Method

Prepare the Smoked Eggplant Purée

  1. 1

    Roast the Eggplant

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prick the eggplant with a fork and place it on a baking sheet. Roast for about 30-40 minutes until soft and charred. Let it cool, then scoop out the flesh.

  2. 2

    Blend the Purée

    In a blender, combine the roasted eggplant, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Prepare the Vegetables Provençal

  1. 3

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables, herbs de Provence, salt, and pepper. Sauté for about 8-10 minutes until tender.

Prepare the Artichoke Chips

  1. 5

    Prepare the Artichoke Hearts

    Drain and rinse the canned artichoke hearts. Pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 6

    Bake the Chips

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss artichoke hearts with olive oil and salt. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until crispy.

Cook the Salmon

  1. 7

    Season the Salmon

    Season the salmon fillets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 8

    Pan-Roast the Salmon

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear the salmon, skin-side down, for about 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

Serve
