Keep It Simple Salmon Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

   Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash with butter, salt, and pepper to taste.

2. 2

   Cook the Asparagus

   In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

3. 3

   Make the Citrus Thyme Beurre Blanc

   In a saucepan, combine lemon juice, heavy cream, and thyme. Simmer until reduced by half. Gradually whisk in the butter until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Cook the Salmon

   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and flaky.

5. 5

   Plate the Dish

   On each plate, serve a portion of mashed potatoes, top with asparagus, and place the cooked salmon on the side. Drizzle the citrus thyme beurre blanc over the salmon and serve immediately.
