Fresh Salmon = French Cooking in my Oregon Kitchen

February 27, 2015 · by Carrie Trax ·

2015.02.14@19.19.46._K5I8328I am bringing French cooking to my Oregon kitchen this week.  Fresh From Oregon Salmon and homemade Kale Pesto tucked inside puff pastry and baked until golden brown.  Served with a creamy dill sauce this makes the prefect meal for your family or any special occasion.

Salmon en Croûte2015.02.14@18.25.14._K5I83122015.02.14@18.26.34._K5I83132015.02.14@18.27.49._K5I8316
1 salmon fillet (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut in half, skin and bones removed
sea salt and fresh black pepper
2 (9×9) puff pastry sheets, thawed
1/3 cup Kale Pesto
1 egg, beaten
Creamy Dill Sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2teaspoon dried dill
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment or grease lightly with oil. Lay a sheet of puff pastry down on a lightly floured surface. Place one half of the salmon in the middle. Sprinkle some salt and pepper over the salmon.  Spread half the kale pesto over the salmon evenly. Wrap the salmon like a package, brushing the overlapping puff pastry with egg so it sticks together. Brush the entire thing with egg wash then poke holes all over it with a fork, about an inch apart, especially where it is overlapped. Place on the baking sheet. Repeat with the second piece of salmon. Bake 30 – 35 minutes until puff pastry is cooked through. If it starts to get too dark cover loosely with a piece of aluminum foil.
As the salmon is baking make the sauce.  Combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and whisk until well mixed.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Roasted Turkey with Homemade Cracker Stuffing

The roasted golden bird, the Turkey is the center piece of any Thanksgiving table.  But in my family the favorite dish is my family’s cracker stuffing passed down from my mom from my grandmother and great grandmother.  For four generations and probably longer it has been a holiday tradition making cracker stuffing in my family.  […]

Melt in your Mouth Reuben Sandwich

Melt in your Mouth Reuben Sandwich

Corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and thousand island dressing sandwiched between two pieces of grilled rye bread = one of the most amazing sandwich.  The Reuben sandwich first gained local fame when the Blackstone’s Hotel in Omaha, Nebraska added it to the lunch menu, and its fame spread when a former employee of the hotel […]
