Best Salmon In Vodka Sauce Recipes

CREAMY LEMON VODKA SALMON PASTA

Steps:

• Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente, as it will finish cooking in (and absorb!) the sauce. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sweat the onion with a sprinkle of salt until it is tender and translucent but not browned, about 5 minutes.
• Pour in the vodka and reduce it down until it is almost gone.
• Add the cream and cook until it just starts to bubble. Gently stir in the cooked salmon and warm through.
• Add the cooked pasta and continue cooking until the sauce begins to thicken, about 2 to 3 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the pasta water.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and zest, Parmesan and fresh dill. Taste and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Garnish with thin lemon slices, fresh dill and more Parmesan.

POACHED SALMON WITH VODKA SAUCE

Steps:

• Wash salmon thoroughly. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Place stock, vermouth and juices in fish poacher or steamer on stovetop.
• On poacher's rack, arrange scallions as a bed. Stuff salmon with as much parsley and dill as will fit in cavity and place fish on scallions. Cover and bring liquid to boil; reduce heat immediately and simmer 20 to 25 minutes, until an instant read thermometer inserted into back of fish, parallel to backbone, reads 125 degrees.
• Take fish out of poacher and remove skin with fingers; it comes off easily while salmon is warm. Place salmon on warmed serving platter and keep warm.
• Pour cooking liquid into small saucepan. Add vodka and bring to boil; reduce to 1/2 cup. Whisk in butter, little by little, until mixture thickens a little.
• Arrange cooked asparagus around salmon and bring whole to the table. To serve, remove head and tail. Cut lengthwise near backbone; remove bone. Cut into portions and serve with sauce.

VODKA AND CITRUS CURED SALMON

Steps:

• Remove any tiny pin bones from the salmon with a pair of needle nose pliers or tweezers. Rinse the salmon under cold running water and pat dry. Place salmon, skin side down, on several large sheets of plastic wrap.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine salt, sugar, dill, vodka and lemon, lime and orange zests. Spread the sugar/salt/citrus mixture evenly over the fleshy side of the fish, pressing it into the flesh. Wrap the salmon tightly in the plastic wrap and place skin side down n a large baking dish. Place a flat glass or ceramic dish on top of the salmon and weight the dish with several heavy cans or a brick and refrigerate for at least 24 hours and up to 48 hours.
• Unwrap the salmon and rinse all of the cure off under cold, running water. Pat dry and slice diagonally into paper-thin slices.

CAPELLINI WITH SALMON AND LEMON-DILL-VODKA SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook onion in oil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened (but not browned), about 6 minutes. Add broth, cream, vodka, and salt and boil over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until sauce is reduced to 2 cups, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in dill, lemon zest and juice, and pepper. Reserve 1/2 cup sauce, then add salmon to saucepan and cook over moderately low heat until fish is just heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
• While fish is heating, cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander. Return pasta to pot, then toss with reserved sauce and cooking water. Serve pasta immediately with fish and sauce spooned over the top.

CLEMENTINE & VODKA-BAKED SALMON WITH BEETROOT CRèME FRAîCHE SAUCE

Steps:

• Put the clementine zest and juice, vodka and honey in a pan, season and bring to a simmer. Bubble for 10 mins until reduced by half. Add the clementine slices and simmer for a further 5 mins until the clementines are softened and a little sticky. Remove them from the liquid and transfer to a plate. Bubble the liquid until thickened to a glossy glaze.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a baking tray with foil or baking parchment and place the salmon in the middle - or on an angle to help it fit if you need to. Using a sharp knife, cut the salmon into 8 fillets, cutting through the flesh but not the skin, as this will hold the whole thing together. Cut the thinner end into slighter wider fillets, so everyone gets a similar portion. Brush the salmon with the glaze, making sure you get in between the gaps, and save a little for brushing on at the end. Lay the candied clementine on top, down the centre, and bake for 20 mins.
• While the salmon is cooking, make the beetroot crème fraîche by mixing all the ingredients together in a bowl with plenty of black pepper and a little salt - save a few chives to sprinkle on top. When the salmon is cooked, reheat the remaining glaze, adding a splash of water if it is too thick, and dab it over the top (wash the brush first as it will have come into contact with the raw salmon). Serve the salmon and sauce as part of a buffet, and let everyone dig in.
