Hot Smoked Salmon, Cress & Potato Salad

Serves up to 8 people as a main course

This is a great summer meal when you can get fresh greens from the farmer's market.

Ingredients:

1 lb. small new potatoes

1/4 lb. fresh French green beans

12 quail or 6 small hen eggs

3/4 lb. hot smoked salmon

5 spring onions

2 avocados

1/2 lb. fresh water cress

1 head of fresh chicory divided into leaves

spicy mesclun mix (with mustard greens etc.)

Dressing:

1 heaping Tbsp. whole grain mustard

1 heaping Tbsp. clear honey

3 Tbsp. cider vinegar

8 Tbsp virgin olive oil

Method:

1) Make the dressing by whisking all the ingredients together in a bowl or shake in a salad dressing container with a little salt and pepper. Make up to 2 days in advance and keep refrigerated. Cook the new potatoes in boiling water for about 10 minutes, until just tender. don't overcook or they'll be mushy. Drain, put under cold water to stop cooking, and slice in half.

2) While the potatoes are cooking, blanch the green beans in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, until cooked but still slightly crunchy. Put under cold water to stop cooking. Cook the eggs for about 5 minutes, until hard boiled. Cool under cold water, peel and halve if quail eggs, quarter if hen eggs. 

3) Separate the smoked salmon into bite-sized chunks in a bowl. Slice the spring onions into the salmon. (All of the above steps can be done in advance.) 

4) Just before serving, slice the avocado.

5) A layered salad rather than a tossed salad, start with a large shallow salad bowl or a platter. Scatter the water cress, chicory leaves and mesclun over the platter, reserving some of the cress. Scatter the potatoes, salmon and eggs over the greens, and drizzle about 2/3 of the dressing over the salad. Scatter the remaining cress over the top. Serve the remaining dressing on the side. 

Smoked Fish Risotto

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
⅔ cup finely chopped red onion
½ cup finely chopped fennel bulb
3 large cloves garlic, minced
1 cup risotto rice
½ cup dry white wine
About 4 cups warm chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
½ pound boneless, skinless hot smoked salmon or trout, in small chunks
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon minced Italian parsley

PREPARATION
Heat oil in a heavy 3-quart saucepan. Add onion, fennel and garlic and sauté over low heat until soft. Stir in rice. Lightly cook the rice, stirring continually. Add wine. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until most of the wine has been absorbed.
      Add stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring, adding more as each portion is absorbed. After adding 1 1/2 cups, season with salt and pepper and fold in trout. Keep adding stock until rice is al dente but mixture is still creamy, about 17 minutes total.

PASTA WITH SMOKED SALMON & SALMON CAVIAR
Ingredients:
Salt
1/2 pound dry or fresh fettuccine
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large or 2 small shallots, minced
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons crème fraîche or sour cream
2 Tbsp. finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 Tsp. chopped fresh tarragon
Freshly ground pepper
3 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon, cut into 1/2-inch ribbons (1/2 cup)
2 ounces salmon caviarDirections:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a large pinch of salt. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. (For fresh pasta, this will be less than 2 minutes, for dry pasta, about 8 or 9 minutes). Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
In a heavy, deep skillet (I prefer cast iron), melt the butter over moderate heat. When the foam subsides, add the minced shallot and cook over moderately low heat for 2 minutes, stirring. Add the crème fraiche or sour cream, parsley and tarragon. Stir in about 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta cooking water and season with pepper. Add the pasta and smoked salmon ribbons and toss well. Add up to 2 more tablespoons of the reserved cooking water if the pasta seems too dry. Remove from the heat. Add three-fourths of the caviar and toss gently. Serve in shallow bowls, garnished with the remaining caviar.
