushrooms with a dry cloth, then cut off the stems (if using shiitakes) and cut into bite-sized pieces. Set aside. Peel the corn and remove the cornsilk. Then cut the kernels directly into a bowl, starting at the top of the husk and moving down.
• For the sauce: Preheat a dry skillet on high heat for 1 minute. While the pan is heating, prepare the tarragon by removing the leaves (save the stems for making stock), then finely chop. Trim the chives (save the ends for making stock), then finely chop. Set aside. Add oil to the heated skillet and add mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and cook until lightly browned. Add the corn, followed by chicken stock or clam juice, and bring to a boil. Add butter while the sauce is boiling to emulsify and create a sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then add the lemon juice. Add the herbs and set aside.
• Grill the salmon: Preheat grill on high heat with the lid on. Season salmon with salt and pepper and coat with oil on both sides. Scrape the grill clean and lightly swipe with an oiled rag. Place the fish on the grill, skin side down, and grill 2-3 minutes with the lid closed. Then use a large fork to flip and turn salmon 45 degrees to make cross hatching grill marks. (The salmon should not stick when it's ready to be flipped.) Cook 2-3 more minutes; salmon will be done when it's opaque in appearance and firm to the touch while translucent in the middle. Remove and set aside.
• Plate the dish: Divide the corn and butter sauce among 4 plates and top each with a piece of salmon. Spritz the salmon with lemon just before serving.

• Mix well and serve cold or at room temp.

CRISP LEEK SALAD

Steps:

• Combine the leeks, tomato wedges, and chopped hard-boiled egg.
• For the dressing, combine the remaining ingredients in a jar. Cover and shake to mix well.
