Salmon Kyiv is a delightful twist on the classic Chicken Kyiv, featuring succulent salmon fillets instead of poultry. This dish marries the richness of butter and herbs with the tenderness of fresh salmon, resulting in a mouthwatering experience perfect for an elegant dinner or a special occasion. Follow this recipe to create a restaurant-quality meal at home.
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the butter, minced garlic, finely chopped chives, and finely chopped fresh parsley. Mix well until fully blended.
- Transfer the herb butter onto a piece of plastic wrap, shape it into a small log, and refrigerate until firm (about 15-20 minutes).
- Meanwhile, cut the salmon into even fillets, about 4 to 6 pieces depending on size. Make a slit in the center of each fillet, creating a pocket for the herb butter.
- Take the firm herb butter out of the refrigerator and cut it into pieces just long enough to fit inside the pockets of the salmon fillets.
- Insert a piece of herb butter into each pocket. Fold the fillets over to seal in the butter, using toothpicks if necessary to secure them.
- Place the flour in a shallow dish.
- Beat the eggs in a second shallow dish.
- Spread the bread crumbs in a third shallow dish.
- First, dredge each filled salmon fillet in the flour, making sure it is evenly coated.
- Next, dip the floured salmon into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Finally, coat the salmon fillet with bread crumbs, pressing lightly to ensure they adhere well.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil to the skillet, enough to coat the bottom.
- Place the breaded salmon fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the Salmon Kyiv hot, garnished with additional fresh parsley or chives if desired. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is softened before mixing it with the garlic, chives, and parsley to form a smooth, spreadable herb butter.
- To prevent the salmon from falling apart, make sure the fillets are firm and not over-marinated.
- For an extra crispy crust, consider double-breading the salmon: dip in flour, eggs, then breadcrumbs, and repeat the egg and breadcrumb step.
- Preheat your oven to ensure even cooking and crispiness when you finish the salmon in the oven after pan-frying.
- Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful bite.
And there you have it - a perfectly cooked Salmon Kyiv that's sure to impress your guests or simply provide a luxurious meal for yourself. The combination of crispy bread crumbs, tender salmon, and rich herb butter makes this dish a true culinary delight. Enjoy your homemade Salmon Kyiv!
