Method

For the Pan Seared Atlantic Salmon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  3. 3

    Sear the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes without moving them until the skin is crispy.

  4. 4

    Flip and Finish Cooking

    Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the salmon with lemon wedges on the side.

For the Root Vegetable Succotash

  1. 6

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In the same skillet used for the salmon, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Add the minced shallots and garlic, sautéing for 2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 7

    Cook the Vegetables

    Add the diced carrots, parsnips, and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 8

    Add Broth and Season

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add fresh thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 5 more minutes.

  4. 9

    Combine and Serve

    Once done, remove from heat and serve the succotash alongside the pan-seared salmon.

For the Citrus Corn Purée

  1. 10

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a blender, combine fresh corn kernels, heavy cream, orange juice, and lemon zest.

  2. 11

    Purée Until Smooth

    Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, add a little more cream as needed.

  3. 12

    Season and Serve

    Taste and add salt as needed. Serve the purée warm alongside the salmon and succotash.
