Ingredients

  1. 5 ounces salmon, skin off
  2. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  3. 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
  4. 1 teaspoon slivered garlic
  5. 1 teaspoon minced shallots
  6. 2 ounces canned cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  7. 1 cup spinach
  8. 1 ounce lemon juice
  9. 1 ounce vegetable or fish stock
  10. 1 tablespoon capers, lightly chopped
  11. 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
  12. 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Dry the salmon with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet with 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil over medium-high heat, add the salmon and sear for 3 minutes on each side.
  2. Meanwhile, in a separate pan, heat the remaining tablespoon grapeseed oil over medium heat and saute the garlic and shallots until translucent, about 1 minute. Add the cannellini beans and warm for 2 minutes. Add the spinach and wilt for 1 minute.
  3. Remove the salmon from the hot pan, add the lemon juice, stock and capers and reduce to make a glaze, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the butter and emulsify, turning off the heat and mixing until all is incorporated. Season with salt and pepper and add the parsley.
  4. On a plate, add the cannellini and spinach mix. Place the salmon on top and spoon the sauce over the salmon.

Absolutely delicious!

I chose to puree some of the beans along with garlic, onion and bell pepper and made it into a sauce base for the salmon. I also took a more liberal spin using Mexican spices along the way. Amazing!
