Best Salmon Trilogy Part Ii Gravad Salmon Recipes

SALMON TRILOGY (PART IIL): GRAVAD SALMON PASTA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Cook spaghetti al dente according to package directions. Only drain spaghetti, do not rinse.
• Remove as much marinade as possible from Gravad Salmon. If very salty, rinse slightly and pat dry with paper towels.
• Cut Salmon into bite-sized pieces.
• Put eggs, milk and cream into a small bowl and mix. Add Salmon and pepper. Mix.
• In an oven-proofed pan (10 inch in diameter and hight enough) cook onion in olive oil on medium high heat until soft, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• If necessary: cut Green Beans into pieces.
• Add Green Beans, Spaghetti and Salmon-milk-mixture to onions and mix well. NOTE: The Frittata will not be stirred during cooking. So this mixture should have the "final look".
• Cover pan with a lid or aluminium foil and cook for 25 minutes on low heat. Do not stirr. The border of the Frittata should become dry (like an omelet).
• Meanwhile preheat Grill in oven (480 F, 250 C).
• After cooking, remove lid from pan and put Frittata under Grill. Bake Frittata until surface is cooked and slightly brown coloured (about 5 to 10 minutes).
• Take Frittata out of the oven and let set for 5 minutes.
• Detach Frittata from the pan. Invert Frittata over a plate larger than the pan and let Frittata slid onto plate.
• Cut Frittata in wedges and serve with a green salad.
• VARIATIONS: You can also use canned Salmon or Thuna for this recipe, but you have add salt to taste. You can replace Green Beans by peas. You can use any other Pasta.
• NOTE: Salmon Trilogy, Part I (Potato baked Salmon, #127652), Part II (Gravad Salmon, #127934).
• NOTE: Cooking time for Spaghetti is not included.

MARK BITTMAN'S GRAVLAX

Steps:

• Fillet the salmon or have the fishmonger do it; the fish need not be scaled. Lay both halves, skin side down, on a plate.
• Toss together the salt, brown sugar and pepper and rub this mixture all over the salmon (the skin too); splash on the spirits. Put most of the dill on the flesh side of one of the fillets, sandwich them together, tail to tail, and rub any remaining salt-sugar mixture on the outside; cover with any remaining dill, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Cover the sandwich with another plate and top with something that weighs a couple of pounds -- some unopened cans, for example. Refrigerate.
• Open the package every 12 to 24 hours and baste, inside and out, with the accumulated juices. When the flesh is opaque, on the second or third day (you will see it changing when you baste it), slice thinly as you would smoked salmon -- on the bias and without the skin -- and serve with rye bread or pumpernickel and lemon wedges.
