Chef Alain’s Weekly Recipe
Steamed Salmon and Broccoli with Mustard Dill Vinaigrette
One of my favorite ways to eat salmon. A one pot dish, on the dinner table in 20 minutes and loaded with goodness: omega-3 fatty acids, protein, beta-carotene, vitamin K, niacin, selenium, and tryptophan.
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 20 min
Cost per person: $4.42
INGREDIENTS
Broccoli:
– 2 broccoli heads, cut florets, peel and slice the stem
– 1 Tbsp olive oil
– 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
Salmon:
– 1 lb salmon filet, skin and bones removed and cut into 4 pieces
– 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
– Sea salt and white pepper to taste
Mustard Dill Vinaigrette:
– 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
– 2 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
– 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
– ¼ tsp salt
– ¼ tsp white pepper
– 2 Tbsp olive oil
PROCEDURE
1. Bring 1 inch of lightly salted water to a boil in a steamer with a tight fitting lid.
2. While water is coming to a boil, in a small bowl, whisk mustard, lemon juice, dill and spices together. When this is done, drizzle in olive oil while whisking until incorporated. Set aside.
3. Cut off the broccoli florets. Peel and slice the stem into thin slices. If you still have the leaves, include them too.
4. When water comes to boil, place broccoli florets, stem and leaves in the steamer basket, cover, and cook about 3-5 minutes, depending on thickness. Remove from steamer, toss with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.
5. Rub salmon with lemon juice, season with a little salt and pepper.
6. Place salmon in the same steamer basket, cover and steam until pink inside, about 3-4 minutes.
7. Place salmon on plates and pour the vinaigrette over it and the broccoli.
