Scandinavian Salmon Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
• Combine the salmon, scallions and cooked shells in a large bowl.
• Add the dressing.
• Toss gently.
• Cover and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
• Garnish with eggs before serving.

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:

• Break the salmon into very large flakes, removing any skin and bones, and place the salmon in a bowl. Add the celery, red onion, dill, capers, raspberry vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Season, to taste. Mix well and serve cold or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in rice and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cover pan tightly. Cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed the water, 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse the rice under cold water until cool.
• Combine the rice with peas, cucumber, dill, scallions and smoked salmon in a serving bowl.
• Whisk together yogurt, oil, lemon zest and juice, pepper and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl; pour over the salad and stir to combine.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F
• Roast the potatoes for 30 to 40 minutes, until fork tender.
• Let cool until you can handle them, then peel and cut into 1/2-inch dice.
• Combine the potatoes, shrimp, smoked salmon, crabmeat, eggs, shallots, anchovies, cilantro, and chives in a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, mayonnaise, and sour cream, stirring to blend well.
• Gently fold into the salad and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Arrange the lettuce leaves on a platter and serve alongside the salad.
• Instruct your guests to roll up 2 tablespoons or so of salad in a lettuce leaf, like a spring roll, and eat.

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into wedges and steam until fork tender, about 18 minutes. Add green beans during the last 2 minutes of cooking, and then let it cool to room temperature.
• In a large bowl, whisk together viniger, honey, mustard, mayonnaise and oil.
• Roughly cut salmon into chuncks, and to dressing along with the potatoes, green beans, parsley, and green onions. Toss gently, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Either serve warm or let refrigerate to serve chilled.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Boil the potatoes in a large pan of salted water. Bring to the boil and cook for 15 mins, or until tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, zest the lemon, set the zest aside and thinly slice half the lemon. Put the salmon on a baking sheet, season and top with the lemon slices. Roast in the oven for 12-15 mins, until just cooked through. Leave to cool.
• Mix together the crème fraîche, dill, parsley, mustard, the reserved lemon zest and one squeeze of the remaining lemon half. Toss together the cooled potatoes with the onion, radish and dressing. Flake over the salmon and season. Take the part-squeezed lemon half with you to squeeze over just before eating.

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.

• 4. Arrange the lettuce leaves on a platter and serve alongside the salad. Instruct your guests to roll up 2 tablespoons or so of salad in a lettuce leaf, like a spring roll, and eat.
