 Roasted Salmon Fillets with Dill Sauce By Robert Reed |
Fresh salmon fillets as well as smoked salmon can be easily purchased in many markets throughout the city of Kyiv. Though not in the title to this recipe, I combine the flavors and textures of both fresh and smoked salmon. One can say that this is a mutation of many recipes I have tried in the past. I prefer to buy boneless/skinless fillets and it helps to know the sellers to insure the freshness of the product.
Needed:
1 1/2 pound center-cut salmon fillet (can be several smaller cuts).
6 once of smoked salmon coarse ground.
2 medium size dill pickles chopped.
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice.
1-cup mayonnaise.
2 tablespoons of fresh chopped dill.
1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar (or cider vinegar).
Salt and pepper.
Instructions:
Dill Sauce:
In a mixing bowl whisk mayonnaise, chopped dill, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and vinegar to a creamy smooth mixture and then set aside.
Smoked salmon pickle mixture:
Combine the coarse ground smoked salmon with chopped pickles and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon. Mix well and set aside.
Salmon:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F Coat an ovenproof heavy skillet lightly with oil and heat on top of stove at medium-high heat. Salmon fillets should be rubbed with salt and pepper on both sides. Once the oil is very hot (short of smoking) place salmon fillet into skillet. After one minute flip the salmon over to sear the other side for an additional minute. Remove skillet from top of stove and place in oven. Roasting for two minutes for medium rare, four minutes for medium well. Remove skillet from oven; transfer fish to serving plate pour over dill sauce: sprinkle smoked salmon pickle mixture over entire fillet. Then serve. I additionally garnish with green capers but this is optional.
