Captain's Plate Components

Method

Overview and Mise en Place

  1. 1

    Make lemon garlic butter

    Melt 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Remove from heat and keep warm.

  2. 2

    Prepare seafood and rice

    Pat salmon fillets dry; season with salt and pepper. Brush lightly with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Reheat 2 cups cooked jasmine rice; keep warm.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear salmon

    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon fillets 4–5 minutes per side or until cooked to your preference. Brush with a portion of the lemon butter in the last minute of cooking.

  2. 4

    Cook shrimp

    Season 12 large shrimp with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a separate skillet, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium-high. Sauté shrimp 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Add minced garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice in the last 30 seconds.

  3. 5

    Warm rice and grill vegetables

    Warm the 2 cups cooked jasmine rice in a microwave or on the stove. Fluff with a fork. Toss 1 cup mixed grilled vegetables with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, then grill or sauté 3–4 minutes per side until tender and lightly charred.

Plating

  1. 6

    Plate and garnish

    Spoon rice onto plates. Top with salmon fillet and arrange shrimp alongside. Add grilled vegetables. Place 1 lemon wedge on each plate and sprinkle chopped parsley over the dish. Drizzle any remaining lemon butter over the fish and serve immediately.
