Smoked Salmon Pickled Recipes

Steps:

• Put the vinegar and sugar into a heavy-based saucepan and bring to the boil, allowing the sugar to dissolve. Add the sliced shallots to the warm liquid, stir through, then tip into a dish and cover with cling film. Set aside.
• Arrange the smoked salmon in the centre of each plate, making sure that the slices slightly overlap, and set aside.
• Put the frisée salad, the chives, capers, a little of the shallot vinegar and some of the shallots into a mixing bowl and toss together. Spoon the mixture over the salmon and serve with a few twists of black pepper, a drizzle of oil and lemon wedges on the side.

Steps:

• First, for the pickles, cut the cucumber into rounds and layer it in a sieve, sprinkling with 2 tsp salt as you go. Set over a bowl and leave for a couple of hours - the salt will draw out the moisture.
• Bring 200ml water to the boil in a pan with the white wine vinegar, sugar, 1 tsp salt, celery seeds and black peppercorns. Leave to cool.
• Peel the carrots and cut them into batons. Clean the radishes really well, then cut them in half lengthways. Squeeze the drained cucumbers of excess moisture.
• Put all the vegetables in a 1-litre sterilised jar with the dill and pour the cooled vinegar over them, then seal with a lid. Leave to sit at room temperature for two days before serving, or keep chilled. Will keep in the fridge for four weeks.
• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and put the salmon fillets on a baking sheet. Brush the fillets with the melted butter and scatter with black pepper. Cook for 14 mins.
• Serve the salmon with some of the pickled vegetables, a generous tablespoon of crème fraîche on each fillet, finished with a spoonful of salmon roe on top.

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes and brine in a resealable container and chill 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine crème fraîche and 2 Tbsp. dill in a small bowl. Spread each toast with 1 heaping Tbsp. crème fraîche mixture. Top toasts evenly with salmon, onion, pickled tomato slices, and remaining 2 Tbsp. dill. Season with pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F, with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet on lowest rack. Drizzle 3 tablespoons oil onto a rimmed quarter sheet pan (9 by 13 inches). Stretch dough to edges of pan.
• Drizzle dough evenly with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; sprinkle with sesame seeds and season with salt and pepper. Top with mozzarella and garlic-herb cheese, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
• Bake on stone until cheese is melted and bubbly, and crust is golden brown and set on bottom, 22 to 24 minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine beet, lemon zest and juice, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Let stand 10 minutes. Remove pizza from oven; let cool slightly. Top with salmon, beet mixture, and herbs. Slice and serve.

Steps:

• In a medium deep ceramic bowl, just wide enough to hold a slice of smoked salmon spread out flat.
• Divide the onion slices into separate rings and arrange alternate layers of smoked salmon and onion in the bowl.
• Combine the oil, wine vinegar and garlic in a separate bowl and whisk well.
• Season with salt and pepper and add the bay leaf.
• Pour the marinade over the salmon and onions, cover tightly and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for 8 to 12 days.
• When serving, drain off the marinade and garnish each salmon slice with onion rings, bay leaves, fresh dill or both.

Steps:

• To prepare the salmon:
• In a small saucepan sprinkle gelatin over lemon juice and soften 10 minutes. In a bowl with an electric mixer beat together mascarpone and 1/2 cup sour cream until combined well. Quarter eggs and with back of a spoon force through a coarse sieve into mascarpone mixture. Add horseradish and stir well.
• Add remaining 1/4 cup sour cream to gelatin mixture and heat over moderately low heat, stirring, just until gelatin is dissolved. Add gelatin mixture to mascarpone mixture and stir well.
• Cut about one third salmon into strips and arrange 1 in every other ridge of a 3-cup brioche or other mold, letting ends hang over edge. Chop remaining salmon into 1/2-inch pieces and fold with chives into mascarpone mixture. Spoon mousse into mold and fold ends of salmon strips over top. Chill mousse, covered, at least 2 hours, or until firm, and up to 2 days. Run a thin knife along inside of each ridge of mold and dip mold into a bowl of hot water a few seconds. Invert a plate over mold and invert mousse onto it.
• With a slotted spoon arrange pickled onions decoratively on and around mousse touching each other, and keeping covered with plastic wrap.
• Brush mushroom rolls all over with melted butter and rearrange, seam sides down and barely touching, in pan. Chill mushroom rolls, covered, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Bake mushroom rolls in upper third of oven 15 minutes, or until golden. Halve rolls crosswise and tie a chive around each half.
• To make the pink pickled onions:
• In a saucepan barely cover onions with cold water. Bring water to a boil and simmer 1 minute. Drain onions in a colander and return to pan with vinegar, salt, and cold water to just cover. Bring liquid to a boil and simmer 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat and cool onions in liquid. Pickled onions may be made 1 week ahead and chilled in liquid, covered. Makes about 2 cups.

Steps:

• Place beans in a 13x9-in dish. Add dill seed and garlic. In a large saucepan, combine water, vinegar and salt. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until salt is dissolved. Pour hot brine over beans. Cool completely. Refrigerate, covered, 2 days., For dip, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese and yogurt until smooth. Stir in parsley, chives, horseradish, lemon zest and juice, dill weed and salt. Stir in salmon. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour to allow flavors to blend., To serve, drain green beans; arrange on a platter. If desired, top dip with dill sprig. Serve dip with beans and, if desired, crackers.

Steps:

• First, lightly pickle the radish slices by putting them in a small bowl with the vinegar for at least 30 mins. Meanwhile, mix the horseradish with the whipped cream in a small bowl and season with salt.
• Lay 100g of the long salmon slices on 4 rectangular plates in a neat rectangle shape. Put 3 discs of beetroot on top of the salmon in different places. Arrange about 6 slices of the pickled radish around the salmon too. Add a few orange segments and some of the preserved lemon.
• Next, shape the horseradish into quenelles by using 2 teaspoons to scoop and roll it. Put 3 quenelles on each plate. Finally, scatter with the pea shoots, and drizzle over a little oil before serving.
