Peppercorn Salmon Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the cream cheese, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, 1 tablespoon water and a large pinch of pepper in a medium bowl until completely smooth. Fold in the smoked salmon and scallions to combine well. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper if needed. Transfer to a small serving bowl and serve with vegetables and/or crackers.

Steps:

• Cream the cheese in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until just smooth. Add the sour cream, lemon juice, dill, horseradish, salt and pepper, and mix. Add the smoked salmon and mix well. Chill and serve with crudites and/or crackers.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the first six ingredients. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir until brown sugar and salt are dissolved. Remove from the heat. Add the cold water to cool the brine to room temperature., Place salmon in a large resealable plastic bag; carefully pour cooled brine into bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 4 hours, turning occasionally., Drain and discard brine; rinse salmon and pat dry. Spread honey over fillet; sprinkle with peppercorns., Add wood chips to grill according to manufacturer's directions. Place salmon on greased grill rack, skin side down. Grill, covered, over indirect medium heat until fish flakes easily with a fork, 45-50 minutes.

Steps:

• Stir salmon, cream cheese, sour cream lemon juice, garlic, parsley, dill, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl.

Steps:

• Cut the salmon fillet slightly on the bias into four pieces of equal weight. Set aside.
• Peel the onions and cut them crosswise in half. Cut the half into quarters. Cut the quarters into 1-inch cubes. There should be about 5 1/2 cups.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy casserole and add the onion pieces. Cover. Cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. The onions will start to brown. Uncover and add the vinegar. Cook briefly until the vinegar is almost evaporated and then stir in the honey. Cover tightly. Cook 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle the salmon pieces with salt. Coat each piece with oil and equal amounts of coarsely cracked black pepper.
• The salmon may be cooked on a grill or under the broiler. Preheat the grill or the broiler to high. If the fish is to be broiled, place the pieces skin side down on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet under the broiler with the fish about 4 inches from the source of heat. Leave the broiler door partly open. Cook 3 minutes and turn the pieces; continue cooking about 3 minutes more. If the salmon is to be grilled, place the pieces on the grill skin side down. Cook about 3 minutes and turn the pieces; cook about 3 minutes more. Transfer the fish to a warm platter.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan and add the lemon juice and herbs. When the mixture starts to bubble, pour it over the salmon pieces. Serve the salmon with equal portions of the onions on the side.

Steps:

• Spread 1/2 the black pepper on a plate.
• Smear 1 tsp olive oil over one side of the salmon fillets.
• Lay the fillet, oiled side down in the pepper.
• Lift and put on a baking sheet, peppered side up.
• Repeat the process with the second fillet.
• Bake at 350 F or 180 C for around 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Use a mortar and pestle (I use a coffee grinder) to grind the ppercorns together with the salt. Or you can use a rolling pin or meat mallet to crush the peppercorns.
• Press peppercorn mixture onto one side of each salmon fillet.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Place several of the salmon fillets, peppercorn side down, into the hot oil. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden. Use a spatula to turn the fillets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Place the fillets into a baking dish. Repeat until all the fillets have been sauteed. You may need to add more oil to the pan.
• Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The salmon should be medium rare in the center.
• Add the sun-dried tomatoes and oil to the skillet. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the white wine and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the butter until just melted. Pour the sauce over the fillets and serve.
