Honey Pepper Salmon

Spezia Mashed Potatoes

Fresh Asparagus

Method

Honey Pepper Salmon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Honey and Pepper

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

  3. 3

    Coat the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the honey pepper mixture generously over the fillets.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Spezia Mashed Potatoes

  1. 5

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 6

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, garlic powder, and salt. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Porcini Sauce

  1. 7

    Rehydrate the Mushrooms

    In a bowl, soak the dried porcini mushrooms in warm water for about 30 minutes until softened. Drain and chop.

  2. 8

    Cook the Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine chicken broth and chopped porcini mushrooms. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes.

  3. 9

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Fresh Asparagus

  1. 10

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the tough ends off the asparagus. Rinse under cold water.

  2. 11

    Sauté the Asparagus

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add asparagus and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until bright green and tender. Season with salt to taste.
