EVERYDAY SALMON WITH TANGY CUCUMBERS AND FRIED SHALLOTS
A large piece of fish, like salmon, cod or halibut, cooked for less than 20 minutes in a cloak of olive oil, makes an ultimate low-pressure, unfussy main course that you can further dress up however you please. Set out the salmon with a big bowl of buttered rice, fried shallots, spicy cucumbers and other crunchy, lightly pickled vegetables for snacking. If you like, add jammy eggs for sauciness and salmon eggs for saltiness (and the opportunity to say "eggs on eggs!"), and you've got yourself quite a spread.

Steps:
- If serving the shallots, combine shallots and oil in a small pot or skillet. Heat over medium and cook until shallots begin to sizzle and fry in the oil, 3 to 4 minutes. Continue cooking, swirling the pot or skillet occasionally, until the shallots begin to sizzle less and brown more, another 3 to 4 minutes. Once they're just starting to turn a nice golden brown, remove from heat. (They will continue to brown in the oil, so pull them before you think they're ready.) Use a slotted spoon or mesh strainer to transfer shallots to a paper towel-lined plate. Immediately season with lots of salt and set aside to cool.
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. Season salmon with salt and pepper and place in a large baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and place in oven. Roast until the edges are opaque and the fish is just cooked through in the center, 10 to 12 minutes for medium rare, 15 to 18 minutes for more well done. Meanwhile, thinly slice half the lemon and pick out any seeds. (Save the other half of the lemon for serving alongside.)
- If serving the cucumbers, combine cucumbers, vinegar and Aleppo pepper in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and let sit a few minutes, tossing occasionally to evenly season. Drizzle with olive oil before serving.
- Remove salmon from oven and transfer to a large serving platter. (Alternatively, feel free to serve in the baking dish.) Scatter lemon slices over and nestle remaining lemon alongside for squeezing over. Sprinkle with flaky salt before serving with the cucumbers, shallots or both if you like, and perhaps quick pickles, buttered rice, jammy eggs or more fish (see note below).

FRISEE SALAD WITH FISH AND CHIPS (SALMON AND SEAWEED)

Categories salads and dressings, main course
Time 40m
Yield 6 to 8 servings
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- Rub the 1/3 cup of olive oil into the salmon and set aside to marinate at least 1 hour. Preheat grill or broiler to high heat and grill salmon 3 minutes to a side, until it is thoroughly seared on the outside but barely warm in the center. Remove from heat and set aside.
- To prepare the dulse, first peel and stretch the pieces to separate them. Heat the grape seed oil in a skillet over high heat until oil is smoking. Add the pieces of seaweed a few at a time to the smoking oil. They will curl flat and brown almost immediately. Remove from heat, drain on paper towels and set aside. Saute basil leaves; drain and set aside. Sprinkle the sage vinegar over the seaweed and basil.
- To prepare the salad cream, first whisk together the vinegar and oil. Add salt and pepper. Beat in creme fraiche until mixture is thoroughly homogeneous and creamy. Add chives just before serving. Pour over the endive and toss to mix and coat the leaves completely.
- To serve, put a mound of greens on each plate. Cut the salmon in very thin slices and distribute on top of each salad mound. Sprinkle the salmon slices with seaweed "chips" and serve immediately.

LITTLE SMOKED SALMON CUCUMBER CUPS WITH PEPPERED CREME FRAICHE
Delightful and EASY little smoked salmon and cucumber appetisers, and healthy too, with NO pastry! These are a breeze to make but they tick all the taste boxes, as well as being elegant. Cucumbers do vary in size, and I have suggested a medium cucumber, which is about 10" to 12" long.........however, any size will do!! Adjust the crème fraiche to how many cups you yield from a cucumber, I managed to make 30 cups and used 10 tablespoons of crème fraîche for that amount, 1 teaspoon per cup. Serve these with cocktails and pre-dinner drinks, or as part of a buffet. The cucumber cups and crème fraîche can be prepared beforehand, but these should only be assembled 1 hour before serving (at the most) and covered in cling film to ensure the smoked salmon does not dry out. Allow 2 to 4 per person, depending on what else is served.

Steps:
- Cut the cucumber into 1 1/2 inch slices, and carefully hollow out the centre (with any seeds) with a pointed teaspoon, so you are left with a shallow hollow.
- Mix the lemon zest and black pepper with the crème fraiche and adjust seasoning to taste, adding the black pepper bit by bit to ensure a favourable taste! (We like ours quite peppery!) I have not suggested salt as the smoked salmon is salty, but do add salt to taste if you wish.
- Spoon a little seasoned crème fraiche into each cucumber cup, about 1 teaspoon per cup.
- Cut the smoked salmon into 6-inch long strips and about 1/2 inch wide, and curl them around to make a little circle, then place the circle of smoked salmon on top of the crème fraiche.
- Garnish with lemon slices if you wish, or with dill or parsley. Makes about 30 according to size of cucumber.
- You can prepare the cucumber cups and crème fraiche several hours beforehand- cover them and store them in the fridge; assemble them just before you are ready to serve them.
FRISEE WITH CRISPED SALMON SKIN AND WARM SHERRY VINAIGRETTE
In case you shy away from the pork-fat dressing of the classic frisee, you can always turn to this lighter, but equally delicious version, which substitutes crackling salmon skin for the lardons. Broiled salmon skin is a sushi bar staple, and the ginger in this dish echoes that connection. And further interest is provided by a very sympathetic dose of sherry vinegar. A multi-culti triumph!

Steps:
- 1. Make the croutons: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush both sides of bread slices with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cut into 1-inch cubes and bake croutons in oven on a baking sheet, shaking pan occasionally, until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
- 2. Remove salmon skin from fillet and reserve fillet for another use. Lightly brush half tablespoon hazelnut oil on both sides of salmon skin and place on preheated grill until crispy, about 2 minutes per side. (Alternatively, you can crisp it under a broiler.) Pat salmon skin dry with paper towels, cut into three-quarter-inch dice, and set aside.
- 3. Combine shallots, lemon juice, sherry vinegar, ginger, garlic, half cup of hazelnut oil, salt and pepper in a small saucepan and cook the dressing over moderate heat until shallots are wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- 4. In a large bowl toss the frisee, salmon skin, and croutons with warm sherry vinegar dressing. Divide among 6 plates and serve immediately.
Tips:
- To make the best dressing, use fresh lemon juice. Bottled lemon juice can be bitter and harsh.
- If you don't have crème fraîche, you can substitute it with sour cream or plain yogurt.
- To get the most flavor out of the salmon, cook it until it is just opaque in the center.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumber.
- To assemble the salad, start with a layer of frisée lettuce. Then, top with the flaked salmon, cucumber, and dressing. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped chives.
Conclusion:
This frisée salad with flaked salmon and cucumber is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of the slightly bitter frisée lettuce, the rich and flaky salmon, the crisp cucumber, and the tangy dressing is irresistible. This salad is also very easy to make, and it can be on the table in just 30 minutes.
