Pan-Roasted Salmon on Horseradish Potatoes
Serves 4
-
1 salmon fillet with skin intact, 1½ lb
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
-
4 large baking potatoes, about 14 oz each
-
1 cup heavy cream
-
¼ cup unsalted butter
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
⅛ teaspoon ground white pepper
-
½ cup peeled and finely grated fresh horseradish root
-
¼ cup vegetable oil
-
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
1 teaspoon finely chopped shallots
-
1 teaspoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus 4 sprigs
-
Juice of ½ lemon
For Salmon:
-
Season it on both sides with the salt.
-
Spread the cracked pepper on a work surface and press the flesh side of the salmon into it until all the pepper adheres.
-
Cut the fillet into 4 equal pieces and place them on a platter. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
For Potatoes:
-
Preheat an oven to 400º F. Prick the potatoes in several places with the tines of a fork, place them on a baking sheet in the oven and bake until tender, 40-50 minutes.
-
While the potatoes are baking, make the horseradish cream: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream, butter, salt and white pepper. Bring almost to a boil and remove from the heat. Stir and let cool for 10 minutes. Add the grated horseradish and transfer to a blender. Process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Pour the horseradish cream into the original saucepan and let cool completely. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into another saucepan.
-
When the potatoes are done, reheat the horseradish cream over medium-low heat. Remove the potatoes from the oven, but leave the oven on. Cut the potatoes in half and scoop out the pulp into a bowl. Add the horseradish cream and, using an electric mixer, beat until completely smooth. Keep warm.
-
In a frying pan over high heat, warm the vegetable oil. Place the salmon pieces in the pan, flesh side down. Sauté until golden brown and almost crisp, 3-4 minutes. Carefully turn over the fish and place the pan in the oven. Roast for 4-5 minutes, transfer the fish to a warmed platter and drain the oil from the pan. Add the butter and shallot, place over medium heat and sauté for 1 minute. Return the fish to the pan, add the chopped parsley and lemon juice and heat through.
-
Divide the potatoes among warmed individual plates, top each with a piece of fish, drizzle with some of the pan sauce and garnish with the parsley sprigs.

Monte Cristo Salmon Sandwich
1 serving
Monte Cristo sandwiches are traditionally made with white bread filled with ham, turkey and cheese, dipped in egg, fried and served with sour cream and jam. This is a much healthier version using leftover or canned salmon.
Start to finish: 15 minutes
2 slices whole grain bread
4 ounces cooked or canned salmon
2 tbsp salsa
1 egg
-
Flatten the bread slices as much as you can with a rolling pin or heavy can.
-
Mash the salmon and salsa together in a bowl. If the salmon is cold, heat the mixture in the microwave for 1 minute to take off the chill. Make a sandwich of the bread with the salmon mixture in the middle.
-
Beat the egg in a bowl and pour into a saucer. Dip the sandwich in the egg so that both sides are coated. Fry the sandwich on a non-stick pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes, turning half way to brown both sides. Serve with additional salsa if you like.
