Salmon in Lemon Bordetto With Edamame Puree Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 shallot, diced
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup mint leaves
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 2 cups fat-free chicken broth
- 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 4 oz pieces of salmon
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
Lemon Bordetto
- Warm olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and saute until tender, about 7 minutes. Add the lemon juice, zest, and broth. Bring to a simmer and keep warm, over low heat.
Edamame Puree
- Combine the edamame, mint, garlic, salt, and pepper in a food processor and puree. With the machine, add olive oil in a steady drizzle. Transfer the puree to a small bowl, stir in the parmesan cheese and set aside.
- Warm olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over high heat. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Sear salmon until golden crust forms, about 4-5 minutes on the first side. Flip the fish and continue cooking until medium-rare, about 2 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish.
- To assemble, add the tbs of chopped mint to the Lemon Bordetto and divide between 4 shallow dishes. Place a spoonful of edamame puree into the center of each bowl. Place a salmon piece atop each mound.
