Salmon with Cauliflower and Truffle Puree and Lemon Gremolata

Lemon Gremolata

  • 6 capers
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 bunch flat leaf parsley, chopped
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Combine all ingredients in small bowl, set aside.

Cauliflower and Truffle Purée

  • 1 large head of cauliflower
  • 2 teaspoons truffle paste (optional)
  • 1.5 cups chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons cream
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • Salt & pepper

Carve the green leaves and the stem from the head of cauliflower and break the head into florets.

Add the florets and the stock to a pot, cover, bring to a boil, then lower the heat so the stock is simmering. Cook the cauliflower until it is meltingly tender.

Drain the stock from the cauliflower.

Mash the cauliflower well with a potato masher, then stir in the truffle, butter and cream.

Adjust the seasoning with salt and a twist or two of fresh cracked pepper, set aside.

Salmon

  • 4 pieces Salmon filet (option to use chicken breast instead)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt & pepper

Season each side of the salmon with salt and pepper and sear in a hot pan with oil until golden. Finish in oven to your desired doneness.

Once the gremolata, puree and salmon are prepared assemble this dish by placing a little puree at the bottom of the plate, place the salmon on top of the puree and gremolata on top of the salmon...et Voila!
