Method
Salmon Preparation
Prepare the Salmon
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the skin-on salmon fillets with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon. Place them skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the Salmon
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through.
Cinnamon Spaghetti Squash
Roast the Squash
Place the squash cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes until tender. Once cooked, scrape the insides with a fork to create spaghetti-like strands.
Spinach & Pecan Pesto Cream
Make the Pesto
In a food processor, combine fresh spinach, pecans, Parmesan cheese, garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
Creamify the Pesto
Transfer the pesto to a saucepan and heat gently over low heat to warm it through. Add a splash of water if it becomes too thick.
Pecan Tuille
Prepare the Tuille Mixture
In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg whites, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Fold in the chopped pecans.
Bake the Tuille
Spoon small amounts of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread them thinly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes until golden. Let cool before removing from the sheet.
Assembly
Plate the Dish
On a plate, create a bed of cinnamon spaghetti squash, top with the salmon fillet, drizzle with spinach & pecan pesto cream, and garnish with pomegranate seeds and pecan tuilles.
