STEAMED SALMON WITH SNOW PEAS



Steamed Salmon With Snow Peas image

Healthy and delicious. If you think you'll want more sauce, double the amounts of the first 4 ingredients. I use "lite" (lower sodium) soy sauce. In step 5, you may need to lift the steamer basket and replenish the water in the saucepan.

STUFFED SNOW PEAS



Stuffed Snow Peas image

These hors d'oeuvres are so elegant for bridal or baby showers. I always make them ahead. You can season the cream cheese with anything you like. I sometimes make them with plain cream cheese. They are time consuming- but worth it because the presentation is beautiful. Did I mention they taste great too? From the wonderful book 'Showers' by Beverly Clark.

SNOW PEAS WITH ST. ANDRE



Snow Peas with St. Andre image

This is a very popular hors d'oeuvre in Martha's repertoire. Guests cannot believe that someone has actually stuffed a snow pea. This recipe comes from "Entertaining," by Martha Stewart.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Makes 50 to 60 hors d'oeuvres

1/2 pound St. Andre cheese, or Boursin or Boursalt
Fresh mint (optional)

POACHED SALMON WITH SNOW PEAS



Poached Salmon with Snow Peas image

Poaching salmon with lemon zest lends the fish a brightness that is only further highlighted by the crisp snow peas.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Salmon Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 cups water
3 strips lemon zest
4 skinless salmon fillets (4 to 6 ounces each)
1/2 pound trimmed snap peas
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1 bunch trimmed watercress
Olive oil

Steps:

  • Bring water and lemon zest to a simmer in a large skillet. Season salmon fillets and add to pan with snap peas. Cover and cook 5 minutes, until salmon is opaque throughout; transfer to a platter. Drain and toss peas with butter, mint, and watercress. Drizzle with olive oil and season.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, vibrant snow peas. Look for pods that are bright green and crisp, with no signs of wilting or yellowing.
  • To prepare the snow peas, remove the strings from both sides of the pod. This will make them easier to eat and more visually appealing.
  • When cooking the snow peas, blanch them briefly in boiling water to preserve their鮮豔色彩 and crisp texture.
  • For the salmon filling, use high-quality, flaky salmon. Wild-caught salmon is a great option, but farmed salmon can also be used.
  • Season the salmon filling generously with herbs, spices, and lemon zest. This will enhance the flavor of the filling and complement the delicate taste of the snow peas.
  • When stuffing the snow peas, be careful not to overfill them. The filling should be snug, but not so tight that it bursts out of the pod.
  • To prevent the snow peas from drying out during baking, brush them with melted butter or olive oil before placing them in the oven.
  • Serve the salmon-stuffed snow peas immediately, while they are still warm and tender.

Conclusion:

Salmon-stuffed snow peas are a delicious and elegant appetizer or side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making them a great option for busy weeknights or entertaining guests. The combination of tender snow peas, flaky salmon, and flavorful herbs and spices makes this dish a surefire hit. So next time you're looking for a unique and delicious way to enjoy salmon, give salmon-stuffed snow peas a try!
