Chestnut Stuffed Wild Alaska Salmon Recipe

Directions

1. Peel the celery and cut into small pieces. Place in a large saucepan and add water. Cover and cook until celery is tender (about 45 minutes/1 hour over high heat). Once cooked, add the butter. Sprinkle with nutmeg, salt and pepper and mix everything.

2. In the meantime, peel and finely chop the shallot. In a plate, mash about twenty chestnuts and add half of the shallot and the 2 Tablespoons of olive oil. Mix everything together.

3. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut the fish lengthwise. Put the stuffing inside and close it. Place stuffed portions in a baking dish. Arrange the remaining chestnuts all around. Pour a Tablespoon of olive oil, the second half of the shallot and the dill over the salmon and season with pepper. Bake for 10 minutes.

4. Form small dumplings from the celery puree with two spoons and sprinkle with parsley. Arrange the salmon and some baked chestnuts in front of the puree.
