Crispy Seared Salmon with Garlic Mashers and Brussels Sprouts

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Balsamic Reduction

    In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and reduce until thickened, about 10-15 minutes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Garlic Mashers

    Peel and chop potatoes. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain, then mash with butter, milk, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Cook the Brussels Sprouts

    Trim and halve Brussels sprouts. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add Brussels sprouts and sauté until golden and tender, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Sear the Salmon

    Pat salmon fillets dry and season with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until crispy. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

  5. 5

    Plate and Serve

    On each plate, place a generous scoop of garlic mashers, add the sautéed Brussels sprouts, and top with the crispy salmon. Drizzle with balsamic reduction before serving.
