Tasty Recipes for Salmon - Italian Style

Today, let me share with you what my Italian workmate shared with me. Let me tell you, he's also a salmon lover like me. He's already cooked lots of salmon recipes in years but he just gave the copy of these two Italian recipes, his favorites.

Well, I've tried these recipes last weekend. One on Saturday and the other was on Sunday. The whole family loved it and I thought of sharing it here in my blog. Hope you'll enjoy these another great recipes for salmon.

SALMONE ALLA PERIGO (ITALIAN)

Ingredients:

Salmon, forcemeat of fish, truffles, butter, Madeira,
croutons of bread, crayfish tails, anchovy butter.

Procedures:

Cut a bit of salmon into well shaped fillets, and marinate them in lemon juice and a bunch of herbs for two hours, then wipe them, put a layer of forcemeat of fish over each, and decorate them with slices of truffle. When you put them into a well-buttered saute-pan with half a cup of stock and a glass of Madeira or Marsala, cover with buttered paper and put them into a moderate oven for twenty minutes. Afterwards, arrange the fillets in a circle on croutons of bread, garnish the centre with crayfish tails and with truffles cut into dice, with a quarter of a pint of Velute sauce, and half a teaspoonful of anchovy butter. Glaze the fillets and serve.

SALMONE ALLA GIARDINIERA

Ingredients:

Salmon, forcemeat of fish, vegetables, butter,
Bechamel, and Espagnole sauce.

Procedures:

Prepare the fillets as above, and put on each a layer of
white forcemeat of fish. Cook a macedoine of vegetables separately, and garnish each fillet with some of it, then cook them in a covered stewpan. Put a crouton of bread in an entree dish and garnish it with cooked peas, mixed with Bechamel sauce, stock, and butter. Around this place the fillets of fish, leaving the centre with the peas uncovered. Pour some rich Espagnole sauce round the fillets and serve.
