BBQ POTATO CHIP-CRUSTED SALMON WITH WATERCRESS SALAD

Steps:

• For the salmon: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the salmon in the center skin-side down. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spread the Dijon evenly on the flesh side of the salmon.
• In a food processor, combine the BBQ chips, sugar, chili powder, scallions, garlic and lime zest and pulse until combined and the consistency of coarse bread crumbs. Press the mixture onto the mustard on the flesh side of the salmon.
• Bake until the chip mixture is golden brown and crunchy, about 15 minutes.
• For the salad: In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, vinegar, lime juice and jalapeno. While whisking, drizzle in the olive oil. Add the watercress, mango and onions and season with salt and pepper, tossing to coat.

POTATO AND HORSERADISH CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Place a rack about 4 inches from the broiler element and preheat.
• Put the potato in a medium saucepan, cover with water by 2 inches, and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, lower the heat, and simmer until very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and heat. Season the salmon all over with salt and pepper. When the butter's foaming subsides, place the salmon, in the skillet and cook, turning once, until well-browned, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet.
• Put the cooked potatoes in a small bowl with the 2 teaspoons salt, 2 tablespoons butter, half-and-half, and horseradish and, using a fork, mash until fluffy. Season with pepper, to taste.
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan. Using your hands, press about 1/4 of the potato mixture onto the top of each salmon fillet, to form a thin crust. Lightly brush the potato with the melted butter.
• Place the salmon under the broiler and cook until still slightly pinkish inside and the crusts are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to serving platter and garnish with the chive segments. Serve immediately.

POTATO-CRUSTED SALMON

POTATO-CRUSTED SALMON WITH CHIVES AND SCALLION SAUCE

Steps:

• Grate the potatoes using the large holes of the grater.
• Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Season the fish lightly with salt and white pepper. Generously spread one side of each fillet or steak with the mustard (for fillets, spread mustard on the rounded side, not the skin side).

Remove the wrap and season the potatoes with salt and white pepper.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• In an ovenproof, nonstick frying pan, heat the olive oil. When hot, place the fish very gently in the pan, with crust side down, using a large spatula to avoid breaking the crust. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown. Flip the fish carefully to the other side and finish cooking in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the center of fillet is opaque in color.

POTATO CHIP CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Lay the side of salmon, skin side down, in the center of the baking sheet. Season it lightly with salt and pepper.
• Crush the potato chips, lime zest and dill together in a bowl until the chips resemble coarse crumbs. Mix in 2 tablespoons of oil until incorporated.
• Coat the salmon with a thin, even layer of potato chip crumbs. Pat them on the fish gently so they stay put.
• Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chip coating is nicely browned. Use 2 spatulas to transfer the salmon to a serving platter, putting one at either end and lifting them up together so the salmon is in one piece. Lay it gently on the serving platter and put a fork and a knife on the table by the platter so that people can serve themselves. You can also serve the salmon right on the baking sheet-there's no shame in that, either.

• In a small pot over medium heat add the blanched potatoes and dressing and bring to a slow simmer. Season with salt and pepper and keep aside.
• With a very hot skillet, sear the salmon, coriander side down, with a little olive oil. Cook on 1 side for approximately 1 to 2 minutes, and then flip over and place on a small oven proof platter to finish in the oven for about 5 minutes.
• In a bowl, mix the arugula with the lime juice, black pepper, and salt.

POTATO-CRUSTED ALASKAN SALMON WITH ARUGULA, QUINOA SALAD AND LEMON BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• Make the Vinaigrette: In a bowl, whisk together herbs and vinegar. While whisking, drizzle in the oil to make a smooth dressing. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Make the Quinoa Salad: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the quinoa and cook until tender. Strain and transfer to a bowl. Add the tomato, onion, parsley, oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Set aside. (The salad can be made up to 3 days ahead of time and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
• Make the Salmon: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Peel and thinly slice the potatoes 1/8-inch thick on a mandoline. Pulse the olives in a food processor until roughly chopped (not pureed). Season the salmon with salt and pepper, arrange on a clean work surface, and coat the tops with the olive paste. Shingle the potato slices over the tops of the fillets, folding the slices down the sides. Season the potato slices with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place fillets in the skillet, potato side-down, and cook until lightly brown. Using a spatula, flip the fillets and transfer them to a baking sheet. Bake the salmon to the desired temperature, 7 minutes for medium-rare or 15 minutes for medium-well.
• Meanwhile, make the Beurre Blanc: In a non-reactive saucepan, combine the wine, shallot, lemongrass, and peppercorns. Bring to boil and reduce the liquid to about 2 tablespoons. Remove the pan from heat and let cool until bottom of the pan is just warm--not hot. Return the pan to low heat and whisk in butter a few pieces at a time to form a smooth sauce (the butter should emulsify, not melt.) Strain through a sieve and keep warm.
• When ready to serve, place some of the quinoa salad in center of 4 plates. Toss arugula in dressing and divide evenly among the plates. Place a salmon fillet on each plate and drizzle with beurre blanc and basil oil. Serve immediately.
