GRILLED SIDE OF SALMON STUFFED WITH CREAMY CORN AND BACON



Grilled Side of Salmon Stuffed with Creamy Corn and Bacon image

Celebrate the summer season with this grilled side of salmon, perfect for a crowd. Stuffed with creamy sweet corn and slathered with a bright green herb butter, it is as beautiful as it is delicious.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large shallot, finely chopped
3 cups corn kernels (from about 3 ears of corn)
8 ounces cream cheese, cubed, at room temperature
Kosher salt
1/2 cup firmly packed fresh parsley, cilantro or basil leaves (or a mixture)
Zest of 1 lemon, plus lemon wedges, for serving
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
One 3- to 4-pound side of salmon, skin on, pin bones removed
Nonstick cooking spray, for the foil

Steps:

  • Add the bacon to a medium skillet and cook over medium-high heat until crispy, about 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon; reserve.
  • Discard all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Add half the shallots and cook, stirring often, until translucent and softened, about 5 minutes. Add the corn and continue to cook, stirring often, until heated through and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream cheese and 1 teaspoon salt until combined. Let cool to room temperature, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the herbs, lemon zest and remaining shallots to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the butter and 2 teaspoons salt and pulse until well combined; set aside.
  • Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes, turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
  • Set the salmon on a cutting board. Use a knife to score the salmon down the middle lengthwise, halfway through its thickness. Working from the center line out toward the edges, cut thin flaps from the score to the edge, like a gatefold, then open them up. Spread half the herb butter on the salmon and spoon the corn mixture down the middle. Sprinkle the bacon on top, then fold the sides of the salmon up to cover the filling. Tie the salmon together in 6 places with butcher's twine. Spread the remaining herb butter on top and sprinkle generously with salt.
  • Stack 3 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil that are 6 inches longer than the salmon and spray the top layer generously with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer the salmon to the middle of the foil and crimp the sides so they form a rim.
  • Transfer the salmon on the foil to the indirect-heat side of the grill and cook, covered, until the salmon is cooked through and the stuffing is hot, about 25 minutes (depending on your grill). Move the salmon to the direct-heat side for 5 minutes to crisp the skin. Using heatproof gloves, carefully transfer the foil with the salmon to a platter for serving. Serve with lemon wedges.

Stuffed Salmon with Balsamic Butter Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound jumbo lump crab meat
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 pound skinless Atlantic salmon or wild salmon fillet, cut into 4 pieces

Salt and pepper
1 1/4 cups balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, cut into 4 pieces

  • For the crab cake mix: Gently mix the crab meat with the mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, seafood seasoning and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. Form four 4-ounce crab cakes.

  • Put the vinegar and shallots in a saute pan and cook over medium heat until vigorously bubbling and reduced by three-quarters, about 2 minutes. Add a pinch salt and pepper, reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the butter. If the sauce is too thin, continue to simmer over very low heat until desired thickness.
  • In a second saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper and cook until warmed through. (The asparagus is already cooked so don't saute it too long.)
  • Serve the salmon and asparagus over wild rice. Spoon over the sauce.

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

For fish
2 pounds plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons herbes de Provence
2 large fennel bulbs (sometimes labeled "anise"; 2 pounds), stalks cut off and discarded
1 (8-pound) whole salmon (preferably wild coho), cleaned, butterflied, and boned, leaving head and tail intact
1/4 cup dry white wine
For sauce
10 saffron threads
1/4 teaspoon hot water
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 large garlic clove
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated fresh orange zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Special Equipment
an adjustable-blade slicer; heavy-duty foil

Steps:

  • Make fish:
  • Put oven racks in middle and lower third of oven and preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Toss tomatoes in a bowl with 1 tablespoon oil, teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence. Arrange tomatoes, cut sides up, in a shallow baking pan and reserve bowl (do not wipe clean).
  • Quarter fennel lengthwise, then slice 1/8 inch thick with slicer. Toss fennel in reserved bowl with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and remaining teaspoon herbes de Provence, then spread out in a 17- by 12-inch heavy shallow baking pan.
  • Roast fennel in lower third of oven and tomatoes in middle of oven, stirring fennel halfway through roasting, until fennel begins to caramelize and tomatoes are browned lightly on edges (but are still juicy) and their juices have accumulated in bottom of pan, 40 to 50 minutes.
  • Remove from oven. If there are no tomato juices in pan, gently press on tomatoes to extract enough juice to measure 2 tablespoons (leave juices in pan). Increase oven temperature to 450°F.
  • Line a 17- by 12-inch shallow baking pan with heavy-duty foil and coat foil with 1 tablespoon oil. Position salmon diagonally in roasting pan, then open fish. Sprinkle inside of fish with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then coat with 1 tablespoon oil. Arrange roasted tomatoes evenly inside fish on bottom half (with head and tail attached), reserving juices in pan (for sauce). Top tomatoes with roasted fennel, then pour wine over vegetables and close fish (like a book) to enclose stuffing (stuffing will not be completely covered). Secure opening with several wooden picks, then rub top of fish with remaining tablespoon oil. If head and tail hang over edge of pan, put a baseball-size ball of foil under head and a golf-ball-size ball of foil under tail to prop them up so that juices run into pan (head and tail will curve upward slightly).
  • Roast salmon in middle of oven until fish is just cooked through (thickest part will be opaque), about 25 minutes.
  • Make sauce while fish roasts:
  • Combine saffron and hot water in a small cup and let stand 1 minute. Blend together saffron mixture, remaining sauce ingredients, and 2 tablespoons reserved tomato juices in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and chill, covered, until ready to use.
  • To serve:
  • Slide whole fish (still on foil) onto a platter. To remove foil, lift head end of fish slightly with a long or wide spatula and push foil toward middle of fish. Lower head end back onto platter and lift tail end in same manner to gently remove foil completely. Serve fish with sauce on the side.
