Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped
Salt and black pepper
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 thick-cut salmon fillet, about 1 1/4 pounds
1 pound frozen puff pastry, thawed enough to be rolled easily
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup fish stock
1/2 cup Champagne
1/4 cup minced shallots
1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon fines herbes (parsley, tarragon, chives, dill)

Steps:

  • In a small, deep bowl, blend together the butter, tarragon, a half teaspoon of salt, four grinds of the pepper mill and the lemon juice.
  • Cut the salmon into four serving pieces. Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into the side of each piece, trying to make the cut as deep as possible without cutting through the other side. Divide the tarragon butter into four portions and stuff into the fish.
  • Roll out the puff pastry to a thickness of about an eighth of an inch. Divide into four squares and brush lightly with cold water. Lay each piece of fish on top and roll the pastry over to cover, pressing down to seal, then trim away the excess. Arrange on an ungreased baking sheet with a rim and brush the pastry with the beaten egg. Chill at least half an hour.
  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Start the sauce by combining the stock, Champagne, shallots and mushrooms in a saucepan. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half. Add a half cup of the cream and cook until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Strain, then keep warm. Whisk the remaining cream in a deep bowl until it starts to thicken.
  • Bake the salmon for 12 minutes or until the pastry is lightly browned. Transfer each packet to a warm serving plate and slice into four or five pieces on a slight diagonal. Add the fines herbes to the sauce, whisk in the whipped cream and spoon alongside the packets.

SIMPLY ELEGANT SALMON IN CHAMPAGNE SAUCE WITH FRESH DILL



Simply Elegant Salmon in Champagne Sauce With Fresh Dill image

Elegant enough for company, yet quick and easy to prepare! Would be a lovely dinner for New Year's Eve, with a glass of bubbly. Adapted from Delia Smith's recipe.

Provided by BecR2400

Categories     European

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 middle-cut skinless salmon fillets (6-7 oz/175-200 g each)
1 cup champagne
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, plus a little extra for greasing
2 medium shallots, finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy cream (double cream)
6 teaspoons keta salmon caviar, optional to garnish
3 sprigs fresh dill, to garnish
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 fresh lemon, cut into 6 wedges

Steps:

  • First of all, smear a little butter over the base of a large frying pan, then arrange the fillets in it.
  • Now slowly pour the Champagne over the salmon (it will foam quite a lot, but not to worry), then bring it to a simmer over a medium heat. Now spoon the Champagne over the top of the fillets before putting the lid on.
  • Gently poach the salmon, covered, for about 8-10 minutes. The tip of a knife inserted into the thickest part will show if it is cooked when you just ease the flesh back.
  • While the salmon is poaching, melt the butter in a medium saucepan and cook the shallots in it over a gentle heat for 5-6 minutes, until softened and golden but not browned.
  • When the salmon is cooked, carefully lift the fillets on to a warmed dish, cover them with foil and keep warm.
  • Next, add the flour to the buttery shallot juices, stir it in and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
  • Now gradually add the salmon poaching liquid to the pan, a little at a time, then blend in the cream, whisking until the sauce is smooth. Let it come to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, then season with salt & pepper to taste.
  • Serve the salmon fillets on warmed plates with a little of the sauce spooned over and a teaspoon of keta (optional) and a sprig of dill on top, along with fresh lemon wedges and hand the rest of the sauce round in a warmed jug.
  • Very nice accompanied with fresh, shelled peas, or a green salad with plenty of cucumber and a lemony dressing.

OVEN STEAMED SALMON WITH CHAMPAGNE-BUTTER SAUCE



Oven Steamed Salmon With Champagne-Butter Sauce image

Recipe is from the March/April 2001 issue of Cuisine. The salmon could stand on its own, or be paired with a Holandaise. The Champagne-Butter Sauce has plenty of lemon to cut the richness of the fish and still has a little sweetness from the champagne.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb fresh salmon, center cut, skin left on (cut into 4 equal portions)

  • Place the rack on top of the pan in the oven: oven steam salmon 15-18 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached. Prepare the sauce while the fish steams.
  • To test fillets for doneness, gently squeeze the sides -- they should spring back, not feel too soft or firm. And the color should be coral, not opaque.
  • Champagne-Butter Sauce:.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, saute shallots in 1 T. buttter until soft ( do not bown). Add champagne, broth, and lemon juice; simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minute.
  • Reduce heat to mediumlow and stir in heavy cream. Whisk in cold butter by tablespoons, stirring constantly. Do not add more until the previous piece has melted completely.
  • Strain the sauce through a fine mesh strainer. Stir in the chopped chives and salt to taste. Serve immediately, or remove from heat and hold, following the instructions below.
  • Holding sauce -- Transfer sauce to a bowl, then nest it in a larger bowl of hot water. Cover loosely with plastic and stir often. Don't let it get too hot (it may break) or too cold (it will solidify).

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

Salmon, Rice, Pastry
1/2 cup long-grain white rice
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1/2 cup minced leek (white and pale green parts only)
6 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, chopped
2 sheets frozen puff pastry (one 17 1/4-ounce package), thawed
4 6-ounce (4x2 1/2-inch) skinless salmon fillet
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Dill Sauce
2/3 cup bottled clam juice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/4 cups crème fraîche or whipping cream
3 tablespoons minced fresh dill

Steps:

  • For salmon, rice, pastry:
  • Bring medium saucepan of salted water to boil. Add rice; boil uncovered until just tender, about 18 minutes. Drain.
  • Melt butter in heavy medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add leek; sauté until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms. Cover skillet; cook until mushrooms release their juices, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Uncover skillet. Increase heat to medium-high; sauté until liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Add rice. Season with salt and pepper. Cool completely.
  • Butter large baking sheet. Roll out 1 pastry sheet on floured surface to 12-inch square. Cut into 4 equal squares. Divide rice mixture among centers of squares, mounding in oval shape with ends toward 2 corners of pastry. Set salmon atop rice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bring pastry corners up around salmon (pastry will not enclose salmon completely.) Roll out remaining pastry sheet on floured surface to 13-inch square. Cut into 4 equal squares. Lay 1 square atop each salmon fillet, tucking corners under bottom pastry to enclose salmon completely. Pinch edges together to seal, brushing with egg mixture if necessary to adhere. Arrange salmon packages, seam side down, on prepared baking sheet. Cover and chill 30 minutes. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Keep chilled.)
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush top of pastry with egg mixture. Bake until golden and thermometer inserted into fish registers 145°F, about 30 minutes.
  • For dill sauce:
  • Combine clam juice and wine in heavy small nonaluminum saucepan. Boil until reduced to 1/3 cup, about 9 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Whisk in creème fraîche. Boil until reduced to 1 cup, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in dill. Season with salt and pepper.
  • If crème fraîche is unavailable, heat 1 cup whipping cream to lukewarm (85°F). Remove from heat and mix in 2 tablespoons buttermilk. Cover and let stand in warm draft-free area until slightly thickened (24 to 48 hours, depending on temperature of room). Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Transfer salmon packages to plates. Spoon Dill Sauce around and serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pastry is cooked through, pre-bake it for 15 minutes before adding the salmon and sauce.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the salmon fillets, as this will help the sauce penetrate the fish.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish, as this will prevent the pastry from cooking evenly.
  • If you don't have any champagne on hand, you can substitute white wine or chicken broth.
  • For a richer sauce, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Serve the salmon in pastry with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
