Hot Honey Salmon

Avocado and Cucumber

Torched Cream Cheese

Method

Hot Honey Salmon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix together the hot honey, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush the honey mixture over the salmon evenly.

  2. 2

    Bake the Salmon

    Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Shrimp Tempura

  1. 3

    Prepare the Tempura Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the tempura batter mix with cold water. Mix gently until just combined; some lumps are okay. Do not overmix.

  2. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Dip each shrimp into the tempura batter, allowing excess to drip off, and carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry the shrimp in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Avocado and Cucumber

  1. 5

    Slice the Vegetables

    While the salmon and shrimp are cooking, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out. Cut the avocado into thin slices. Peel and slice the cucumber into thin rounds.

Torched Cream Cheese

  1. 6

    Prepare the Cream Cheese

    In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with sour cream and chopped chives until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe dish.

  2. 7

    Torch the Cream Cheese

    Using a kitchen torch, carefully torch the top of the cream cheese mixture until it is lightly browned and bubbly. If you don't have a torch, you can place it under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
