Ingredients

  • 4 (7 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 cup rice flour
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Olive oil, for searing
  • Herb Caper Sauce, recipe follows
  • 4 lemon wedges, for garnish
  • Asparagus Cheese Puffs, recipe follows

Directions

Season fillets with salt and pepper, to taste. Combine rice flour with water to make a light loose batter. Heat a large skillet with about 1/4-inch of olive oil. Coat fillets with batter, place meat side down, and sear until golden brown about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn over and sear the skin side for 1 to 2 minutes.

Immediately plate and drizzle each fillet with the Herb Caper Sauce. Serve with a lemon wedge.

Serve the salmon with Asparagus Cheese Puffs.

Herb-Caper Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/4 cup capers
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Combine all ingredients, except for the lemon juice, in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Whisk in the lemon juice just before serving.

Asparagus Cheese Puffs:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Bring milk and butter to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Combine salt, flour, curry, and cayenne in a small bowl. Remove the milk from the heat and add the flour mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides. Place pan back on the heat and cook for about 20 to 30 seconds until the mixture becomes a little dry. Scrape the mixture into a large bowl and let cool slightly. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, adding another only when the previous has been incorporated. Add the asparagus and both cheeses to the dough and mix until combined. Season with salt and pepper.

Spoon rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the sheet pan. Bake in the middle of the oven until golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the puffs from the parchment and serve immediately.

    Due to diet concerns, I skipped the asparagus cheese puffs...boo! I also substituted wheat flour because I didn't have the rice flour. Haven't had "fried" fish in ages and this was a light, unique alternative. The herb caper sauce was yum! The fresh herbs came right out of my garden, and the lemon gave it a fresh taste. Will definitely try this again with salmon as well as other fish.

    I looked online for a caper sauce to use for our Salmon that my husband caught. We had to say this caper sauce is awesome! It is our favorite new Salmon dinner! I have to say this is restaurant style! I am very happy with this recipe and we will be using this often. I would also use this for guest for dinner. All though I did not use the Asparagus cheese puffs.

    My cheese puffs didn't turn out too good. With all the money I spent on the expensive cheeses, I would like to taste it more, maybe the puff to be even more goowy cheesey. Although, it did bring out the beautiful flavor of asparagus.
