Focaccia Gremolata-Crusted Salmon

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gremolata Crust

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a food processor, pulse the focaccia bread until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the chopped parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press the gremolata mixture onto the top of each fillet, ensuring it's evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Bake the Salmon

    Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is flaky and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Make the Mashed Potatoes

    While the salmon is baking, peel and chop the Yukon gold potatoes. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add butter and milk, then mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Ratatouille

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add zucchini, bell pepper, and eggplant. Sauté until softened, about 7-10 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce and simmer for another 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the salmon with a generous scoop of mashed potatoes and a side of ratatouille. Drizzle aged balsamic vinegar over the salmon before serving.
