Recipe collaboration with The Barley Merchant

Ingredients:

• 2 x 6 oz. Wild BC Salmon fillets

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 2.5 tbsp salted butter

• 2 tbsp caesar butter

• 1 cup gnocchi

• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes

• 1/2 cup broccolini

• 2/3 cup lemon herb infused cream

• 1 1/4 tsp mustard

• 3/4 tsp brown sugar

• 2 tsp chilli oil

• 2 tsp dill oil

• Green onion, to garnish

Method:

1. COOK THE SALMON

   Place salmon on pan with olive oil. Sear for 3-4 minutes, flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

2. COOK THE SIDE DISHES

   In a stainless steal skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Once butter foams, add gnocchi, broccolini and whole cherry tomatoes. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until gnocchi is seared, tomatoes blistered, and broccolini cooked. Add caesar butter to pan and toss together. Remove from heat.

3. HEAT UP SAUCE

   Re-heat lemon cream sauce on the stovetop or microwave until warmed through.

4. GLAZE THE SALMON

   In a small bowl, combine mustard and brown sugar and stir until smooth to make a glaze. Once salmon is cooked, coat with brown sugar mustard glaze.

5. PLATE & GARNISH

   Plate the dish into a pasta bowl starting with gnocchi. Add whole tomatoes, broccolini, and top with salmon. Pour over lemon herb cream sauce. Garnish with chilli oil, dill oil, and curly green onion.
