Salmon

Sun-Dried Tomato Beurre Blanc

Garlic-Shallot Mashed Potatoes

Grilled Asparagus

Method

Salmon Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Season the salmon fillet with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Salmon

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the salmon skin-side down and sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Sun-Dried Tomato Beurre Blanc

  1. 3

    Sauté Shallots and Garlic

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chopped shallot and minced garlic, and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 4

    Deglaze the Pan

    Pour in the white wine (or chicken broth) and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until reduced by half.

  3. 5

    Finish the Sauce

    Lower the heat and gradually whisk in the remaining butter until melted and the sauce is smooth. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Keep warm.

Garlic-Shallot Mashed Potatoes

  1. 6

    Boil the Potatoes

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

  2. 7

    Sauté Shallots and Garlic

    In a separate skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced shallot and garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 8

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the sautéed shallots and garlic, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Grilled Asparagus

  1. 9

    Prepare Asparagus

    Wash and trim the asparagus spears. Toss them in olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 10

    Grill the Asparagus

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the asparagus for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and slightly charred.
