Salmon

Method

Preparation of Salmon and Cauliflower

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Season the organic salmon fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Salmon

    Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned salmon fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Char the Cauliflower

    In the same skillet, add the seasoned cauliflower florets. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the cauliflower is charred and tender. Remove from heat.

Beer Blanc Sauce

  1. 5

    Make the Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Pour in the beer and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until reduced by half.

  2. 6

    Finish the Sauce

    Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Plating

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, place a portion of charred cowboy cauliflower, top with a seared salmon fillet, and drizzle with the beer blanc sauce. Garnish with shaved Manchego cheese and red chile flakes to taste.
