SALMON ROLL WITH GREEN ASPARAGUS TIPS AND PARSLEY PUREE

Ingredients

800 grams potatoes, 1 shallot, 1/2 bunch of curly parsley, 800 grams salmon, 2 egg whites, 400 grams green asparagus tips, 2 teaspoons grain mustard, 1/2 lemon, 50 grams breadcrumbs, 1 knob of butter 3 tablespoons sour cream, salt and pepper, fish salt.

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Peel the potatoes and boil them in a pot of salted water until tender. Chop the shallot very finely and chop the parsley finely, put aside for now. Cut about four slices of salmon (I asked my fishmonger to do this) Cut the rest of the salmon into cubes and throw them in the blender with the egg white (if you don’t have a blender, I did it with the mixer, it goes just as well). Blend very finely. Now put the green asparagus tips in a bowl of salted water and cook until tender. Take two teaspoons of grain mustard 1/2 lemon, 50 grams of breadcrumbs, pepper and salt in the blender and cut again until everything is mixed and a whiter color. Put the salmon in a mixing bowl and add half of the parsley and the finely chopped shallot. Mix well with a mixing spoon. Add a little salt and pepper as desired. Take a slice of salmon and spoon some of the salmon mince into it and roll it up. Then fry the rolls in a pan with butter, color both sides in the butter and put the fish in the oven until you are ready with the potatoes. When the potatoes are done, drain them, mash them with a potato masher, mix in 3 tablespoons of sour cream, salt them and add the rest of the parsley. Serve tip on. Make a pile of potatoes, press the pile down (flat) and place a roll on top with the asparagus around it and two on top of the roll, finish with a little butter from the salmon pan. Bon appetit !

OVEN COOKED FISH WITH LEMON MUSTARD SAUCE AND TAGLIATELLE

Ingredients

4 cod fillets 150grams to 180grams boneless, 100grams unsalted butter or even Soja alpro baking and frying (I used less fat), 250ml cream, 2 cloves of finely chopped garlic, 2 tablespoons dijon mustard, 1.5 tablespoons lemon juice, fish salt, pepper, 2 shallots finely chopped, 100ml white wine, chopped fresh parsley and lemon slices (if desired).

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 200°c. Take a baking dish and grease it with some butter to prevent the fish from sticking to the bottom. Place the pieces of fish in the dish and make sure they do not touch. Season the fish with fish salt and some pepper. Take a saucepan, melt a small amount of butter and briefly fry the shallots and garlic, then add the butter one by one, allow to melt, add Dijon mustard spoon by spoon, stirring vigorously with a whisk. At first, the sauce seems to be slipping, stir well and, when it is more dense, add the wine gradually while whisking. Then carefully add the lemon juice while whisking. Continue beating vigorously, it should be a thick mass. Once this is achieved, gradually add the cream while whisking. The sauce is ready, taste it and if necessary add mustard or pepper and not too much salt as the cod is already well seasoned. Satisfied with your sauce, pour it over the fish pieces and put in the oven for 12 min to 20 min, everything depends on the thickness of your fish. I had thick pieces so it took me about 20 min. It is better to check every now and then, if you can stick a fork through the fish it is done. While the fish is cooking in the oven, cook the tagliatelle, according to the package or with homemade or fresh tagliatelle. Bon appetit !
