Fresh Asparagus

Method

Dijon Crusted Salmon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Make the Dijon Mixture

    In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Coat the Salmon

    Spread the Dijon mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.

  4. 4

    Add the Panko Topping

    In another bowl, mix together panko breadcrumbs and chopped parsley. Press this mixture onto the mustard-coated salmon fillets.

  5. 5

    Bake the Salmon

    Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.

Spezia Mashed Potatoes

  1. 6

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 7

    Drain and Mash

    Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes until smooth.

  3. 8

    Add Cream and Butter

    Add butter, heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Stir until creamy and well combined.

Porcini Sauce

  1. 9

    Prepare the Mushrooms

    Soak the dried porcini mushrooms in warm water for about 20 minutes, then drain and chop.

  2. 10

    Cook Shallots

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced shallots and sauté until soft and translucent.

  3. 11

    Make the Sauce

    Add the chopped porcini mushrooms and vegetable broth to the saucepan. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and black pepper.

Fresh Asparagus

  1. 12

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Wash and trim the asparagus, removing the tough ends.

  2. 13

    Cook the Asparagus

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add asparagus, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still crisp.
