Salmon Roe Omelets With Scallion Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Remove the skin and bones from the salmon; cut into 1/2-in. chunks. In a 10-in. skillet, saute the salmon, onion and green pepper in 1 tablespoon butter. Remove and set aside., In a small bowl, beat eggs. Melt remaining butter in same skillet over medium heat; add eggs. As eggs set, lift edges, letting uncooked portion flow underneath. , When the eggs are set, spoon salmon mixture over one side, then sprinkle with cheese and pepper; fold omelet over filling. Cover and let stand for 1-1/2 minutes or until the cheese is melted., If desired, make a tomato rose. With a small sharp knife, peel the skin in a thin continuous strip, starting from the base of the tomato. Roll up tightly, skin side out, from the stem end. Tuck end of strip under rose and place on omelet. From green pepper, cut two leaves. Arrange on each side of tomato rose.

Steps:

• In 8-inch omelet pan or skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the butter over medium-high heat until butter is hot and sizzling.
• Pour half of the beaten eggs (about 1 cup) into pan. As eggs begin to set at bottom and side, gently lift cooked portions with spatula so that thin, uncooked portion can flow to bottom. Avoid constant stirring. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until eggs are thickened throughout but still moist.
• Spoon 1/4 cup of the cream cheese in dollops evenly over omelet; sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the salmon. Tilt skillet and slip spatula under omelet to loosen. Remove from heat. Fold omelet in half; let stand 2 minutes. Transfer to serving plate; keep warm.
• Repeat with remaining ingredients to make second omelet. Cut each omelet crosswise in half to serve; sprinkle with chives.

Steps:

• (Note: If using a nonstick skillet, skip this step.) To prepare a black steel skillet: Heat skillet over medium heat until it starts smoking. Spread salt in an even layer. Use several layers of paper towels to rub the salt into the skillet, releasing any impurities stuck to the bottom; be very careful, as the skillet is hot! When the bottom is smooth, turn off heat and discard salt. You have just created a clean, nonstick surface for the eggs-so you're ready to cook!
• Make clarified butter: In a small saucepan, melt 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter over medium heat and bring to a simmer, 5-7 minutes. As white foam collects on the surface, skim off with a small ladle or spoon and discard; these are the milk solids. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue skimming until the butter is clear. Pour the clarified butter through a cheesecloth-lined strainer to catch the smaller milk solids, and set aside. (Note: Clarified butter has a higher smoke point than regular butter, allowing for cooking at higher temperatures. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several months.) Cut smoked salmon into ¼-inch slices. Set aside. Crack eggs into a medium bowl. Add a few pinches of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Use a fork to whisk until thoroughly combined, about 1 minute.
• Heat the black steel skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon clarified butter and swirl to coat the bottom and partway up the sides. Pour the eggs into the hot skillet. Begin quickly and gently shaking the skillet, while also stirring the eggs vigorously with a fork (or a rubber spatula, if you're using a nonstick skillet). Use small circular movements to loosen the curds and lightly scramble. While scrambling, occasionally run the fork around the edge of the skillet, moving the cooked egg back into the center, 30-45 seconds. Switch to a heatproof rubber spatula; continue shaking the skillet, loosening the cooked egg from the edges, and lightly scrambling until the eggs are half curdled, about 20 more seconds. Tap the skillet on the stovetop several times to level the eggs. Turn heat to low. Working quickly, place salmon slices in an even layer across the center of the eggs. Use a zester to add about ½ teaspoon lemon zest over the salmon, followed by chopped chives.
• Tilting the skillet slightly away from yourself, begin rolling the omelette: First, loosen the edge closest to the handle, then roll it toward the middle. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet and let it melt along the exterior of the omelette.When the omelette is half-rolled, run the spatula around the far edge to release the eggs from the skillet. Then tilt the skillet more sharply and tap it firmly on the stovetop to loosen the omelette. Bang on the handle with your free hand to help the far edge begin to roll up, and use the spatula as needed to fold it toward the center of the omelette. Holding the skillet over the plate, roll the omelette and gently flip it onto the plate, seam side down.
• If necessary, use your hands or a spatula to gently perfect the shape and tuck in any loose edges. Spread remaining ½ tablespoon butter across the top of the omelette. Garnish with a spoonful of caviar on top and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Beat 3 eggs and milk together, season with salt and pepper. In a hot saute pan melt butter and swirl around entire pan. Add eggs to pan and swirl around pan so eggs come up sides of pan. After a few minutes, when bottom of eggs start to turn light brown, flip eggs with spatula and then place pieces of smoked salmon scattered on top. Add a dollop of sour cream and spread around. Sprinkle with chives. When bottom of omelet turns brown, transfer to plate and cut into wedges. Serve with potato pancakes. Yield: 1 omelet;
• Peel potatoes. Core and peel apples. In a medium bowl, grate potatoes, apples and onion. Mix together. Add flour, egg and salt and pepper. In a saute pan heat oil. Form mixture into hamburger sized patties and add to hot oil in pan. Flip when edges appear golden brown. Cook other side for about 2 minutes or until brown and drain on paper towels.;

Steps:

• Whisk eggs and heavy cream together in a large mixing bowl.
• Take a large nonstick pan and set over medium heat. When the pan is heated add the butter and spread out evenly over the surface of the pan. Once it starts to foam turn the heat down and add eggs. Using a spatula swirl the eggs quickly in a circular motion as you gently shake the pan back and forth to cook evenly, you don't want any color.
• Once the eggs begin to set, drop the pieces of salmon, small spoonfuls of cream cheese, and green onions over the top. Season with salt and pepper, then as you slide it out onto your cutting board, roll 1 side over the top as you go to form an omelette.
• Slice crosswise into portions and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Pat salmon dry, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Using a vegetable peeler, peel the zest of the lemon in wide strips. Cut the lemon into wedges for serving.
• In a large, ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over medium. When it's foaming, add the scallions and the lemon peel, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns brown and smells nutty, 3 to 6 minutes. (If you're using a light-colored pan, you'll see the browned bits in the skillet. If you're using a dark-colored pan, look for dark spots on the white parts of the scallions; those are browned bits of butter and a sign to remove the skillet from heat.)
• Immediately remove from heat, and add ⅓ cup of water. Stir to combine. Lay the salmon, skin side down (if there's skin), into the sauce. Cover the skillet and bake until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes, or slightly longer if you're cooking a single, large piece. (You'll know the salmon is done when the fish flakes or an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 120 degrees.)
• Eat the salmon with a spoonful of sauce and a squeeze of the lemon.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Boil the potatoes for 10 mins until just tender, drain and steam-dry for a few mins. Toss the potatoes in the oil and butter, then tip onto a baking tray. Roast for 20 mins. Push the potatoes to one side and put the salmon on the other side, and add the lemon halves. Season. Return the tray to the oven for 15-20 mins until everything is cooked through - check the centre of the salmon with the tip of a knife.
• Cook the peas in simmering water for 2 mins, drain and tip into a bowl. Add the crème fraîche and herbs, if using. Break the salmon into chunks to serve and squeeze over the lemon. Serve the salmon with the potatoes and peas, and some extra crème fraîche on the side, if you like.

Steps:

• In a small bowl stir together yogurt and scallions. Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick slices and in a large saucepan of boiling salted water cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain potatoes and return to pan. Stir in all but 2 tablespoons yogurt mixture with salt and pepper to taste and keep warm, covered. Into remaining yogurt mixture stir salmon roe.
• In a bowl with an electric mixer beat whites with a pinch salt until they just hold soft peaks. In another bowl whisk whole egg, yolk, flour, water, and salt to taste until frothy. Gently fold in whites.
• In a 10-inch non-stick skillet heat butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides, tilting skillet to coat bottom, and pour in half of egg mixture, tilting skillet to spread mixture evenly over bottom.
• Spoon half of roe mixture down center of omelet and cook, covered, over moderately low heat until eggs are just set, about 2 minutes. Gently loosen omelet with a rubber spatula and, tilting skillet, slide omelet onto a plate. Fold omelet into thirds over filling and keep warm while making 1 more omelet in same manner.
• Serve omelets with potatoes.
