  • 2 shallots , sliced4918-1 (1)
  • 5 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt , divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper , divided
  • 3/4 cup stout beer
  • 2 tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Arrange mushrooms in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring 2 or 3 times, until nicely browned, about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly.

    Meanwhile, in a small heavy saucepan, stir together beer, brown sugar and mustard and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until mixture just starts to thicken, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and set glaze aside. (Reserve all but 1/4 cup of the glaze for serving.)

    Pat fish dry and season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place skin-side down in a large baking dish. Toss mushrooms with 2 tablespoons of the glaze and spoon them around fish. Brush fish with additional 2 tablespoons of the glaze. Roast until fish is just cooked through and flakes easily, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve each piece of fish with a generous portion of mushrooms and reserved glaze on the side.

    Snowy Morrison’s hot smoked salmon

    Posted on by
    • download200g thick salmon fillets, bones removed but skin left on
    • 1 tbs dark rum
    • 1 tbs soft brown sugar
    • 1 tbs cajun spice
    • 1 tbs salt flakes
    • 1 tbs tomato sauce
    • 1 tbs low-salt soy sauce
    1. To make the secret rub, combine the brown sugar, Cajun spice and salt, then mix in the tomato sauce and soy sauce

    2. Wash the salmon with the rum and leave to marinate for 30 minutes

    3. Massage in the secret rub and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours

    4. Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature

    5. Prepare a kettle barbecue for indirect cooking, building a small coal fire on both sides of the grill and allowing it to burn quite low until almost out

    6. Add 2 handfuls of pre-soaked woodchips to both sides and allow them to start smoking well, with the lid on (temperature should be around 80-100°C)

    7. Place the salmon on the grill, away from the heat source. Replace the lid and smoke for 40 minutes. Do NOT lift the lid because if you’re looking, you’re not cooking

    8. Check the fish after 40 minutes, when it should be just cooked, and remove from the barbeque and allow it to rest before serving

    Salmon en Croute, Laura Calder

    cq5dam.web.266.200

    1 salmon fillet (about 1 1/2 pounds)
    1 pound asparagus, trimmed
    Salt
    1/4 cup creme fraiche
    3 to 4 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
    Zest of 1 lemon
    Freshly ground pepper
    1 pound puff pastry (2 sheets)
    1 egg, lightly beaten

    Skin and bone the salmon and set aside. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees

    Cut the tips off the asparagus. Reserve the stems and the tips in boiling salted water until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain well, in ice cold water, then drain again, leaving to sit so that all the water comes off. Puree the asparagus and stir in the creme fraiche, dill and lemon zest to blend. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. 

    Lay 1 sheet of puff pastry on a damp baking sheet with the long edge facing you. Lay the salmon on the pastry, like a picture in its frame. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lay the raw stems of asparagus on top of the salmon, like pencils. Spread the asparagus puree over top. 

    Brush the margins of the pastry with the egg wash. Lay the second sheet of pastry over the salmon and press the edges to seal, like a giant ravioli. Trim the edges, leaving a 1-inch/2.5 cm border. Press with the tines of a fork, then, with the dull edge of a knife, scallop the edges. Make 2 or 3 slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Brush all over with the egg wash and bake until puffed up and golden brown, about 20 minutes. 

    Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. This dish is also good at room temperature.
