Best Mini Open Faced Corn Cake And Salmon Salad Sandwich With Beluga Caviar Recipes

CORN CAKES AND CAVIAR

Steps:

• 1. Puree the corn and cream; transfer to a bowl. Stir in cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper; mix in eggs and butter to make a batter.
• 2. Place oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add batter to the skillet in heaping tablespoons. Cook until corn cakes are golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels. Continue, adding more oil to the skillet as necessary. (Batter makes about 30 cakes.)
• 3. To serve, arrange 3 corn cakes on each of 8 plates. Top each with 1 teaspoon of crème fraîche and a small dollop of caviar.

CORN CAKES WITH FLORIDA CAVIAR AND CHIVE CREMA

Steps:

• For the chive crema: Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until thoroughly blended. Serve immediately or store, refrigerated, in an airtight container for 2 days.
• For the corn cakes with caviar: Heat the olive oil in a medium-size saute pan over medium heat. Add the corn, shallots, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and the black pepper, and cook, stirring, until the corn and shallots are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Combine the eggs and cream in a large mixing bowl and whisk to blend well. Add the cornmeal, flour, masa harina, baking powder, cayenne, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the water. Mix well. Fold in the corn and shallot mixture.
• Heat 1/2 teaspoon of the vegetable oil in a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, but not smoking, gently drop the batter, a tablespoon at a time, into the pan. You can cook about eight cakes at a time. Cook until the cakes are lightly golden on both sides, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Repeat until all of the oil and batter are used up. Drain the cakes on paper towels. Sprinkle with the Creole seasoning and serve warm with the chive crema, accompanied by a tray of garnishes. These can be prepared in advance and passed around on trays.

KORN FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F in a convection oven for 350 degrees F in a standard oven.
• Mix all ingredients to form thin batter.
• Spritz the cookie sheet with the non-stick spray. Line with a sheet of parchment paper, and then spritz it again.
• With an offset spatula, spread a thin layer of batter onto the parchment. Bake until crisp and tanned, about 20 to 30 minutes (rotating the pan once, for even baking). Repeat.
• Once all the flatbread is cooked, break it into bite size pieces with your hands. Serve with osetra caviar and caviar garnishes: creme fraiche, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and chopped chives.

SALMON CAKES SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat.
• Combine salmon, egg white, bread crumbs, crab boil seasoning, hot sauce, parsley, roasted red pepper and salt and pepper. Form 4 patties, 1-inch thick.
• Add vegetable oil to hot pan, 1 turn of the pan. Add patties and cook about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
• Combine greens, chopped orange and red onion in a salad bowl. Combine orange zest, vinegar and a splash of juice from the zested orange in a small bowl. Whisk in extra-virgin olive oil to desired bite and constituency for dressing. Dress and toss salad. Season the salad with salt and pepper, to taste then divide among 4 plates. Top salads with warm salmon cakes and serve with Ham and Rosemary Scones or warm pumpernickel bread and butter, as a close-second choice.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Mix together biscuit mix, rosemary, cream, salt, ham and orange zest. Pile mixture into 4 large mounds or 8 small mounds onto a nonstick cookie sheet. Sprinkle with a little sugar and bake. Bake scones for 10 to 12 minutes for large scones, 7 to 8 minutes for small scones.

OPEN FACED SALMON SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toast the bread for about 5 minutes then set aside to cool.
• Combine half the salmon and all the cream cheese in a blender or food processor and puree. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on each slice of bread. Spoon the remaining spread into a piping bag fitted with a star tip, if desired.
• Top each slice of bread with smoked salmon. Using a 3-inch oval cutter cut out about 16 sandwiches. Pipe rosettes of the cream cheese mixture onto each of the sandwiches, and then press parsley around the edge of each oval of bread.
• Arrange the sandwiches on 4 plates. Garnish the sandwiches with cucumber and salmon roe and serve.

SALMON CAKES WITH SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mix the salmon, corn, egg, 3 tablespoons each breadcrumbs and tartar sauce, the roasted red peppers, parsley, lemon zest and 3/4 teaspoon Old Bay in a large bowl. Gently form into eight 3/4-inch-thick patties and freeze until just firm, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: Whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons tartar sauce, the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon water, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay, and black pepper to taste in a large bowl.
• Put the remaining 5 tablespoons breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl. Press the salmon cakes in the breadcrumbs to coat both sides. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon cakes and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the cakes are heated through, 6 to 8 more minutes.
• Add the greens to the bowl with the dressing and toss. Serve the salmon cakes with the salad, more tartar sauce if using, and lemon wedges.
