Homemade Irish (Whiskey) Cream image

This recipe turns out with the best flavour if you make it ahead and let it chill for 24 hours before serving. If you'd rather not serve it over crushed ice, chill the glass while you prepare the drink. Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to two months in an airtight container. If the Irish cream has been sitting in the refrigerator, shake it before serving.

IRISH SALMON WITH WHISKY CREAM SAUCE



IRISH SALMON WITH WHISKY CREAM SAUCE image

Categories     Fish     Quick & Easy     Dinner

Yield 2 people

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon black peppercorns,
crushed
½ tablespoon white peppercorns,
crushed
2 x 175g (6oz) salmon steaks
1 level teaspoon Dijon mustard
freshly ground sea salt
15g (½ oz ) butter
2 1/2 tablespoons Irish whisky
150ml (¼ pint) double cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, plus extra to garnish

Steps:

  • Mix together the crushed peppercorns. Smear the salmon steaks all over with the mustard and then press the peppercorns into the cut sides of the salmon - just enough to give it a nice thin coating. Season with salt. 2 Heat a frying pan until hot. Add the butter and, as soon as it starts to foam, lay in the salmon steaks. Reduce the heat to medium and fry the steaks for about 3 minutes on one side to brown them. 3 Turn up the heat, flip the steaks over, then splash in the whisky. Boil fast until the whisky has almost disappeared, then pour in the cream. Carefully scraping up any bits that are sticking to the bottom of the pan around the steaks, bring to a fast bubble. 4 Boil for 1 - 2 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken, then taste and season with more black pepper if necessary, and some salt. By this time the salmon should be just cooked - test with the tip of a knife; if it is still a wee bit pink, simmer over a low heat for a further minute. Stir in the chopped chives and serve immediately, garnished with the extra chives.

WHISKEY-GLAZED SALMON WITH SALT-CRUSTED POTATOES



Whiskey-Glazed Salmon With Salt-Crusted Potatoes image

The savory snap of baby potatoes crusted in salt is just what you want with the subtle sweetness of this fish's glaze. The fish and the potatoes cook and come together at the same time in this fast meal. To achieve silky salmon without turning on the oven, gently cook it in a shallow pool of sauce that thickens to a syrup as it simmers. The potatoes, prepared using a technique from the Canary Islands, simply boil in generously salted water, then finish cooking with a splash of the liquid. When it evaporates, the salt that remains crusts onto the spuds. Shaking the pan vigorously helps the salt coat the potatoes evenly and sheds excess crystals. Serve with a salad or, after the glaze is scraped onto the fish, throw baby spinach into the still-hot skillet and stir to just wilt.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds baby gold potatoes, scrubbed
2 tablespoons coarse sea salt or kosher salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
6 tablespoons whiskey
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 (5-ounce) salmon fillets
Salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the potatoes: The potatoes should all be the same small size, about 1 inch in diameter, so cut any larger ones in halves or quarters. Place in a large saucepan with 4 cups water and add the salt. Bring to boil over high heat, then continue boiling until a paring knife slides through a potato easily, about 15 minutes.
  • About 5 minutes before the potatoes are tender, start the salmon: Combine the sugar, whiskey and Worcestershire sauce in a large skillet, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet skin side down (or the flat side if the fillets are skinless). Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the salmon becomes opaque about halfway up the sides, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, carefully tip the saucepan into the sink to pour out all but about 1/4 cup cooking water, keeping the potatoes in the pan. Return the saucepan to the stove with the potatoes and a thin layer of cooking water at the bottom, and set over high heat. Cook, shaking the pan often, until the liquid evaporates and the potatoes are crusted in a fine film of salt, about 5 minutes. The pan should be extremely dry and coated in salt and the potatoes will sound crackly when shaken.
  • Flip the salmon and continue cooking until just opaque from top to bottom and a paring knife slides through with almost no resistance, about 5 minutes longer. If you started with a 1-inch-thick fillet, this will be medium-rare. The timing will vary depending on the thickness of your fish and your preferred doneness. If you'd like, use tongs to peel off and discard the skin if there is any. The glaze should have thickened and be syrupy.
  • Divide the potatoes and salmon among serving plates and drizzle any glaze from the pan over the fish.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest salmon possible: Look for fish that is firm and has a bright color. Avoid salmon that is slimy or has an off odor.
  • Cook the salmon gently: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it gently to avoid overcooking. The best way to do this is to pan-fry or bake the salmon at a low temperature.
  • Use a good quality whisky: The whisky in the sauce will add a lot of flavor to the dish, so it is important to use a good quality whisky. A single malt scotch whisky is a good option.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be thick and creamy, but it should not be too thick or it will become clumpy. Simmer the sauce for just a few minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
  • Serve the salmon immediately: Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to ensure that the fish is moist and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Irish salmon with whisky cream sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The salmon is cooked gently and topped with a creamy sauce that is flavored with whisky. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
