Potato-Crusted Salmon with Dijon Shallot Sauce
Ingredients
| * | 2 tbls. minced shallots |
| * | 1 tsp. butter |
| * | 1 tbls. all-purpose flour |
| * | 1/2 cup 2% milk |
| * | 1/2 bay leaf |
| * | 2 tbls. white wine |
| * | 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard |
| * | 3 medium potatoes, washed, peeled and grated, about 1 pound |
| * | 1 tbls. fresh lemon juice |
| * | 4 4-oz. salmon fillets |
Instructions
| 1 | In a medium saucepan, saute shallots in butter over medium low heat until translucent, about 1 minute. Add flour and mix to form a roux. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, or until mixture turns light brown. |
| 2 | Slowly pour in milk and whisk with a wire whip until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Add bay leaf and wine. Reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add mustard. |
| 3 | Place shredded potatoes in colander and rinse several times in cold water until water is clear and starch is removed. Transfer to a large bowl and add lemon juice. |
| 4 | Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat an ovenproof saute pan with canola oil. |
| 5 | Pack ½ cup potato on each salmon fillet and sear, potato-side-down, in saute pan until golden brown. Transfer to oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily. |
| 6 | Serve 1 salmon fillet with 1 tablespoon of sauce. |
