Dishwasher Salmon with Mandarin Orange Butter
Ingredients:
Directions:
4 salmon fillets
4 drizzles olive oil
4 sprigs of tarragon
2 mandarin oranges
Small red onion
Salt & pepper
Heavy duty foil
Sauce
1 cup mandarin juice
1 cup white wine
Zest of 2 mandarins
Ό cup shallots
2 bay leaves
1 tsp whole black peppercorns
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp dried thyme
1 Tbsp honey
½ cup heavy cream
1 stick butter, cut into small pieces
Cut 4 (12-inch) square sheets of foil. Place 1 fillet on each square.
Drizzle with olive oil and arrange tarragon, orange slices and onion slices over each fillet. Season with salt & pepper.
Fold and pinch the aluminium foil extra tightly to create a watertight seal around each fillet. Make sure the packet is airtight by pressing down on it gently with your hand. If air escapes easily, rewrap.
Place foil packets on the top rack of the dishwasher. Run dishwasher for the entire normal cycle. When cycle is complete, take out salmon, discard foil, place 1 fillet on each plate, and drizzle a generous service of Mandarin Orange butter over top.
If you dont have a dishwasher, bake foil-wrapped packets in a preheated 400° oven for 12 minutes. (But what fun is that?!)
Sauce
Combine mandarin juice, zest, shallots, bay leaf, peppercorns, garlic, thyme, wine and honey in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and continue to cook until liquid has reduced by Ύ. Strain sauce then return to saucepan and add cream. Wisk in butter little by little until sauce is smooth and thick. Do not allow sauce to boil.
I thought my wife was crazy when she first showed me this but it really makes Great salmon. Plus it is fun to have dinner parties with this recipe.
Friends are amazed (and sometimes a little frightened) that you cooked dinner in the dishwasher.
