Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Rhubarb Agrodolce

Chop the rhubarb into small pieces. In a saucepan, combine rhubarb, sugar, and a splash of water. Cook over medium heat until the rhubarb breaks down and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

2

Cook the Quinoa

Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a pot, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.

3

Brown the Butter

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue to cook until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Mix the brown butter with the cooked quinoa and set aside.

4

Prepare the Drop Peppers

Sauté the drop peppers in olive oil over medium heat until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

5

Make the Pear Salsa

Dice the pear and mix it with chopped dill, a pinch of salt, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Set aside.

6

Cook the Salmon

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through. Brush with rhubarb agrodolce during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

7

Serve

Plate the salmon with a side of brown butter quinoa, sautéed drop peppers, and top with pear salsa. Drizzle extra rhubarb agrodolce if desired.
