Salmon

Sesame Squash

Roasted Red Pepper

Avocado Salsa

Gingered Sweet Potatoes

Mango-Peach Puree

Method

Salmon

  1. 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. 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

  1. 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.

  2. 4

    Cook the Squash

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

Roasted Red Pepper

  1. 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.

  2. 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

  1. 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

  1. 8

    Cook the Sweet Potatoes

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

  2. 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

  1. 10

    Make the Puree

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