Ingredients
Salmon and Mussels:
4 6-oz salmon fillets, boneless and skin removed
16 mussels, cleaned and de-bearded
2 tablespoons toasted fennel seeds
2 tablespoons toasted coriander seeds
1/2 tablespoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
3 scallions, finely sliced, for garnish
ΒΌ bunch cilantro, for garnish
Couscous:
1 cup couscous
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
8 frozen cubes of chicken stock (about 2 tablespoons per cube)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Curry Butter:
1 stick of unsalted butter
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 fresh red chile, roughly chopped
1 clove of garlic, peeled
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper |
Directions
Yield: serves 4
Time: 45 minutes
Pop 2 sheet trays into the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
Begin by making a seasoning with fennel and coriander seed and salt and pepper. Pound spices with salt and pepper in a mortar and pestle until you have a rough powder. Make curry butter by combining ingredients in a food processor and pulsing until smooth. Season salmon with half of the spice mix and set aside remaining mix for couscous. In a large mixing bowl combine couscous, cilantro, lemon zest and remaining seasoning. Stir well to combine. Then divide evenly amongst four large pieces or parchment (big enough to create a folded pocket for the salmon. Nestle into the couscous 2 frozen chicken stock cubes for each portion. Top with the piece of salmon and then smear a tablespoon of the curry butter on top. Squeeze lemon juice over the top of each piece of fish and couscous then set 4 mussels around the fish in each packet. Fold over the parchment to create a pocket and trim paper to make a heart shape. Crimp over the edges, working from one end to the other to secure the paper tightly then brush with olive oil so the paper doesn't burn. Carefully transfer the parchment pockets to the hot sheet trays (you will probably need to put 2 per tray) then bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
When done, the paper will puff up. Cut open tableside with scissors and shower with fresh chopped scallions and cilantro.

Carrie Fisher and Matt Dallas both in one show?! You can't do any better than that. I'm a huge fan of Star Wars and Kyle XY so it was great seeing them both. Would have been nice if Matt Dallas had a longer segment though. I can't wait to see the new third season of Kyle XY!! Thanks Bonnie for having them on the show.

Thanks for having Matt Dallas from Kyle XY on your show!!:):)
Thank you for having Matt Dallas on the show. I would have preferred more time with him then anyone else on the program, even Tyler, as great as he is.
Would it be possible to bring Matt back and have a longer segment with him where the audience or even e mail questions may be asked of him?
I for one, would really appreciate this.
Thank you for the Matt Dallas segment today, even though it was too short.

I have been a big fan or yours for many years Bonnie. I think you are so talented and funny. I was so excited when I heard you were getting your own talk show. I hope it is very successful. You deserve it girl!
Today I got to see two of my favorite people together in the same place, Bonnie Hunt and Matt Dallas!! Great interview! Thanks so much for having him on your show! We members of the LMDSF (Legion of Matt Dallas Swooning Fans) all had our vcr's, TiVo's and DVR's programmed for todays show! You made our day Bonnie! Thank you so much!!
BTW, where will the auction be for the items Matt signed? I want to bid on that script!!
I very much enjoyed your show today. I'll be honest and say I've only seen it a couple of times before but today I tuned in because you had Matt Dallas on your show. I loved his interview but I wish it could have been longer. Perhaps you could invite him back sometime. I'd actually love to be in the audience for that.
