Sauces : Same as for P>oiled Salmon.
Butter Sauces, Cold Sauces: Same as for Broiled Salmon. Hot Sauces : Fleurette, Colbert.
Prepare a forcemeat with I pound of pickerel (freed from skin and bones), 8 ounces of panada, 6 ounces of butter, I whole egg, and 2 egg yolks.
Pound the fish to a fine pulp. Add the panada, then the butter (which should be firm), and last the eggs, one after the other. Season with salt, red pepper and nutmeg, and rub through a fine sieve; put into a bowl and place on ice for 1 hour.
Try the consistency of the forcemeat by plunging a little into boiling water, and rectify if necessary. Then chop fine 1/2 pound of cooked lobster meat, 3 ounces mushrooms and 2 ounces of truffles; mix these ingredients with the forcemeat, and with a tablespoon divide it into small heaps on the table (besprinkled with flour), shape each heap to a nice flat oval, place in a saute pan, cover with boiling salted water, set on the fire and remove after the first boil. Drain on a towel. When cold, dip in beaten eggs and bread crumbs, and fry in hot clarified butter. Serve on a napkin, garnish with fried parsley and give American sauce separate.
Red Snapper a la Lafayette - Red Snapper. Lafayette Fashion. Lift the fillets of a red snapper, free from skin and bones, and cut them into heart-shaped pieces. Season and cook with fish stock.
Have ready the following vegetables cut in 1/4-inch squares and cooked with butter: One part each of onions, leeks, carrots and celery. (These vegetables should be cooked over a mild fire, so that they will not discolor.)
When the fish is cooked, dress it on a dish, reduce the stock in which it was cooked, add 2 tablespoonfuls of the above-mentioned vegetables, 1 pint of veloute, and 2 gills of tomato sauce. Season to taste, and finish with 3 ounces of sweet butter, the juice of half a lemon, and a dessertspoonful of chopped parsley. Pour the sauce over the fish.
Prepare the red snapper as directed for Lafayette Fashion. Cook it with fish stock and claret.
When the fish is done, dress it on a dish and keep it warm. Reduce the stock in which the fish was cooked, add 1 pint of brown sauce, and finish with 2 ounces of sweet and I ounce of lobster butter; garnish with shrimps and small heads of mushrooms ; pour over the sauce and lay on each end of the dish small round lobster croquettes 3/4 inch in diameter.
Sauces : Same as for Boiled Salmon.
This fish is very seldom broiled. When it is, it may be accompanied by the same sauces as Broiled Salmon.
Have a middle cut of salmon and cook it as indicated for Carp, Chambord Style, using white wine instead of claret; finish the sauce with half tomato and half veloute sauce and lobster butter. Garnish with mushrooms, shrimps and fried oysters.
