Here’s what you need and how to make it:
Ingredients:
– 2 Salmon Fillets
– Salt and Pepper
– 1/2 cup White Wine
– 2 Yellow Onions thinly sliced
– 5 Garlic cloves finely chopped
– 1 Cup Heavy Cream
– 1 celery root, peeled and chopped
– 2 tablespoons of Margarine
– 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme
– 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1 teaspoon freshly chopped parsley
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375F. Arrange two fillets of salmon in a heatproof baking dish. Season them with salt and pepper to taste. Pour half a cup of white wine over the salmon and roast it in the oven for 15 minutes or until the fish turns opaque. Remove and let it cool.
Now, it’s time to prepare the sauce. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of margarine over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and garlic into the skillet and sauté until they turn soft and translucent. Add the chopped celery root and thyme, and stir occasionally for 10 minutes. Add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper to the mixture. Keep stirring until the celery root turns soft and tender. Once done, pour the mixture into a blender and blend until it becomes a smooth puree.
In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, dried rosemary, and salt. Add three tablespoons of the celery root cream mixture to the bowl and mix well.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease the baking dish with cooking spray or butter. Place the salmon fillets in the baking dish and spread some of the celery root cream mixture over each fillet. Spread the breadcrumb mixture on top of the celery root cream layer.
Place the baking dish back in the preheated oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until the mixture turns golden brown.
And voilà – a savory gratin salmon fillet with herbs and celery root cream is ready to serve.
