Wood–Grilled King Salmon with Ricotta Gnocchi Chanterelle Mushrooms and Fava Beans
Yield: 1 serving per salmon filet
Ingredients
salmon filets
fennel
flat leaf parsley
chervil
thyme
chives
basil
extra virgin olive oil
chanterelle
marjoram
rosemary
fava beans
garlic
salt
pepper
gnocchi
saffron aioli
roasted red peppers
Directions
Take salmon filets and sprinkle well with salt. Take herbs such as fennel, flat leaf parsley, chervil, thyme, chives, basil, etc., (but reserve some for later) and toss in extra virgin olive oil and cover in bowl. Put a weight on top and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours.
Rinse salt off filets and re-season with reserved chopped herbs and some more olive oil. Grill filets over a hot fire until rare. Do not overcook, or they will be dry. Wash dirt off of chanterelle and lightly squeeze out excess moisture. Warm sauce pan with extra virgin olive oil, toss in chanterelles, cook until soft. Add a little chopped herbs such as marjoram, thyme, rosemary, and toss in fava beans (shelled and blanched until soft). Season with chopped clove of garlic, salt and pepper, and drizzle on more oil if desired.
Cook your favorite gnocchi recipe and place on plate. Spoon chanterelles and fava beans over gnocchi. Put salmon on top and drizzle the juices from the mushrooms around the plate. Garnish with saffron aioli, chervil, roasted red peppers, etc.
