Recipe 7: Puff Pastry-wrapped Salmon and Watercress Mousse with Champagne-Chive Butter Sauce and Buttered New Potatoes
Ingredients:
10 ounces watercress, about 7 bunches, washed well and tough stems removed
4 egg whites, very cold
1/2 cup very cold heavy cream
5 ounces very cold scallops or peeled raw shrimp
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 pound puff pastry, thawed if frozen
1 side of salmon, about 3 pounds, boned and skin removed
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash
Sprigs fresh watercress, garnish
Champagne-Chive Butter Sauce:
3 tablespoons minced shallots
1 cup Champagne
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 sticks butter, cut into small pieces
Salt
White pepper
1/3 cup finely chopped chives
Buttered New Potatoes, recipe follows
Buttered Chive New Potatoes:
2 1/2 pounds small, red new potatoes (about 1 1/4-inches in diameter)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Prepare an ice bath. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the watercress in batches and blanch until wilted but still bright green, about 15 seconds. Refresh the watercress in the ice bath, then squeeze out the excess water.
In a food processor process the watercress and 3 egg whites until almost smooth. Add the heavy cream and continue to process. Place in a strainer set over a bowl. Puree the scallops in the food processor. Add the remaining egg white, salt and white pepper and continue to process. Add the drained watercress mixture to the scallops and process until well mixed. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add a small amount of the scallop mixture and poach until cooked through. Taste and adjust seasoning to the mixture, as necessary.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet. On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 piece of the puff pastry into a long rectangle, about 20-inches by 8-inches, or large enough for the fillet. Place the puff pastry sheet on the prepared baking sheet. Season both sides of the salmon with salt and white pepper, then place in the middle of the pastry, skin side down.
Spread the watercress mousse evenly over the top of the salmon. Cut the pastry around the salmon to within 2 inches of the fish, leaving a triangular "tail" shape at the bottom and a slightly pointed shape at the "head" end. Brush the edges of the pastry with egg wash. Roll out the remaining pastry sheet on the floured surface and trim to the same size as the first sheet.
Top the salmon with the second pastry sheet and seal the edges to within 3/4-inch of the fish. With a pastry tip, lightly score the top pastry sheet to resemble fish scales, and using the excess pastry, form an eye, mouth and fins. Brush the pastry with the remaining egg wash and bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. While the fish is baking, make the sauce.
Champagne Chive Butter Sauce: In a medium saucepan combine the shallots and Champagne and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Add the cream, bring to a boil, and reduce by half, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat and whisk in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, adding each piece before the previous one has been completely incorporated. Continue until all the butter is added and the sauce coats the back of a spoon, removing the pan from the heat periodically to prevent the sauce from getting too hot and breaking. Strain, if desired. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper and fold in the chives.
Remove the fish from the oven and transfer to a large platter or tray decorated with watercress sprigs and present tableside. Cut into individual portions and serve with the Champagne-Chive Butter and new potatoes on the side.
Put the potatoes and 1 teaspoon of salt in a medium, heavy stockpot. Cover with water by 1-inch and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain in a colander and return to the pot. Add the remaining ingredients, cover with the lid, and shake to blend. Remove from the heat and adjust the seasoning, to taste. Cover to keep warm until ready to serve

Recipe 10: Crawfish and Salmon Mousse with Tomato-Saffron Cream Sauce
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon softened unsalted butter, plus 3 tablespoons butter, melted
12 ounces cooked crawfish tails, chilled
10 ounces boneless, skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, chilled
1/3 cup finely chopped shallots
1 teaspoon chopped chives
1 teaspoon chopped parsley
1 teaspoon chopped dill
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon Essence, recipe follows
3 large egg whites, chilled
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup cold heavy cream, plus 1 cup
20 ounces baby spinach leaves, blanched and drained
Tomato-Saffron Cream Sauce, recipe follows
Fresh chives, garnish
Hot toast points, accompaniment
Essence (Emeril's Creole Seasoning):
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onions
1 teaspoon saffron
2 tablespoons white wine
2 teaspoons minced garlic
21/2 cups chopped, seeded tomatoes
2 sprigs thyme
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons fish stock
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter 6 (1-cup) ramekins with the softened butter, place inside a large roasting pan, and set aside.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the crawfish and salmon and puree on high speed. Add the shallots, chives, parsley, dill, pepper, and Essence, and process on high speed.
With the machine running, add the egg whites through the feed tube and process until well combined. Add the salt and melted butter and process (the mixture will tighten). Puree on high speed, scraping down the sides several times.
With the machine running, gradually add 1 cup of the cream through the feed tube. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until very cold, at least 1 hour.
Place the remaining cold cup of cream in a medium bowl and beat to medium peaks with an electric mixer. Fold into the cold mousse base, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
To test the seasoning, poach a tablespoon of the mousse in boiling water. Adjust seasoning to taste. Divide among the prepared ramekins. Fill the roasting pan with water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover with buttered parchment paper and bake until the mousses are set and begin to pull away from the sides of the dishes, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and tip each ramekin onto its side to dispel any excess cooking liquid.
Arrange the spinach in the center of 6 small plates. Run a thin knife around the edges of the molds and invert onto the blanched spinach. Spoon the Tomato-Saffron Cream Sauce on top and around the mousses, garnish with chives, and serve with hot toast points.
Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the saffron and white wine and stir so the saffron permeates the wine. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, thyme and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and cook until the tomatoes give up their liquid, about 5 minutes, stirring from time to time. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the fish stock, bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the cream and cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt, the butter and parsley, and whisk to blend. Remove from the heat and discard the thyme sprigs. With a hand-held immersion blender, or in batches in a food processor, puree on high speed.
To serve, ladle the hot sauce onto and around the Crawfish and Salmon Mousses.
