Stuffed Salmon In Flaky Dough Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cut the filets into log shaped pieces, about 2 inches wide by 5 inches long, keeping the filet portions separate. Take 2 sheets of phyllo dough, placing one on top of the other, and brush lightly with melted butter, covering the one side completely.
• Place a portion of salmon (6 ounces), on the edge, nearest you, of the phyllo dough. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Coat the portion of salmon with 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
• Fold the phyllo dough, nearest you, over the salmon and make one complete wrap. Take the sides of the dough and fold them towards the center, and continue rolling up the dough. Brush all sides with butter, covering completely and place on a cookie sheet. Repeat steps for remaining portions of salmon.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until phyllo dough is golden brown.

Steps:

• For the crab cake mix: Gently mix the crab meat with the mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, seafood seasoning and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. Form four 4-ounce crab cakes.
• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• For the salmon: Make a small vertical pocket in each piece of salmon. Place a slice of Brie on the bottom of the pocket, top with 1 crab cake and another slice of Brie.
• Place the salmon in a large baking dish and add enough water to reach one-quarter of the way up the side of the salmon. Bake until pale and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
• For the asparagus and sauce: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the asparagus just until crisp tender and bright green. Drain and plunge into an ice bath to stop the cooking.
• Put the vinegar and shallots in a saute pan and cook over medium heat until vigorously bubbling and reduced by three-quarters, about 2 minutes. Add a pinch salt and pepper, reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the butter. If the sauce is too thin, continue to simmer over very low heat until desired thickness.
• In a second saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper and cook until warmed through. (The asparagus is already cooked so don't saute it too long.)
• Serve the salmon and asparagus over wild rice. Spoon over the sauce.

Steps:

• Season with the pepper, salt, and chives. Cool. When ready to assemble the dish, line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Roll the dough into a 16" square. Cut a 16" long strip from the dough measuring 5" to 6" wide, and place it on the diagonal on the parchment paper. Place one of the salmon fillets on top and sprinkle it lightly with salt and pepper. Spread the cooled mushroom shrimp stuffing evenly on top, then cover the stuffing with the remaining salmon fillet. Take care to arrange the fillets so that the thinner part of the fillet on the bottom corresponds to the larger, thicker part of the fillet on top and the shape and thickenss are the same. Roll the remaining, wider strip of dough up onto your rolling pin, then unroll it on top of the second fillet. Brush off any flour from the surface of the dough, and press it all around the edges, so it conforms to the fish shape underneath. The large top layer of dough will stick around the edge to the layer of dough underneath. Press the two layers of dough gently around the edge so they adhere well together, then palce in the freeezer for about 10 min. to firm up the dough. Preheat the oven to 375F. After 10 min., remove the fish from the freezer, and trim the excess dough all around the edge to create a fish outline with dorsal fins as well as a tail from the extra dough around the salmon. Make a gill with a strip of the trimmed dough, and cut and position a round piece of dough for the eye. Break the whole egg into a small bowl, and remove about half the white. Beat the remaining egg in the bowl with a fork to make a wash for coating the "fish". Brush the salmon with the egg. Holding the tip from a pastry bag (large end down) at an angle, press it (FINISH IN INTRO ABOVE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Brush 2 Tbsp olive oil on bottom and sides of a 1.5 qt baking dish.
• Make a cut lengthwise on each filet, leave ½" uncut space on each side, and on the bottom; create a pocket by gently running tip of sharp knife under each flap and leave ½" space each side.
• In a medium bowl, combine crab meat, rice, butter, cream cheese, garlic and herbs (except salt and dill) well. Spoon filling into each filet pocket; creating a small mound at the top. Brush remaining olive oil onto salmon; sprinkle salt and dill over the salmon and place into baking dish.
• Bake for 20 minutes; check for doneness (thickest part of filet will flake) about 2 minutes before allotted cooking time.

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl.
• Combine cream cheese and blue cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 25 seconds.
• Add cheese mixture, spinach, bread crumbs, garlic, salt, and pepper to the onions; mix until well combined. Put stuffing in the freezer until chilled, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper.
• Cut salmon into 2 portions. Slice each portion in half, leaving a connecting point at one side.
• Heat remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add salmon and fry until colored a bit, about 15 seconds per side. Transfer salmon to the prepared baking dish.
• Take stuffing out of the freezer and make into 2 balls. Put 1 ball into each salmon portion.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 17 minutes. Garnish with lemon juice.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, combine rice, crab, cream cheese, butter, garlic, basil, marjoram, oregano, thyme, rosemary and celery seed., Cut a pocket horizontally in each fillet to within 1/2 in. of opposite side. Fill with stuffing mixture; secure with toothpicks. Place salmon on 2 greased 15x10x1-in. baking pans. Brush with oil; sprinkle with dill and salt., Bake 18-22 minutes or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork. Discard toothpicks before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Dredge the salmon in flour, using more as needed to ensure even coverage.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine crumbed bread, butter, onions, and the parsley and mix evenly.
• Stuff the cavity of the salmon with bread mixture, then close with toothpicks.
• In a baking dish large enough for the salmon to rest flat, lay half the bacon evenly on the bottom.
• Place the salmon on top of the bacon, and then place remaining bacon evenly over the salmon.
• Squeeze lemon juice evenly over the salmon.
• Bake 1 hour to 1 1/2 hour, depending on size of salmon (5 lb about 1 hour and fifteen minutes).
• Remove from oven and take out toothpicks.
• Cut salmon crosswise into about 2 inch pieces.
