1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash with butter, salt, and pepper to taste.
2
Prepare the Asparagus
Trim the ends of the asparagus and blanch in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until bright green. Drain and set aside.
3
Prepare the Salmon
In a bowl, mix together chopped fresh herbs, olive oil, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Rub this herb mixture over the salmon fillets.
4
Sear the Salmon
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
5
Make Lemon Butter Sauce
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add lemon juice and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6
Plate the Dish
On each plate, serve a generous scoop of whipped potatoes, top with the seared salmon, arrange asparagus on the side, and drizzle with lemon butter sauce.
