HERB CRUSTED SALMON AND ARTICHOKES SAUTEED IN HERB-INFUSED BUTTER

Steps:

• For the salmon: Oil the bottom of a casserole dish. Place salmon in dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Chop and combine the following in a bowl: shallots, garlic, herbs, lemon zest, chile, lemon juice, olive oil. Cover salmon with mixture, and place in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a fork pulls out smoothly from thickest part of the salmon.
• For the artichokes sauteed in herb infused butter: In a large skillet over medium high heat, add butter and oil. Saute onions, garlic, chile, herbs, reduce heat, making sure garlic doesn't burn. Once oil is infused, place artichoke, heart side down, into oil. Saute for a few minutes, and then add enough water to steam them. Cover and reduce heat. Steam artichokes gently for up to 2 hours, or until flesh removes from leaves easily. More water will need to be added to the pan periodically. Serve with lemon-garlic-butter for dipping.

SALMON IN HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Melt the butter and squeeze in lemon juice and add crushed garlic, cilantro and green onions and mix well. Place salmon fillet on a piece of aluminum foil that is large enough to completely wrap and seal the fillet. After placing the salmon on the foil, brush or pour the butter mixture on the salmon. Seal the salmon in foil. Place on the barbecue grill and cook for 10 to 12 minutes per side. Any longer will dry out the salmon. Cut in portions and serve immediately.
• Fish can also be cooked in a preheated 350-degree F oven for 35 to 40 minutes.

SALMON WITH SMOKED SALMON BUTTER

Steps:

• Use a knife to mince smoked salmon. Place in a small bowl. Add butter and, with a fork, mash together until well combined. Add lemon zest and dill and mash in. Scoop butter onto a work surface, form into a cylinder about 2 inches in diameter, wrap in plastic and freeze. Have 4 dinner plates warming.
• Heat a large heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, on medium-high. Add oil and brush to coat entire surface. Pat fish dry and place fillets, skin side down, in pan. Increase heat to high and cook about 3 minutes, until skin has browned. Turn the fillets and sear on high until flesh side has browned and is cooked to desired degree of doneness, another 2 to 3 minutes for medium to medium-rare.
• While fish cooks, remove butter from freezer and slice into 4 patties. When fish is done, place a fillet, skin side down, on each dinner plate. Dust surface of fish with salt and pepper, place a portion of smoked salmon butter on top of each fillet and serve.

HERBED BUTTER AND SMOKED SALMON SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, fold together the butter, herbs, capers and lemon zest. Spread the butter onto each slice of bread. Top half of the slices with salmon, followed by an even layer of sliced radishes. Drizzle lemon juice over radishes and sprinkle lightly with salt. Form into sandwiches with remaining bread slices. Trim off the crusts and cut sandwiches into quarters, or use cookie cutters. Serve immediately or cover with a tea towel until ready to serve.

SMOKED SALMON TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the herb butter, combine all the butter ingredients in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat until mixed, but do not whip.
• For the sandwiches, have the store slice the bread lengthwise on a meat slicer into 1/4-inch-thick slices. (If that isn't possible, you can slice it crosswise with a very sharp knife.)
• Lay out 8 slices of bread and spread them all with a thin layer of herb butter. Place smoked salmon on 4 of the slices. Top with the other 4 slices of bread, butter side down. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and wrap with plastic. Refrigerate until the butter is very cold. Place the sandwiches on a cutting board. With a very sharp knife, cut off the crusts, cut each large sandwich in half crosswise, and then cut each half diagonally twice to make a total of 8 small triangles. (If the bread was cut crosswise, follow the assembly directions, then cut off the crusts and cut diagonally, twice, to make 4 small triangles.) Serve chilled.
