Ingredients

For the Salmon

For the Creamy Parmesan Sun Dried Tomato Sauce

For the Wilted Spinach

For the Black Rice

For the Heirloom Carrots

Preparation

Cooking the Black Rice

1. Prepare the Black Rice

Rinse the black rice under cold water. In a medium pot, combine black rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Preparing the Heirloom Carrots

2. Sauté the Heirloom Carrots

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced heirloom carrots, season with salt, and sauté for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized. Set aside.

Cooking the Spinach

3. Wilt the Spinach

In the same skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add fresh spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

Making the Sauce

4. Prepare the Creamy Sauce

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in chopped sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, and grated parmesan cheese. Allow to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Stir in chopped basil and set aside.

Cooking the Salmon

5. Pan-Seared Salmon

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Place the salmon skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until crispy. Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

Plating

6. Assemble the Dish

On each plate, add a serving of black rice, top with wilted spinach, place a salmon fillet on top, and drizzle with creamy parmesan sun-dried tomato sauce. Arrange sautéed heirloom carrots on the side.
