SALMON AND NEW POTATOES ON A BED OF GARDEN VEGGIES AND WHITE WINE SAUCE...

Salmon is one of the tastiest kind of fish out there and doesnt need to be fussed over, its one of the pricier kinds of fish but its so good for you and even on its own is quite filling.

Smoked Salmon Fillet (with skin on)
4 New Potatoes
Garden Salad Mix
200ml Single Cream
1/2 Cup White Wine
Salt and Pepper
Parsley
Garlic Powder
Onions (chopped)
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Teaspoon Butter

Mix salt, black pepper and garlic powder and rub on your cut of salmon and set aside for about 15 minutes.

Wash potatoes properly and boil with skin on until tender.



Add 1 Tablespoon of olive oil in pan and put the fish in, skin side down first and allow to get a good sear. Don't move it around, just let it be for about 3 - 5 minutes, then gently flip over and allow the other side sit for the same amount of time.

Flip back the the skin side down, turn down the heat and cover the pan for about 2 minutes so that you are sure its cooked all the way through. The time really depends on how thick your cut of salmon is.

Take out and note how crisp the skin is.


In same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil and butter then add chopped onions. Season as required the pour in cream and wine. Turn heat down and allow to simmer till it reduces to a thick creamy consistency again.

Lay a bed of veggies on your plate, add potatoes and break it open. Garnish with chopped parsley, plate fish and cover all with white wine sauce.


Voila!
Enjoy!
