Best Vanilla Salmon With Wild Mushroom Fricassee Recipes

SALMON FRICASSEE

Steps:

• Season salmon with salt and pepper. Heat a large straight-sided skillet or wide, shallow pot over medium-high; add 1 tablespoon butter and oil. When foam subsides, add salmon, skin-sides down. Cook, undisturbed, until skin is crisp and fish turns opaque halfway up sides, about 5 minutes (if butter begins to brown, lower heat). Transfer salmon to a plate, skin-sides up.
• Reduce heat to medium-low; add shallots, celery, fennel, and mushrooms, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of skillet; season with salt and pepper. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften but don't develop color and mushrooms become glossy, 7 to 9 minutes. Stir in flour; cook 1 minute. Add wine and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until liquid just thickens, about 30 seconds. Add clam juice, tarragon sprigs, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, then partially cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 10 minutes.
• Return salmon to skillet, skin-sides up, along with any accumulated juices. Partially cover and continue simmering until just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer salmon to a plate; remove and discard herbs.
• In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolks and cream. Slowly pour in 1/2 cup cooking liquid, whisking constantly. Stir cream mixture into skillet. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and lemon juice, stirring until butter melts. Return salmon, skin-sides up, and any accumulated juices to skillet; simmer, uncovered, 30 seconds. Top with tarragon leaves and fennel fronds and serve with rice or bread.

SALMON WITH SAUTéED MUSHROOMS, SHALLOTS AND FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300ºF. Cover a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil the foil. Place the salmon on top. Season with salt and pepper. Fill a roasting pan with boiling water and place it on the oven floor.
• Place the salmon in the oven and bake until the fish flakes and white bubbles of protein appear on the surface, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the fillets. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, cook the mushrooms. Heat a large, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. When the oil is hot (you can feel the heat when you hold your hand above the pan), add the mushrooms and cook, stirring or tossing in the pan, for a few minutes, until they begin to soften and sweat. Add the remaining oil, turn the heat to medium, and add the shallots, garlic, and herbs. Stir together, add 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and cook, stirring often, for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the shallots and garlic have softened and the mixture is fragrant. Add the wine and cook, stirring often and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the wine has just about evaporated. Taste and adjust seasonings. Remove from the heat.
• Serve the salmon with a spoonful of mushrooms on top or on the side.

Steps:

• Chanterelles:
• Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Add butter and oil and swirl pan until butter is melted. Add mushrooms, thyme, and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing often, until mushrooms are golden brown and tender, 5-8 minutes; set aside.
• Salmon and assembly:
• Prepare a grill for medium-low heat. Using a sharp knife, make a slit along belly of salmon, running from rib cage to tail. Turn salmon on its back and cut along both sides of backbone without piercing through skin on other side. Carefully remove backbone without tearing skin, then remove pin bones with small needle-nose pliers or tweezers. Season inside of fish with salt and pepper and stuff lemon slices, dill, thyme, and tarragon inside cavity. Tie wet kitchen twine around fish in several places to secure. Place on a rimmed baking sheet; rub skin all over with oil.
• Carefully place fish on grill grates and grill, uncovered, until flesh on bottom side is mostly opaque but still slightly translucent in the center, 12-18 minutes. Carefully turn fish and cook on the other side to the same doneness, 8-10 minutes. Transfer fish to a clean rimmed baking sheet and let rest at least 10 minutes.
• Place skillet with chanterelles directly on edge of grill to reheat while you portion the fish. Remove strings and peel back skin from salmon; discard. Break flesh of top fillet into large pieces and transfer to a platter. Discard aromatics and remove skin from bottom fillet, break up, and transfer to platter. Season with more salt and pepper and spoon warm chanterelles over.
