Mini Open Faced Corn Cake And Salmon Salad Sandwiches With Beluga Caviar

  • Yield: 32 ìsandwichesî

Ingredients

  • CORN CAKES:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup corn kernels (from 1 to 2 ears corn)
  • 2 tablespoons minced shallots
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup bleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup masa harina (available at Latin markets and many supermarkets)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon Creole Seasoning
  • SALMON SALAD:
  • 1/2 pound smoked salmon, chopped
  • 6 Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon capers, finely minced, plus 1 teaspoon juice from the bottle
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup Mayonnaise, or
  • store-bought mayonnaise
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 ounces beluga caviar, or 4 ounces sevruga
  • 2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives

Directions

  • To make the corn cakes, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the corn, shallots, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and the black pepper. Cook, stirring, until the corn and shallots are tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Whisk the cream and eggs in a large bowl. Whisk in the cornmeal, flour, masa harina, baking powder, cayenne, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 cup water. Fold in the corn mixture.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Using 1 tablespoon of batter for each corn cake, drop the batter into the skillet. (You can cook about 8 at a time.) Cook until golden brown, about 11/2 minutes on each side, adding more oil as necessary. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with the Essence.
  • To make salad, toss the salmon in a mixing bowl with the eggs, capers, and caper juice. Mix well. Stir in the mayonnaise to taste. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon of the salad over each corn cake and garnish with the caviar and chives.
