Recipes
Lemon Butter Herbed Salmon Blintz
Yields 6 servings
6 (6-ounce) salmon
½ cup cornstarch
1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon lemon pepper,
divided 2 Tablespoons canola oil
2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons flour
1½ cups white wine
1 fresh lemon, juiced
• kosher salt, to taste
small handful fresh parsley finely chopped.
Directions
1. In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon lemon pepper.
2. Coat fish in the cornstarch mixture. Set aside.
3. In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat; working in batches if necessary, add fish. Cook for 3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Place the fish into an ovenproof dish; set aside.
4. Preheat oven to 350°F.
5. Prepare the sauce: Over moderate heat, in the same saucepan, melt butter; then add flour to make a roux, stirring constantly until it thickens. The sauce will get thicker as it gets closer to boiling point.
6. Add white wine and lemon juice; add 1 teaspoon lemon pepper and salt to taste.
7. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens; stir in the fresh parsley.
8. Pour sauce over fish; bake for 20 minutes, uncovered.
Notes: Roux is created by cooking wheat flour with oil or butter. It is the thickening agent used when making sauces.
To tell if fish is done, use a fork to flake the fish in the thickest part. If it flakes easily, it’s ready.
You can also use striped bass, cod, and Nile perch in this recipe.

3 eggs
1 cup flour
1½ cups water
1 teaspoon canola oil
