Hi, I’m Chef Ted, coming to you from the Rada Cutlery kitchen. Today I’m going to make salmon with puff pastry and pesto.
I’ve got some puff pastry that comes from the freezer department. What I’m going to do is take the Rada Plain Food Chopper and cut some circles out of it. Then I’m going to put them onto one of the Rada Stoneware baking sheets and then use a Rada Handi-stir to whip up and egg white. I’m going to pop the puff pastry in the oven at 400 degrees.
Now I’m going to whip up the glaze that’s going to go over the salmon. I’m going to put in a little bit of garlic, a little bit of English coarse ground mustard, apple cider vinegar, some brown sugar, a little seasoned salt, and just mix that glaze up.
I’m going to take a small skillet and put a little extra virgin olive oil in there. We’re going to put the pan on medium-high heat and season both sides of the fish. Use salt, pepper, garlic powder, whatever you want to use. We’ve got that olive oil heated and are going to place the salmon filets in. Fatty side down, which would be where the skin was, here the skin is removed. We’re going to let them start there. We’re going to come over with the glaze and use the Handi-stir to slather it on there.
Now I’m going to use a Rada Spatula to flip these salmon filets. Salmon is a red fish so you can cook it to a medium-rare, which scares some people, but all you have to do is get it to about 140 or 145 degrees and it’s good to go.
I’m going to flip it back right side up again. Put a little more of a glaze on it.
While those are finishing up, I’m going to cut some real thin ribbons of basil. I’m also going to take the Peeling Paring Knife and a beautiful heirloom tomato.
We’ve got our salmon filets that are finished up here. Add some puffy pastry. Now we’ve got our salmon and puff pastry. I’m using the Rada Party Spreader to put some pesto on top. And we’re going to garnish with basil and heirloom tomato. There you have Glazed Salmon with Puff Pastry and Pesto.
