Salmon surprise: Easy gourmet potato skewers for home chefs

Sometimes, just a bit of creativity is enough to serve known ingredients in a slightly different way and create a dish that's delightful both in taste and appearance. An example of this is delicious potato skewers hiding salmon inside.

This is an unusual idea for a dinner with fish as the main attraction. On the plate, it looks like a chef from a fine restaurant prepared it. However, anyone can be the chef in this case, as salmon potato skewers can be easily prepared in your own home. These fish bites are topped with a simple cream sauce with a hint of lemon and parsley.

Fish should appear much more often in our diet, and the best way to convince yourself of this is to prepare it tasty and enticingly. My latest discovery is simple skewers, in which pieces of salmon are wrapped in a blanket of potatoes.

They work great as a light dinner or elegant supper. I recommend adding a portion of vegetables, such as butter-steamed asparagus.

Ingredients:

• 4 medium potatoes,
• 2 tablespoons of potato starch + some for sprinkling the salmon,
• 1 egg,
• 1 teaspoon of salt,
• 300 grams of salmon,
• salt and pepper to taste.

Sauce:

• 30 grams of butter,
• 200 millilitres of 30% cream,
• juice from half a lemon,
• 1/3 cup chopped parsley,
• 1/3 teaspoon of salt,
• 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.

Preparation:

Step 1. Peel, wash and grate the potatoes on a small grater. Pour water over them and set aside for 20 minutes. After this time, drain them thoroughly, rinse with water, add potato starch, egg, salt, and pepper, and mix the mass thoroughly. Spread plastic wrap and place the potatoes on it, forming a rectangle.

Step 2. Place a piece of salmon in the center and sprinkle it with potato starch. Season with salt and pepper and wrap tightly, lifting the edges of the plastic wrap. The potato mixture should wrap around the salmon.

Step 3. Unwrap the potato roll from the plastic wrap. Heat oil in a pan and fry on both sides until the potatoes are browned.

Step 4. After frying, pour cream into the pan and mix thoroughly. When it boils, squeeze the lemon juice into it and cook for a bit. Add chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the sauce reduces slightly.

Step 5. Cut the fried fish into smaller pieces and pour the sauce over them. Serve warm. Enjoy your meal!
