Salmon with Beurre Rouge and Smoked-Salmon-Stuffed Baked Potato

This elegant high-protein dish elevates fresh salmon to restaurant standards. The recipe features a classic French beurre rouge, a velvety red wine butter sauce that provides a sharp yet rich contrast to the delicate pan-steamed fish. Paired with a twice-baked potato that is generously stuffed with creamy mash and flecks of salty smoked salmon, it offers a sophisticated balance of textures and flavours that is sure to impress dinner guests.

While the components may seem complex, much of the preparation can be handled in advance, making it a stress-free option for a weekend dinner party. The combination of fresh and smoked salmon provides a double hit of healthy fats and protein, resulting in a meal that is as nourishing as it is indulgent. Serve it with a side of steamed seasonal greens for a complete, vibrant plate.

How to make Salmon with Beurre Rouge and Smoked-Salmon-Stuffed Baked Potato

Bring wine, shallots, and vinegar to boil in heavy small saucepan. Reduce heat to low and simmer until liquid is reduced to 2 tablespoons , about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and cover.

Do ahead: Can be made 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.

Preheat oven to 204°C. Place each potato on separate sheet of foil, sprinkle with sea salt, and wrap tightly. Bake until tender, about 1 hour. Remove foil; cool to just warm, about 20 minutes. Cut lengthwise in half. Scoop flesh into medium microwave-safe bowl, leaving 1/4-inch-thick potato shell. Add 2 tablespoons butter and milk to potatoes in bowl; mash well. Stir in soured cream and 3 tablespoons spring onion tops. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Do ahead: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Loosely cover shells and filling separately and let stand at room temperature.

Rewarm potato shells, then filling, in microwave at 20-second intervals until heated through. Stir smoked salmon into filling; season with sea salt and pepper. Mound filling in shells.

Place 60ml water and salmon fillets in heavy large skillet; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover; steam over medium-high heat until salmon is just opaque in centre, about 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, rewarm wine-shallot reduction over medium-low heat. Add remaining 120ml butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until each is melted before adding next; continue whisking until beurre rouge is thick (do not overheat or sauce may separate). Season with salt and pepper.

Spoon sauce onto 4 plates. Place potatoes on 1 side; sprinkle with remaining spring onions. Arrange 2 salmon strips atop sauce on each plate; sprinkle with peppercorns and chives.
