Transcript of Salmon
Fresh raw salmon is marinated in fennel, leeks, carrots, salt, sugar and
pepper overnight to develop a sweet, spicy and zesty flavor then cut into
long pieces, and rolled with sautéed mushrooms and leeks to produce a
fabulous and elegant canapé. The fennel marinate subtly pickles the fish
giving it fragrant flavor and harder texture, while holding its characteristic
silky softness and melt-in-your-tongue quality. Marinated salmon ballotin
makes an attractive and delicious hors d’oeuvres for fancy cocktail
companies and graceful entrees for formal dinners. Paired with an
exquisite bottle of
Chablis, rolled
salmon is pure luxury
in the mouth.
Information on cooking
sander french fish.
Ballotin is a French
term that roughly
interprets to “small
package of goods.” It
normally refers to a
cosmetic cardboard
box for the promotion
chocolate candies,
thought to be a
romantic present or thoughtful gift. In this gourmet dish, button mushrooms
and leeks are wrapped in salmon to make a roll a la ballotin. This recipe is
also similar to sushi rolls as the salmon is eaten raw, only it utilizes European
spices and ingredients instead of Asian or Japanese. Like the ballotin, this
salmon recipe is as lovely as a wrapped gift.
Fennel has a very strong anise-like flavor and intensely invigorating aroma.
Crunchy and more or less sweet, this aromatic plant especially
complements most kinds of fish and is also used for therapeutic uses. It is a
popular ingredient in Italian and Mediterranean cooking, eaten as a
vegetable or used as an aromatic herb. The stalks, bulb, leaves, and
seeds of fennel are all edible. In this recipe, new fennel leaves and bulbs,
as well as dried fennel, are used to marinate the fish. Closely associated to
dill, parsley, carrots, and coriander, fennel shares many features with these
ingredients and complement them very well.
