Method

Cooking the Salmon

  1. 1

    Sear the Salmon

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Place salmon skin-side down in the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Serve with lemon wedges.

Preparing the Lentil & Quinoa

  1. 2

    Cook Lentils and Quinoa

    In a saucepan, combine lentils, quinoa, vegetable broth, garlic, onion, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes until lentils and quinoa are tender. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.

Making the Cauliflower and Parsnip Puree

  1. 3

    Prepare the Puree

    In a pot, add cauliflower and parsnips with enough water to cover. Boil until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to pot. Add butter, salt, pepper, and heavy cream. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Making the Chive Oil

  1. 4

    Blend Chive Oil

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