Pan Seared Walleye With Celery Root Puree And Apple Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter over medium heat in a shallow pot or large saute pan. Add the fennel, celery root, potatoes, apples, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Saute the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cider and tightly cover the pot. Simmer over low heat (I pull the pot halfway off the heat) for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very soft. If the vegetables begin to burn or they seem dry, add another few tablespoons of apple cider or some water.
• When the vegetables are cooked, add the cream and cook for 1 more minute. Transfer the mixture to a food mill fitted with the coarsest blade and process. (You can also use a food processor but the texture will be smoother than with the food mill.) Taste for salt and pepper and return to the pot to keep warm. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a shallow pan combine all the court-bouillon ingredients and bring to a simmer. Place the walleye fillets in the pan, making sure the liquid covers them. Poach the fillets for 5 minutes, until firm to the touch. Remove the walleye from the pan, cover and refrigerate.
• Combine the ingredients for the salad dressing. After the walleye has chilled, gently flake the fillets, checking again that all the bones are removed. Add the dressing to the walleye and mix. Be careful not to break up the walleye any more. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

Steps:

• Place fillet in the beaten egg. Remove. Thoroughly coat in breading. Place in heated frying pan with 3/4-inch of oil in it. Cook until golden brown. Flip and repeat. Place on plate on a bed of leaf lettuce. Add vegetables and choice of starch. Garnish with lemon crown.

Steps:

• Place the celery root in a large pot and cover it with the milk by a few inches. (You may not need to use all the milk.) Add a few pinches of salt along with some freshly grated nutmeg. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer until the celery root is fork tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain, reserving about 1/4 cup milk, then return the celery root to the pot.
• Place the pot over medium heat and let the celery root dry out for a minute or 2. Add the reserved milk and mash or puree using a potato masher or blender until very smooth. Check for seasoning, adding more salt if necessary.

Steps:

• Season both sides of the walleye with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Coat both sides of the walleye fillet with flour, tapping off the excess. Heat the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the walleye on one side for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden. Turn the fillet over and cook until fish is opaque and cooked through. Remove to a plate and keep warm. Add the sliced mushrooms and diced tomatoes to the fish pan and cook until mushrooms are golden and any liquid has evaporated. Add some of the garlic wine sauce and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve the fish over linguini and top with the pan sauce. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepot over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the water, clam base, white wine, and lemon pepper, and simmer until reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix beets, apples, celery root and scallions together. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Whisk together apple juice, vinegar and whisk in olive oil slowly. Pour mixture over beets cover tightly and refrigerate for 3 hours. Romove from refrigerator, toss in watercress and serve.

Steps:

• Place celery root, 1/2 of the lemon juice, and kosher salt in a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain.
• Blend celery root, cream, and butter in a blender until smooth. Push puree into a bowl through a fine-mesh strainer with a wooden spoon or spatula until puree is completely smooth. Drizzle remaining lemon juice into puree and season with salt and cayenne pepper.
