Best 6 Salmon Skewers With Smashed Potatoes Recipes

SALMON SKEWERS WITH SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat broiler, with rack in top position. In a medium saucepan, bring potatoes to a boil in salted water and cook until tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thread 3 pieces salmon onto each of eight 6-inch wooden skewers. Place skewers in a single layer on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Brush salmon with oil and season with salt and pepper. Fold foil over exposed areas of skewers to prevent burning.
• Broil salmon until opaque throughout, about 6 minutes, flipping once. Remove from oven and drizzle with honey.
• Drain potatoes. While still hot, gently smash each potato with the back of a spoon to flatten slightly and place, along with spinach and butter, in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Serve salmon skewers with potatoes and spinach.

HICKORY SMOKED SALMON SKEWERS

Steps:

• Cut the salmon into 2-inch chunks. Fold the lemon coins in half and thread the salmon and lemon onto the soaked skewers, alternating between the salmon and lemon. Place the salmon skewers in a shallow dish and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt and pepper to taste. Pour marinade over the skewers, turning to coat, and marinate for 15 to 30 minutes.
• While the skewers are marinating, prepare your grill. Cut a large piece of Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil and firmly fit it over the grill grate. Preheat the grill to medium heat. For a charcoal grill, place 4 to 5 hickory wood chunks on top of hot coals and close the grill cover to let the smoke accumulate. For a gas grill, place wood chunks in a smoker box or in a large piece of foil; fold up side to make a packet. Poke holes with a fork and place on the grill. Close the cover to let smoke accumulate.
• Open the grill and lightly oil the foil.
• Cook the salmon skewers for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until fish is opaque in color. Plate the salmon skewers and sprinkle with parsley. Serve hot.

GENTLY COOKED SALMON WITH MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in salted water to cover, until soft; this will take about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, smear a baking dish with the 1/4 teaspoon of butter and place the salmon, skin side up, on the butter. Let sit while you preheat the oven to 275 degrees.
• Mince a tablespoon or so of the chives for garnish. Tear the rest of the chives into 2-inch lengths and place in the container of a blender with the oil and a little salt. Blend, stopping the machine to push the mixture down once or twice, until the oil has a cream-like consistency.
• When the potatoes are done, put the salmon in the oven and set the timer for 12 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes, then mash them well or put them through a food mill. Return them to the pot over very low heat and stir in the butter and-gradually-the milk, beating with a wooden spoon until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper as necessary. Keep warm.
• Check the salmon after 12 minutes; the skin should peel off easily, it should flake, and an instant read thermometer should display about 120 degrees. It may look underdone, but if it meets these three criteria it is done. (If it is not done, or you prefer it better done, return it to the oven for 3 minutes more). If you like, scrape off the gray fatty matter on the skin side (or just turn the fish over). Sprinkle with some coarse salt and cracked black pepper.
• To serve, place a portion of mashed potatoes on a plate; top with a piece of salmon. Drizzle chive oil all around the plate and garnish with minced chives.

SALMON KEBABS WITH HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to 375 degrees F.
• Add the olive oil, Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the salmon, red onion, and lemon quarters to the bowl and gently toss to coat.
• To assemble the kebabs, thread a few pieces of red onion onto an 8-inch-long metal skewer (see Cook's Note). Next, add a piece of salmon, followed by a quarter of lemon. Continue threading the ingredients onto the skewer until you have 4 pieces of salmon on the skewer. Set the finished kebab aside and continue the process with the remaining skewers and ingredients.
• Generously oil the grates of the preheated grill. Add the salmon kebabs to the grill and cook, turning halfway through, until nice grill marks have formed, and the salmon easily releases from the grill, 4 to 6 minutes. (This can alternatively be done on an indoor grill pan.)
• Remove the salmon to a serving platter and drizzle with the Herb Sauce. Serve with lemon wedges.
• Add the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a small food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse until the garlic is finely chopped. Add the basil and parsley leaves and blend until finely chopped. Transfer the herb sauce to a bowl to serve with the grilled salmon.

CITRUS SALMON SKEWERS

Steps:

• Set the oven to broil. Line a half-sheet pan (13-by-18 inches) with foil.
• Combine the citrus zests, juices, parsley, dill, paprika, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. While stirring, add the olive oil until combined; set aside.
• Add the salmon to a separate bowl. Pour half of the sauce mixture over the salmon, tossing to completely coat it. Thread the salmon onto four 15-inch metal skewers. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
• Add the salmon skewers to the sheet pan crosswise, allowing the skewers to hang off the edges and keeping the salmon from touching the pan.
• Broil until the edges of the salmon become golden and it is cooked through (no need to turn), 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bed of arugula.
• While the salmon rests, spread the Greek yogurt in a shallow bowl. Top with the remaining sauce mixture.
• Garnish the salmon with more parsley and dill. Serve with the Greek yogurt on the side.

SALMON-AND-MASHED-POTATO CROQUETTES

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine potatoes and enough cold water to fully submerge them. Bring to a boil. Season with 2 teaspoons kosher salt and boil until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain; let potatoes cool 5 minutes, then press through a ricer or colander and stir until smooth (or mash until smooth). Transfer to a large bowl; let cool completely.
• Stir egg yolks, scallions, lemon zest and juice, flour, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper into mashed potatoes. Fold in salmon. Form mixture into golf-ball-size rounds, then flatten into 1/2-inch-thick disks. Transfer to a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours or, loosely covered, up to 1 day.
• Whisk whole eggs in a shallow bowl and season with kosher salt and pepper. Place panko in another shallow bowl and season. Pour a scant 1/2 inch oil into a medium heavy-bottomed skillet, such as cast iron. Heat over medium until oil shimmers and bubbles form instantly around a breadcrumb dropped in (350°F on a deep-fry thermometer). Working in batches, dip croquettes in egg, allowing excess to drip back into bowl, then coat in panko, pressing to adhere.
• Fry, flipping once and adjusting heat as needed to maintain a level temperature, until crisp and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet, then sprinkle with flaky salt; keep warm in a preheated 200°F oven while frying the rest. Serve warm, with dipping sauces.
