For the Seared Salmon

For the Meyer-Lemon Emulsion

For the Petite Arugula Salad

Method

Prepare the Salmon

  1. 1

    Season the Salmon

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the salmon fillets on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Salmon

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down, and sear for about 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

Make the Meyer-Lemon Emulsion

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together Meyer lemon juice and egg yolk until well combined.

  2. 4

    Emulsify

    Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking continuously until the mixture thickens. Season with a pinch of salt.

Prepare the Sweet Corn Risotto

  1. 5

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped shallots and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent.

  2. 6

    Toast the Rice

    Add Arborio rice to the saucepan and toast for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

  3. 7

    Add Broth Gradually

    Start adding the vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously. Wait until the liquid is mostly absorbed before adding more. This should take about 20 minutes.

  4. 8

    Incorporate Corn and Cheese

    When the rice is al dente, stir in the sweet corn kernels and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until creamy.

Prepare the Petite Arugula Salad

  1. 9

    Dress the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine arugula, halved cherry tomatoes, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Toss gently to coat.

  2. 10

    Add Cornbread Croutons and Bacon

    Gently fold in the cornbread cubes and crumbled bacon just before serving.
