1 teaspoon grated onion
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Oven-Poached Salmon Steaks with Mustard Dill Sauce
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon peppercorns
1 1/2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 onion, sliced
10- thick Salmon Steaks

For the Sauce:
1/3 cup distilled vinegar
1/2 cup Swedish coarse-grained mustard or other coarse-grained mustard
2 teaspoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh dill

Dill sprigs for garnish
1 lemon slice for garnish
In a saucepan combine the wine, 1 1/2 cups water, sugar, peppercorns, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, salt, and the onion. Simmer the mixture for 15 minutes, then let it cool to room temperature.

Halve the salmon steaks with a sharp knife, discarding as many bones as possible, and reform the steaks. Arrange the steaks in two buttered shallow baking dishes, ladle the wine mixture around them.

Poach the steaks covered with a buttered piece of foil, on the upper and lower racks of a preheated 375 degree F oven for 30 minutes, switching the position of the pans after 15 minutes of baking. Let the steaks cool, venting the foil, and chill them in the poaching liquid, covered, for at least six hours or overnight.

Make the Sauce: In a bowl whisk together the vinegar, mustard, sugar, cardamom, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the sauce until it is emulsified. The sauce may be prepared up to this point one day in advance, covered and chilled. Whisk in the dill one hour before serving.

Separate the salmon steaks into halves, brush them with some of the poaching liquid, and arrange them on a platter. Garnish the salmon with the dill sprigs and the lemon slice and serve them with the sauce.
Serves 10.

Potted Salmon, Fresh and Smoked
3- 6 ounce Salmon Steaks
1/4 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons minced shallot
1/4 teaspoon ground mace, plus a pinch for final seasoning
1 bay leaf
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
1/4 pound smoked salmon, chopped
Fresh lemon juice to taste
3 tablespoons clarified butter for covering the potted salmon
Crackers, melba thins, or toasted croutes as an accompaniment
Arrange the salmon steaks in a buttered flame-proof gratin dish just large enough to hold them in one layer. Sprinkle them with wine, the shallot, mace and salt to taste. Top them with the bay leaf and four tablespoons of butter cut into pieces.

Bring the wine mixture to a simmer and bake the salmon steaks, covered with foil, in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, turning them once, or until they just flake. With a slotted spoon transfer the salmon steaks to a plate, discard the bay leaf, and remove the skin and bones. Strain the cooking liquid into a bowl and reserve it.

In a food processor combine the salmon steaks and the cooking liquid and process the mixture until it is combined. Add the smoked salmon and process the mixture until it is smooth. With the motor running add the remaining four tablespoons of butter, one tablespoon at a time and process the mixture until it is combined well. Season the mixture with a pinch of mace, the lemon juice, and salt and white pepper to taste.

Transfer the mixture to a crock, smooth the top, and spoon the clarified butter over it. Chill the potted salmon, covered with plastic wrap, overnight.

Serve the potted salmon with crackers, melba thins, or toasted croutes. This may be prepared five days in advance, covered with plastic wrap, and chilled.
Makes about 3 cups.

1/2 cup minced fennel bulb
4 to 6 large garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
8 cups white fish stock
3 cups peeled, seeded, and chopped fresh tomatoes or 3 cups drained and chopped canned tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons dried basil, crumbled

Return the soup to the kettle and bring it to a simmer. Add the clams and the mussels, cover, and cook over moderately high heat for five to six minutes, or until the clams and mussels have opened. Discard any clams or mussels that have not open. With a slotted spoon transfer the shellfish to a bowl and keep it warm, covered loosely. Add the halibut to the kettle and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for five to seven minutes, or until the halibut is just firm to the touch.

Divide the shellfish among six bowls and ladle the halibut and soup into the bowls. Drizzle the pistou over each bowl or serve it separately. Serve the soup with Parmesan croutes, if desired.
Serves 6.

Pistou:
3 garlic cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup packed fresh basil leaves, minced
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/3 cup olive oil
In a mortar with pestle puree the garlic with the salt, mashing it to a fine paste. Add the basil and the Parmesan and continue to mash the mixture until it is well blended. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and whisk in the oil, a little at a time. Continue to whisk the mixture until it is a thick paste.

Alternative Method: In a blender or food processor puree the garlic, salt, basil, and the Parmesan together, scraping down the sides of the bowl, until the mixture is well blended. With the motor running, add the oil in a stream until the mixture is a thick paste.
Makes about 1/2 cup.

1/8 teaspoon freshly grated white pepper
1 egg white
1/2 cup well-chilled heavy cream
1/4 pound smoked salmon, diced fine

For the Sole and Scallop Mousseline:
3/4 pound sole fillet, cut into 1-inch pieces
3/4 pound sea scallops
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated white pepper

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup minced fresh herbs, such as basil, chives, tarragon, chervil, or dill, or a combination

Fresh herbs such as basil sprigs and chervil leaves for the garnish if desired
Herbed cucumber sauce (recipe to follow) as an accompaniment
Make the Salmon Mousseline: In a food processor puree the salmon, salt, nutmeg, and the white pepper until the mixture is smooth. With the motor running add the egg white and puree the mixture until it is combined well. With the motor running add the cream in a stream, and blend the mixture until it is just combined. Transfer the mousseline to a bowl, fold in the smoked salmon, and chill it covered.

Make the Sole and Scallop Mousseline: In a food processor puree the sole, scallops, salt, nutmeg, and white pepper until the mixture is smooth. With the motor running add the egg white and puree the mixture until it is combined well. With the motor running add the cream in a stream, and blend the mixture until it is just combined. Transfer the mousseline to a bowl and chill it, covered.

Make the Herb Mousseline: In a skillet steam the spinach in the water clinging to its leaves, covered, stirring occasionally, over moderately high heat for 30 to 60 seconds until the leaves have wilted. Drain the spinach, refresh it under cold running water, and gently squeeze it dry between paper towels. In the skillet cook the shallot in the butter over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until it is softened. Add the spinach and cook the mixture, stirring, until it is dry. In a food processor puree the spinach mixture, transfer it to a bowl, and mix it with half of the sole and scallop mousseline, the fresh herbs, and salt and white pepper to taste. Chill the herb mousseline, covered.

Assemble the Terrine: Butter a 2-quart terrine or loaf pan, line the bottom with wax paper, and butter the paper. Spoon the remaining sole and scallop mousseline into the terrine and smooth it with a rubber spatula onto the sides and bottom of the pan creating a layer about one-inch thick. Add the salmon mousseline to the terrine, spreading it into an even layer, and rap the terrrine several times on a hard surface to expel any air bubbles. Finally, add the herb mousseline, spread it into an even layer and rap the terrine on a hard surface. Cover the terrine with buttered wax paper and seal it tightly with foil.

Put the terrine in a baking pan, add enough water to the pan to come halfway up the sides of the terrine. Bake the terrine in the middle of a preheated 275 degree F oven for 1 1/2 hours, or until it is firm to the touch and has shrunk slightly from the sides of the pan. Let the terrine cool to room temperature and chill it overnight.

Discard the foil and paper, and pour off the excess liquid. Invert a platter over the terrine and invert the terrine onto it. Blot up the excess liquid with paper towels and let the terrine come to room temperature.

Garnish the terrine with the fresh herbs, if desired. Serve the terrine with the Herbed Cucumber Sauce.

Salmon Stuffed with Pesto and Corn Salad
The Salmon can be prepared up to one day ahead of grilling. The pesto stuffing adds a fresh layer of flavor.

Salmon:
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons blanched almonds
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teasoon kosher salt, plus additional for seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus additional for brushing
1 1/2 pounds of Salmon Fillets, skinned, rinsed, and patted dry
Vegetable oil for grilling

Salad:
1 pound ripe mixed small tomatoes, rinsed, halved or diced
1 cup cooked, fresh corn kernels (from 2 ears)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons minced fresh marjoram or oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
To prepare the salmon: In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, pulse the basil, parsley, almonds, garlic, salt and black pepper to make a coarse paste. With the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil until it is incorporated into the pesto.

Lay the salmon fillets on a work surface. With a cut side facing you, cut a wide pocket with a narrow bladed knife, taking care not ot cut through the top or bottom of the fish. Hold the pocket open, and season the inside with salt and pepper to taste. Then spread the pesto evenly inside the fish with a flat spatula. Start the grill and set it with a medium high fire.

To prepare the salad: In a serving bowl toss the tomatoes with the corn. Add the olive oil, vinegar, marjoram, salt and black pepper to taste. Toss again, taking care not ot break up the tomatoes.

Lightly brush the grill grate with vegetable oil. Brush the fillets on both sides with olive oil and season one side with salt and pepper to taste. Lay the fish on the grill seasoned side down and cook until there are distinct grill marks and you can lift the fish without it sticking, about three to five minutes. Test it by gently lifting a corner, if it sticks, let it cook a bit longer.

When the salmon fillets lift cleanly, carefully turn the fillets about 45 degrees from their original position (don't turn over). Cook for another three minutes, until the flesh is marked.

Season the other side of the fish with salt and pepper to taste, turn the fillets over and cook about three to five minutes more or until an instant read thermometer inserted into the side registers 125 degrees.

Transfer the salmon to a plate and let it rest for five minutes. Cut the salmon into four equal pieces and transfer it to serving plates. Serve the salmon warm or at room temperature. Top with the Tomato-Corn Salad. Drizzle any extra juices from the salad on top.

Note: To cook the corn, cut the kernels from the ears into a bowl and scrape the cobs with a knife to get out the juices. Cover and microwave on high for one minute.
