SALMON WITH LOBSTER MASHED POTATOES





Ingredients:





4 eight-to-ten ounce pieces of fresh salmon fillets, skinless


陆 cup canola oil


McCormick's Season All


4 heaping portions of your favorite mashed potato recipe


Fresh vegetables of your choice (asparagus is a nice touch)


2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley


2 tbsp. chopped green onions


4 lemon wedges





Lobster Sauce





1 live Maine lobster, 1 录 pound


1 quart heavy whipping cream


1 medium onion, diced


2 stalks celery, diced


2 carrots, peeled and diced


1 bay leaf


1 tsp. black peppercorns, whole


录 cup flour, all purpose


陆 cup butter, salted


2 tbsps. tomato paste


陆 cup cream sherry


1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves, stem removed


Salt and fresh-ground black pepper





Preparation:





Lobster Sauce





1. Prepare lobster by cutting in half lengthwise through the head and body first. Remove tail halves, and claw and knuckle sections. These are the sections with the meat for the sauce. Cut the body into two-inch pieces.


2. In a two-quart stock pot heat the butter over medium heat. Add all diced vegetables, lobster, peppercorns, bay leaf, and thyme. Cook on medium to medium-high heat, stirring continually for ten minutes or until the lobster shells start to turn red. Remove just the lobster pieces that contain meat and let cool for ten minutes.


3. Stir in flour and cook on medium heat, stirring continually for another 5 minutes.


4. Deglaze pan with sherry, then add cream.


5. Remove lobster meat from the shell, and set aside. Place leftover shells back into the lobster cream. Let reduce on low heat to desired consistency. (We suggest thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.)


6. Cut lobster meat into half-inch chunks.


7. Strain lobster sauce into a smaller pot and discard shell/vegetable mixture.


8. Stir in lobster meat and season sauce to taste with salt and pepper just before serving.





Grilled Salmon





1. Lightly brush both sides of fillets with olive oil and season with McCormick's Season All.


2. Pre-heat grill on medium-high heat and place salmon on, skin-side up. Grill for 4-5 minutes until well marked.


3. Turn fish over and continue grilling another 5-6 minutes or until your fresh fish preference is reached.





Chef's Tip:





When serving, put a heaping mound of mashed potatoes in the center of a large dinner plate. Pour about two ounces of lobster sauce over the potatoes. Place salmon on two-thirds of the potato. Place another two ounces of sauce over part of the fish. Finish plate with fresh green onions on the potatoes, fresh parsley on the fish, a lemon wedge and your favorite vegetable on the plate.

Try grilling it. Or one of my favorite ways is to make herb butter-just melt butter, throw in your favorite herbs and let it harden again. Then put salmon in a piece of foil, but pats of herb butter in the foil packet and then fold the edges to close it up. Put on the grill or the in the oven. It's just delicious! I like to put dill in my herb butter, but use whatever you want, get creative!
my recipe is the most easy way to cook salmon....





Salmon Tail


Lemon


Salt , White Pepper





1st ~~ Clean the salmon tail...


2ND ~~ Cut half of thee lemon to a little piece


3rd ~~ Take the lemon juice from another half of it, to put it on the top of the salmon...


4th ~~ Some Salt, and White pepper...

For salmon fillets





I like to do the followings:





#1. Flake into pieces and stuff in the bell peppers.





#2. Wrap in foils, top with orange slices or grapfruit meat or lemon slices and bake in 375 degree oven.





#3. Grill with fresh herbs especially rosemary to give as a good flavoring for the salmon.





#4. Steam with Ginger and green onion for natural tastes.
This was originally for the grill. You're supposed to wrap each one in its own foil pouch. On the bottom, shave zucchini and yellow squash. (I used a potato peeler.) Chop an onion, olives, and tomato and add that to the squash. Salt and pepper (I add garlic powder because we love garlic here.) and drizzle some olive oil. Salt and pepper the salmon, either steaks or fillets, and put it on top of the veggies. Drizzle some olive oil on the fish. And grill. Be careful when you open the package because of the steam. I did this in the winter without the pouches in the oven on 450, I think. It's yummy, easy, and you have all your vegetables done, too.
