Sautéed Salmon with Creamy Corn Sauce and Toasted Pumpkin Seeds |
|
Serves: 4 Print this Recipe(Salmon con Crema de Elote y Pepitas) Category: Sautéed, Fried, and Grilled Whole Fish and Fillets Mexicans have taken to salmon in a big way. When I made a research trip during the last stages of writing this book, I discovered that nearly every restaurant in the capital city doing elegant Mexican cooking had salmon on the menu. I was told that most of the salmon is imported from Canada and Chile, since salmon is not from Mexican waters. Sautéed salmon fillets team perfectly with a luscious corn sauce in a dish made with Mexican ingredients and French techniques. 1/4 cup raw shelled pumpkin seeds 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 2 tablespoons finely chopped white onions 1 ear large fresh corn, kernels cut off 3/4 cup canned fat-free reduced-fat chicken broth 1 serrano chile, chopped with seeds 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste 2 tablespoons heavy cream or half and half 2 tablespoons olive oil 4 (5- to 6-ounce) skinned salmon fillets 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro 1. Heat a small skillet over medium heat and toast the pumpkin seeds, stirring and tossing frequently, until they are aromatic and start to pop around in the pan, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. When the pumpkin seeds are cool, chop coarsely and set aside. 2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and cook the onion, stirring, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the corn, 1/2 cup of the chicken broth, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Cook over medium heat until the corn is tender, about 6 minutes. 3. Transfer the corn mixture to a blender. Add the serrano and remaining 1/4 cup of broth and blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour the sauce through a strainer into a clean saucepan. Press to release all the liquid. Discard debris. Stir the cream into the sauce and heat through. Adjust salt. Reserve over low heat in the pan. 4. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until it is browned on the outside, barely opaque inside and still moist, and just barely flakes when tested with a fork. Put 1 piece of salmon on each of 4 serving plates. Spoon some of the warm corn sauce across each piece of salmon. Sprinkle lightly with cilantro the toasted pumpkin seeds. Serve hot.
