Sofias Salmon Log Recipes

Steps:

• Drain and flake salmon, removing skin and bones.
• Combine salmon with next six ingredients; mix thoroughly.
• Chill several hours.
• Combine pecans and parsley (or, just use parsley, I never use pecans).
• Shape salmon mix in 8x2 inch log; roll in nut mix; chill well.
• Serve with Crackers.

Steps:

• 1. Drain, flake, and remove bones if desired, from the salmon. Combine salmon with cream cheese, lemon juice, onion, horseradish, salt, and liquid smoke flavoring. Mix thoroughly and chill several hours or overnight.
• 2. Combine the chopped pecans and parsley on a sheet of waxed paper. Shape the salmon mixture into a log. Roll the log in the parsley and nuts. Place on appropriate serving dish and garnish with parsley leaves if desired. Refrigerate until serving time.

Steps:

• Rinse and drain salmon, picking out any bones or skin you find. Let sit to drain well.
• Prepare White Sauce: In saucepan on stove, heat margarine, flour, salt, pepper, and milk. Stir over low heat until slightly thickening. This should be the consistency of a coffee cream.
• Grease 9x5x3 loaf pan. Preheat oven to 350.
• Beat eggs until light fluffy. Add lemon juice.
• Toss together the bread cubes and salmon. Pour egg mixture over and toss gently. Add white sauce and toss gently.
• Add mixture to loaf pan and gently press to fill loaf pan firmly.
• Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes.
• Before serving, combine soup and water to make a sauce to top loaf.
• You can turn out of loaf pan or serve in pan. Pass around the sauce (in gravy/sauce dish) to pour atop servings. ENJOY!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Rub salmon all over with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange skin side-down on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until medium, 8 to 10 minutes.
• While the salmon roasts, prepare the asparagus: In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add asparagus, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer asparagus to a plate.
• Reduce heat to medium and add butter to skillet. Cook, stirring, until foam subsides and butter is deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. (Be careful not to burn). Turn off heat and stir in lemon juice, capers, peas, parsley and cooked asparagus. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide vegetables among plates. Top with salmon and spoon over any remaining pan sauce. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Drain and flake salmon, remove skin and bones. Combine salmon with next seven ingredients; mix thoroughly. Chill several hours. Combine additional pecans and parsley. Shape salmon mixture into 8x2 log; roll in nut mixture and chill well.
