A Cool Cherry Paprikash Sauce For Salmon
- The cherry paprikash sauce
- 3 ounces sour cream or premium thick plain Greek yogurt, fage
- 4 ounces EVOO
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons premium capote capers
- 8 Rainier yellow cherries, chopped and pitted, using all the juice
- pinch of kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon chopped flat leaf parsley
- Seared salmon
- oil for searing (grapeseed or olive)
- 8 ounces fresh salmon steak fillet
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground green peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon sweet smoked paprika
- 1 cup red onion sliced into rings and halved
- 2/3 cup Rainier cherries, pitted and halved
- 1/2 cup white wine
- dill for garnish
- 4 lemon wedges
- pinch of kosher salt
- Whisk the sour cream with the olive oil.
- Mix in the remaining ingredients. Keep cool.
- Heat a heavy pan (using high heat).
- Add a light amount of a good cooking oil.
- Sprinkle the salmon with paprika and ground pepper.
- Quickly sear the salmon on both sides so that it is crusty on the outside but still all pink inside.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onions and cherries.
- Add the wine and reduce. Don't overcook the salmon: keep it at least a little pink inside, if not more.
- Add salt. Ready to plate: Add some hot onions and cherries over the salmon. Spoon the cool cherry sauce on top. Garnish with dill and lemon wedges.
