Salmon Stew Scandinavian Style Recipes

Steps:

• Steam potatoes til soft, drain water.
• Using a Dutch oven, add milk, salmon, potatoes, butter, salt and pepper.
• Cook on medium heat stirring constantly for approximately 20 minutes.
• Do not allow to boil or milk will curdle.
• Remove from heat and serve with crackers.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine stock with wine and reduce by approximately one-third over moderate heat.
• In a skillet over medium high heat, cook bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the bacon fat. Add mushrooms and onion to the fat and cook until the mushrooms are lightly browned.
• Combine the reduced stock and wine mixture with cream and bring to a bowl. Add potatoes and cook until just tender.
• Add the mushroom mixture and salmon to the cream and potatoes.
• Simmer for 5 minutes or until salmon is almost cooked through.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Just before serving, add chopped dill. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Butter 4 individual, shallow, flame-proof casseroles and set aside. Trim and discard the thin belly section from the salmon fillets and season the fillets on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the salmon in the center of the casseroles and surround the fillets, in this order, with the peas, fava beans, snow peas, bacon, scallions and lettuce. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper. Lay the butter slices over the vegetables. (Recipe may be made ahead to this point several hours ahead; cover and chill.)
• Pour the fish fumet into the dishes and place each dish on top of a stove burner turned to high heat. Bring the fumet to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-high and cook for 5 minutes, until a metal skewer inserted into the center of the salmon for 5 seconds feels barely warm when touched to your lip; the salmon will be rare.
• Sprinkle the chopped mint over the vegetables and lay the mint sprigs on the salmon. Put the casseroles on serving plates and serve immediately.
• Remove the gills and eyes from the fish, or have your fish store do it. Cut the heads and bones across into 4-inch pieces. Put them in a shallow pan and cover with cold water: Let stand for 1 hour, changing the water twice. Drain.
• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, fennel, leek, peppercorns, salt, parsley and bay leaf. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook until the vegetables are softened but not browned, about 4 minutes. Add the fish bones and cook, stirring from time to time, until the bones and any flesh around the bones turn from translucent to white, about 12 minutes. Add the wine and water and bring to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes, skimming off the foam as it rises to the top. Remove from the heat and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Strain the fumet through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing firmly on the solids to extract as much of the flavorful liquid as possible. If you have more than 3 cups of fumet, place the liquid in a clean saucepan and boil until reduced to 3 cups. Store, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan and add the peppers, onion and potatoes. Cook, stirring regularly for 5-8 mins until golden. Then add the paprika, garlic, thyme and tomatoes. Bring to the boil, stir and cover, then turn down heat and simmer for 12 mins. Add a splash of water if the sauce becomes too thick.
• Season the stew and lay the salmon on top, skin side down. Place the lid back on and simmer for another 8 mins until the salmon is cooked through. Scatter with parsley, if you like, and serve.

Steps:

• To make hard-boiled eggs, place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let sit for 12 minutes. Rinse in cool water. When cool enough to handle, peel the eggs and rinse off any bits of shell. Cut each egg into 8 wedges. Set aside.
• To make the caper-onion mayonnaise, combine the mayonnaise, yogurt, grainy mustard, capers, dill, red onion and black pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
• To assemble the sandwiches, toast the bread, if desired, and place on a work surface. For each sandwich, spread 2 teaspoons/8 grams caper-onion mayonnaise on each slice bread. Top with 1/2 cup/10 grams greens, 2 slices tomato, 2 ounces/56 grams smoked salmon and 4 wedges of egg. Sprinkle with additional dill.
