Salmon Cannelloni with Lemon Cream Sause:

For the Crespelle
2 large eggs
2/3 cup water
1/2 cup ap flour
1/4 T finely chopped tarragon
3 T unsalted butter, melted
For the Sauce
2 T unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2T ap flour
1 (8oz) bottle clam juice
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 t finely grated lemon zest
1/4 t black pepper
For Salmon Canneloni
2 T unsalted butter softened
1 shallot, finely chopped
1/2 t salt
1/2 t black pepper
6 (5oz center cut salmon filets)

Make Crespelle:
Blend together eggs, water, flour and salt in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in tarraton. Lightly brush at l0" nonstick skillet with butter and heat over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Ladle about l/4 cup batter into skillet, tilting and rotating skillet to coat bottom, then pour excess batter back into bowl. (if batter sets before skillet is coated, reduce heat slightly for next crespella). Cook until just set and underside is lightly browned, about 30 seconds, then invert onto a clean kitchen towel in one layer to cool. (It will be cooked on one side only). Make 5 more crespelle with remaining batter in the same manner, brushing skilled with butter as needed and transferring to towel in one layer.

Make Sause: Heat butter in 1-2quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat until foam subsides. Add flour and cook, whisking, 2 minutes. Add clam juice and water in a slow stream, whisking, then bring to a boi, whisking. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, 5 minutes. Stir in cream, zest and pepper, then remove from heat.

Assemble Cannelloni: Put oven rack in middle and preheat to 425F. Butter and13x9" (or other 3 quart) dish and spread 1/2 of sauce. Stir together butter (2T), shallot, salt, and pepper and spread 1 t on top of each filet. Put 1 crespella, pale side down, on a work surface, then place 1 salmon filet, buttered side down, in center of prespella and fold crespella around salmon, leaving ends open. Transfer to baking dish, arranging seam side down in sauce. Make5 more cannelloni with remaining salmon and crespelle in same manner, arranging in baking dish. Spoon remaining sauce over cannelloni. Bake until salmon is just cooked through and sauce is bubbling - 15 to 20 min.

Notes: I made 4 servings, but a complete sauce recipe.

This is yummy, yummy, yummy. When I make it next I'll swap out the tarragon for dill, because I love dill with everything and salmon in particular. But I thought I should follow the reciple, as written, the first time I try it.

I'm no pro like many of you, but after typing it up for you folks, I became aware of a couple of goofs. No matter how many times you think you've read a recipe, if it's complicated (not that this was - but it was unfamiliar), it might be a good idea to copy it before trying.

This is the best recipe I've read in a long time. I always have salmon in the freezer and happen to have some clam juice leftover from the chowder this weekend!

No matter what it is, I always want extra sauce.
