Recipe
Seared sockeye salmon, garlicky greens
Crisp-skin salmon with green beans and zucchini.
Ingredients
- Sockeye salmon — 6 oz (1 fillet)
- Green beans — 3 oz (handful)
- Zucchini — 3½ oz (½, sliced)
- Garlic-infused olive oil — 1 Tbsp
- Dill
- Lemon
- Sea salt & pepper
Method
- Pat the salmon dry, season. Sear skin-side down in a little oil over medium 4–5 minutes until crisp, then flip under a minute to 120–130°F (49–54°C).
- Sauté the green beans and zucchini in the oil 4–5 minutes; season.
- Plate the greens, top with salmon, finish with dill and lemon.
Notes
Sockeye is leaner and brighter-tasting than Atlantic — the 120–130°F finish keeps it just translucent at the spine. Pulling at 130°F gives a 5-degree carry-over to a perfect medium.
