Instructions
Watch how to make this recipe.
Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
Mix lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce together and pour over the salmon fillets.
Saute the salmon in olive oil in a skillet on both sides until golden brown, approximately 2 minutes on each side.
In a clean skillet, heat 1/4 cup of olive oil to lightly smoking.
Add cleaned and cut mushrooms and saute on high heat until light brown.
Remove from skillet and add 1 tablespoon butter and chopped shallots.
Saute until golden brown.
Add the Madeira and veal stock and reduce to a syrupy consistency.
Add cream, herbs, mushrooms, and small pieces of the remaining butter and mix well.
Serve with Potato Croquettes.
Cut the potatoes into 2-inch pieces, and cook in salt water until fork tender.
Drain water from the potatoes then place the pot back on the heat.
Add the potatoes to the pot and steam for 2 to 3 minutes to dry the potatoes well. Mash the potatoes until creamy. While they are still hot, add butter, egg yolks, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Mix well with a wooden spoon until smooth.
Let cool until easy to handle. Form potatoes into golf ball-sized balls.
Beat the egg and place into a shallow bowl.
Mix hazelnuts and bread crumbs together in a shallow bowl.
Roll potato balls in flour, then into the beaten egg, then into hazelnut/bread crumb mixture.
Place balls in the refrigerator and let stand for 2 hours.
Heat oil to 350 degrees F in a 1-quart casserole.
Place potato balls in oil and fry until golden brown.
Remove from oil and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Salmon works really well with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. One wine you could try is Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Chardonnay Wine. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 18 dollars.
Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Chardonnay Wine
"Our Indian Wells Chardonnay delivers an appealing tropical fruit character typical of warm sites like the Wahluke Slope. I like this Chardonnay's ripe pineapple and butterscotch flavors and rich, creamy texture. Try it with Scallops, scampi or pasta with rich sauces." - Bob Bertheau
