Mother’s Day Recipe: Pan Fried Salmon Fillet





What are you going to do to treat your Mum on Mother’s Day this Sunday? It’s a time to pamper and spoil, the day when you make that extra effort to show just how special she is. Loads of ideas have been bouncing around the CellarVie Wines office this week; there are the obvious ones such as the traditional flowers and chocolates, a manicure or pedicure, a Mother’s Day lunch at a nice restaurant perhaps, but why not really push the boat out this year with one of our recipe suggestions!

Nothing screams ‘I love you’ like a lovingly prepared home cooked meal, after all, how many times has your dearest mum done the same for you? Get yourself in the kitchen, whip up a storm and match one of these culinary offerings with a perfectly matched bottle of wine.

If you are thinking of making her breakfast then a simple yet impressive late breakfast/lunch option is smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. All you have to do is arrange some good quality smoked salmon on a pile of fluffy scrambled eggs, with some hot buttered toast and a grind of black pepper and you’re sure to be in her good books for at least a month! Serve them with a glass of Buck’s fizz (half a glass of any good quality Cava or Prosecco poured into some freshly squeezed orange juice) or just a glass of fizz on its own – this month we’re particularly enjoying our Rondel Cava, for example.

If you are feeling really adventurous why not follow our healthy recipe for Pan Fried Salmon fillet with Polenta croutons and lemon watercress salad. Match it with our fruity ChileanVeramonte Rosé made from the Syrah grape or a smart glass of white wine such as the Flagstone Chenin Blanc-Sauvignon Blanc-Viognier from South Africa.

Recipe: Pan Fried Salmon fillet with Polenta croutons and lemon watercress salad

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless salmon fillets approx 140g/5oz each

150g cooked polenta , either bought ready-made or made from the grain (follow pack instructions and allow it to cool and set on a tray)

35g plain flour

2 tbsp olive oil

200g watercress , washed and thick stalks removed

2 tbsp capers in brine, drained

A squeeze of lemon juice

Method

Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan (leaving a little aside for the polenta) and fry the salmon portions for 1 min on each side until lightly golden, then transfer to a non-stick baking tray and cook in the oven for 8-10 mins.

When cooked, remove from the oven and set to one side.

Meanwhile cut the polenta into small cubes, toss in flour and fry in a little oil until slightly coloured. Keep warm.

Dress the watercress with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Place the polenta croutons and capers over each salmon fillet and serve with the watercress.

Recipe: Salmon with Pine Nut and Parmesan crust

 An unusual match, however Jon loves salmon and even more so Pinot Noir. He says this is an absolute winner with the lovely vibrant cherry and strawberry fruit character of the Errázuriz Pinot Noir 2010 really working well with the slightly richer than normal salmon. You wouldn't normally think of matching it with salmon, but it works, it really works! We all know that anything with a breadcrumb and parmesan crust works as well and Jon suggests new potatoes as the accompaniment...you may want to be a bit more creative (sorry Jon)...

Recipe: Luxury Fish Pie

 With the current stormy weather there is nothing better than our luxury fish pie, a classic winter warmer which goes so well with one of the team's favourite white wines the Domaine Trotignon Touraine Sauvignon 2010 from the Loire - it really is so good that you'd easily mistake it for a Sancerre.  The zesty yet crisp wine is a perfect match for a good Fish Pie.

Recipe: Pan Fried Cod and Wilted Spinach

 Simon - the CellarVie Wines Operations Manager - reckons the zesty, fruity acidity of the Veramonte Sauvignon Blanc 2011 goes brilliantly with the subtle flavours of the pan fried cod and wilted spinach (plus he assures me you'll only need to spend "20 minutes tops" in the kitchen).

Recipe: Chargrilled Tuna

A lovely light dish, extremely healthy and filling at the same time - Chargrilled Tuna is one of Simon's favourites and he's matched his recipe to a lovely Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Malbec blend, the Flagstone Longitude Cabernet Sauvignon-Shiraz-Malbec 2010.  Full of dark berry fruit - a lovely match! South African wine is growing increasingly popular in the UK market and Bruce Jack's lovely blend is a perfect example as to why!

Recipe: Home cured Gravadlax

The flavours in cured Gravadlax are an ideal match for any Alsace white wine and this is an easy recipe which will certainly add a little bit of sophistication should you want to impress your friends with your newly acquired curing skills. It’s also very easy because you can make it a couple of days in advance and leave it in the fridge, forget about it and carve just before the party starts.

Recipe: Smoked trout with horseradish dressing

 We know what you're thinking - Trout and horseradish? Trust us it is a match made in heaven with the piquant horseradish dressing working beautifully with the rich smoked trout.  We've paired this dish with Kleine Zalze Bush Vines Chenin Blanc a tropical-fruit flavoured Chenin Blanc that is supple and seductive and has picked up a couple of Silvers in international competitions. It is not overtly fruity but it is a great glass of South African white from a grape variety that is often forgotten about.
