Salmon

Sesame Squash

Roasted Red Pepper

Avocado Salsa

Gingered Sweet Potatoes

Mango-Peach Puree

Method

Salmon

1

Prepare the Salmon

In a bowl, marinate the salmon fillets with plum wine, olive oil, salt, and black pepper for at least 30 minutes.

2

Cook the Salmon

Preheat the grill or oven to medium-high heat. Cook the marinated salmon for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Sesame Squash

3

Prepare the Butternut Squash

Peel and cube the butternut squash. In a skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat and add the squash cubes. Season with salt.

4

Cook the Squash

Sauté the squash for about 10-12 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.

Roasted Red Pepper

5

Roast the Peppers

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the red bell peppers in half and remove the seeds. Toss them with olive oil and salt.

6

Bake the Peppers

Place the peppers cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until the skins are charred. Remove from the oven, cover with foil, and let them steam for 10 minutes. Peel the skins off and set aside.

Avocado Salsa

7

Prepare the Avocado Salsa

In a bowl, mash the ripe avocados and mix in lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt to taste.

Gingered Sweet Potatoes

8

Cook the Sweet Potatoes

Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.

9

Mix with Ginger

Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Add fresh ginger, brown sugar, and salt, then mash until smooth.

Mango-Peach Puree

10

Make the Puree

In a blender, combine the mango, peach, and honey. Blend until smooth and creamy.
