Serves 4

Ingredients

4 boneless salmon steaks

1 head romanesco cauliflower

Chef TIp: You can substitute regular cauliflower

1 quart diced butternut squash

Chef TIp: You can substitute pumpkin

8oz mesclun lettuces

Chef Tip: You can buy a bag of pre-washed greens at the grocery store

1 clove garlic

1/4 olive oil

2 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar

Chef Tip: When shopping for balsamic vinegar, avoid anything with the word caramel in the ingredients list

Salt to taste

Procedure

Cut the cauliflower into florets. In a large sauté pan cook the squash and cauliflower over medium-high heat in 2tbsp of the olive oil until golden brown and tender. (5 minutes)

Chef Tip: Boil the vegetables for 1-2 minutes first to soften them. It will speed the sauté cooking process

Chef Tip: When sautéing, make sure your pan is very hot before adding the vegetables to prevent sticking

Turn the heat down, smash the whole garlic clove, add it to the pan and cook for 1 minute. Then shut off. the stove.

Chef Tip: Remove the garlic before serving so you you just get the flavor infusion

While your vegetables are cooking, season the salmon with salt on both sides and sear in a hot cast iron skillet with a little olive oil. 2 minutes per side (3 for a more well-done preparation)

Chef Tip: The salt will lock in the salmon flavor

Chef Tip: You want to make sure the pan is sizzling hot to keep the salmon from sticking as well.

Place the lettuces in a large mixing bowl, season with salt and drizzle with a little olive oil & balsamic vinegar

Chef Tidbit: The word salad comes from the Latin herba salata, meaning salted vegetables

Put the cooked vegetables on your serving plate

Chef Tip: Be generous with your vegetable serving; it will give the salad good texture and different levels of sweetness

Top with a handful of your dressed lettuce and then place your salmon on top of that.

Drizzle with balsamic vinegar & enjoy!
