Salmon Roe Topped Baked Potatoes With Crème Fraîche Recipes

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:

• Make the slaw:
• In a bowl toss together the cabbage, the dill, the oil, the vinegar, and the salt and chill the slaw, covered.
• Make the potato salad:
• Cut the potatoes, unpeeled, into eights and in a steamer set over simmering water steam them, covered for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are just tender. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl, toss them while they are still warm with the oil, the vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste, and let them cool, stirring gently once or twice until they are lukewarm. Add the crème fraîche, the roe, and the lemon juice, stirring the salad gently to avoid breaking up the potatoes.
• Arrange the smoked salmon around the edge of a platter, spread the slaw in the center, and mound the potato salad over the slaw.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees, and brush six 8-ounce ramekins or ovenproof custard cups with butter. Place the ramekins or cups on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in shallots and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook until very soft, 7 to 10 minutes, reducing heat if necessary to prevent browning.
• Stir in 6 tablespoons cream, the crème fraîche, dill, lemon zest and remaining 1/4 teaspoon. Remove from heat. Divide mixture among the ramekins.
• Crack 2 eggs into each ramekin and float 1 tablespoon of cream on top of each, then sprinkle tops with salt and pepper. Bake until egg whites are just set, and yolk is still runny, 12 to 16 minutes. (The eggs will look slightly puffed at the sides of the ramekins, but still jiggly in the center and that's O.K. The eggs will continue to cook once out of the oven.) Remove from oven and transfer ramekins onto individual plates for serving.
• To serve, top each ramekin with some of the smoked salmon and a little more dill. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan with a lid. Cook the leek for 5-10 mins until soft but not coloured, then pour in the stock. Simmer for a few mins until reduced slightly then add the crème fraîche and season. Cook for 1 min more.
• Tip in the peas and beans, nestle in the salmon fillets, then turn down to a simmer and cover. Cook for 12-15 mins, depending on the thickness of the salmon, until cooked through. Sprinkle on the chives and serve with mashed potato, if you like.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with a rack in center. Bake potatoes directly on rack until darkened slightly, beginning to wrinkle, and easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 1 to 1 1/2 hours (depending on size).
• Working one at a time, immediately wrap potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and slam down onto a countertop (this ensures a light, fluffy texture). Slash potatoes to open, season, and top generously with dollops of crème fraîche and scoops of caviar. Serve immediately.
