Salmon and Mussels in a Flaky Puff Pastry Crust

24 mussels, scrubbed, beards removed
salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 thyme sprigs
11/2 pounds boneless and skinless salmon filet, cut into 4 pieces
1 pound frozen puff pastry, thawed
unbleached all-purpose flour
for the counter
1 egg yolk, beaten with 1 teaspoon water
4 curly-leaf parsley sprigs
Preheat the oven to 375°. Soak the mussels in a bowl of cool water to cover with 1 tablespoon of salt for 30 minutes; drain and rinse. In a 12" sauté pan, heat the olive oil. Cook the mussels until open, 5 minutes over medium heat; shell. Heat the butter and thyme in a 12" skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon and salt; cook 2 minutes per side.

Roll out the puff pastry on a floured counter into a 1/8"-thick rectangle; cut into four 8" squares. Top with the salmon and mussels. Close by joining the 4 corners in the center and sealing the edges. Brush with the beaten egg yolk. Transfer to an 11" x 17" baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, or until crisp. Serve hot, topped with the parsley. Serves 4

On stovetop in a oven friendly sautee pan brown the filets herb side down over med-high heat using butter or better yet clarified butter. Carefully flip filets over, skin side down. Pop in oven and bake for approx. 7 minutes for med results. Longer or shorter for desired temp. Plate filets and serve with dollop of Lime butter on top.

This dish is good with wild rice or saffron rice. Enjoy!!



Spaghetti con Cozze
Spaghetti with Mussels

Ingredients:

1 pound spaghetti
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
1/4 cup finely chopped Italian parsley
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 pounds mussels, scrubbed and debearded
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup canned plum tomatoes, with their juice, crushed or puréed tomatoes
salt and pepper

Preparation:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until just under al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup of cooking water.

Coat the bottom of a large skillet with the olive oil. Add the garlic, thyme, half of the parsley and the crushed red pepper and sauté over medium heat until the garlic starts to color.

Add the mussels, wine and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, cover, and cook until the mussels open, 5 to 7 minutes.

When the spaghetti is ready, add it to the sauce with 1/2 cup to 1 cup of the pasta cooking water (depending how dry the sauce is). Cook the spaghetti in the sauce, uncovered, for 2 to 3 minutes for the pasta to absorb the sauce. Stir in the remaining parsley and serve.
