Salmon & Sage
This is it. A new recipe to throw into your weekly rotation! Salmon & Sage is a must on our shopping list, if not weekly at least biweekly. It’s a perfect quick week-night dinner or elegant enough to serve with company. We know, we know, you can thank us later! And trust us, you will!
We’ve made this delicious recipe with The Olive Oil – which you can purchase right here on our Shop. Our wine pairing suggestion is either a stainless-steel Chardonnay or a lighter Pinot Noir. The recipe as shown below includes Lima Beans as we found those fresh at the Farmer’s Market but we’ve added other green elements such as spinach or zucchini as well. Enjoy!
Salmon & Sage
Recipe for 4 – Ingredients:
1. Bourbon-marinated Salmon portions (4). The pre-marinated portions can be found at speciality markets such as Sprouts or Wholefoods but if not accessible a Cajun Seasoning would suffice.
2. Carrots – (6) washed, peeled & diced or a 16 oz bag of baby carrots, diced
3. Tomatoes – 20 oz or (2) small containers, cut in half
4. Shallot – 1 medium, diced
5. Sage – Small handful, chopped
6. Green element – Lima Beans (handful or two), Spinach (5 oz) bag, chopped) or Zucchini (2 small, chopped) – Your choice!
7. The Olive Oil – 1 tablespoon
8. Salt, Pepper & Garlic Powder (or minced garlic could work!) – To taste
Salmon:
Have you ever broiled your Salmon instead of baking, grilling or frying? Since learning the difference – broiling is our favorite. The broil setting caramelizes and toasts the top. When baking fish have you ever notice the fatty particles (albumin) that float to the top of the fish? Grilling is always delicious but does take extra time. Frying, of course, we’ve never turned down a fried fish. But, for the sake of ease and health, broil and don’t turn back! Mmmmm!
Place oven on broil (high). Place Salmon portions on baking sheet with a nonstick surface, skin down. Pop it in the oven – broil until blacken and crispy – 15 – 20 minutes. Easy.
Sage Veggie Medley:
Start by drizzling The Olive Oil and placing the shallots in a sauté pan, medium heat. Next, add the diced carrots. You’ll want to add the veggies to the pan in order of length of time needing to be cooked so depending on your green element choice, zucchini for example, might go next, or after the tomatoes if choosing spinach. Add the tomatoes, stir frequently. Finally, add the chopped sage and season to taste. The process usually takes 10 – 15 minutes and is complete right as the Salmon is finishing up in the oven. All of the veggies should be soft but firm when done. Plate, and… wha..la!
Enjoy! Cheers!
