SALMON, DILL AND CREAM CHEESE SPREAD

Steps:

Using on/off turns, blend just until smoked salmon is finely chopped. Season spread with salt and pepper. Transfer to small bowl. Serve with baguette rounds.

SMOKED SALMON SOUFFLé

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a food processor, purée the cream cheese and salmon, and set aside. Using a pastry brush, brush the soufflé dish with two tablespoons of softened butter; then coat with breadcrumbs, shaking off excess. (The breadcrumbs will give the soufflé a rough surface to adhere to as it rises, allowing for a taller soufflé.) Set aside. Mince the shallot and reserve 3 tablespoons.
• Make the béchamel sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, add five tablespoons of butter, followed by the shallot. Sauté until translucent, 1½ minutes, making sure the shallot doesn't take on any color. Lower the heat, add the flour, and cook, stirring continuously until the flour is no longer raw. This is the "roux," the base of béchamel sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. While the heat is on medium-low, slowly whisk the milk and cream into the roux to create the béchamel sauce. When the sauce has thickened to a gravy consistency, scrape into a bowl to cool.
• Make the soufflé base: Separate the eggs into whites and yolks, one at a time; you'll be using all 7 egg whites but only 6 egg yolks. (Use the last yolk for another dish.) Stir the yolks into the béchamel sauce, followed by the salmon-cream cheese mixture. Mince the chives and add 3 tablespoons to the mixture; chop the dill and add 1 tablespoon; finally, thinly slice the green onions on a bias and fold those in as well. Set aside.
• Whip the egg whites and assemble the dish: In a clean, non-copper mixing bowl, add the egg whites and whisk until foamy. Add cream of tartar and continue whisking to the "soft-peak" stage, about 2 minutes. Continue whisking until egg whites are at the "hard-peak" stage, when the peaks hold their shape, about 30 more seconds; do not overmix. Mix a third of the whites into the soufflé base to lighten the base. Then lay the remaining egg whites on top, and gently fold them in by running a rubber spatula around the outside of the bowl and cutting through the center to drape the base over the top of the whites. Do not fully incorporate: some of the egg whites should be visible to keep the soufflé light and airy. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish, gently place on a baking sheet, and bake in the middle of the oven for 50 minutes (no peeking!).
• Remove from the oven and serve: When the soufflé is puffed and golden, remove and serve immediately. (If you want your guests to see the soufflé in its full glory, have them come to oven and watch as it first comes out!)

SMOKED SALMON SOUFFLéS

Steps:

• Put the butter, flour and milk in a pan and cook, stirring over the heat until thickened. Stir in the cheese, in small spoonfuls, and the dill; season to taste, then beat to incorporate.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Butter 6 x 150ml soufflé dishes and line the base with baking paper. Stir the egg yolks into the sauce, add the chopped salmon and lemon. Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then carefully fold into the salmon mix. Spoon into the dishes and bake in a tin half-filled with cold water for 15 mins until risen and golden. Cool; don't worry if they sink.
• To freeze, cool completely, then overwrap the dishes with baking paper and foil. They will keep in the freezer for 6 weeks. Thaw for 5 hrs in the fridge.
• When ready to serve, very carefully turn the soufflés out of their dishes, peel off the lining paper and place on squares of baking paper. Top with the crème fraîche and bake for 10-15 mins at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 until the soufflés start to puff up. Quickly top each with a frill of salmon and a dill sprig. Serve on their own or with some dressed salad leaves.

SALMON, CREAM CHEESE & DILL SOUFFLé RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 375°F. Coat eight 10-ounce ramekins or a 2 1/2-quart soufflé dish (or similar-size baking dish) with cooking spray. Sprinkle with enough breadcrumbs to generously coat the inside, tilting to evenly distribute; tap out excess. Place ramekins on a baking sheet. Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming. Melt butter and oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and cook, whisking, for 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the hot milk and cook over medium-low heat, whisking, until the mixture is the consistency of thick batter, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Whisk in egg yolks, one at a time, until incorporated. Whisk in cream cheese until melted, then stir in salmon, dill and pepper. Clean and dry a large mixing bowl and beaters, making sure there are no traces of oil. (Any fat in your egg whites may prevent your soufflé from rising properly.) Beat egg whites in the bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy. Add salt; gradually increase speed to high and beat until shiny and stiff, but not dry. Do not overbeat: stop when the egg whites hold their shape in the bowl and on the beater but don't look overly dry or lumpy. Using a rubber spatula, stir one-third of the whites into the egg-yolk mixture to lighten it. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites just until evenly distributed. It's OK if a few white streaks remain. Spoon the batter into the prepared dish(es). Bake until puffed and firm to the touch, 20 to 24 minutes for 10-ounce soufflés, 38 to 42 minutes for a 2 1/2-quart soufflé. (Resist the temptation to take a peek until the last 5 minutes of baking-an open oven door will let in too much cool air and may interrupt the rising.) Once out of the oven, even a beautifully puffed soufflé will slowly deflate, so go directly to the table to show off its beauty, then serve it at once. Make Ahead Tip: Prepare through Step 2, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Bring to room temperature before folding in egg whites. Equipment: Eight 10-ounce ramekins or a 2 1/2-quart soufflé dish Tips: White whole-wheat flour, made from a special variety of white wheat, is light in color and flavor but has the same nutritional properties as regular whole-wheat flour. It is available at large supermarkets and natural-foods stores and online at bobsredmill.com or kingarthurflour.com. Store it in the freezer. Room-temperature egg whites will gain more volume when beaten and help your soufflé rise. To bring eggs to room temperature before separating the yolks from the whites, set the eggs out on the counter for 15 minutes or submerge (in the shell) in a bowl of lukewarm (not hot) water for 5 minutes. For the fluffiest soufflé, the egg whites must be completely free of any traces of yolk. Separate the eggs one at a time before adding the white to the mixing bowl; if there are any specks of yolk in the white, throw away the white, clean the bowl with soap and water and start over.
