Salmon

Roasted Cauliflower

Beluga Lentils & Quinoa

Chive Oil

Method

Salmon

  1. 1

    Sear the Salmon

    Season the Atlantic salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

Roasted Cauliflower

  1. 2

    Roast the Cauliflower

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and tender.

Parsnip Puree

  1. 3

    Prepare the Parsnip Puree

    In a saucepan, boil parsnips in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth using an immersion blender or food processor.

Beluga Lentils & Quinoa

  1. 4

    Cook the Lentils and Quinoa

    In a saucepan, combine beluga lentils, quinoa, vegetable broth, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes until both the lentils and quinoa are cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

Chive Oil

  1. 5

    Make Chive Oil

    In a blender, combine chopped chives, olive oil, and salt. Blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove solids if desired.
