Salmon and Spring Vegetables
Serves 4
What to Pair With
This time of year I like to highlight ingredients that usher in a feeling of spring. This recipe takes a number of seasonal vegetables that will enhance any dinner you have planned. Consider this for your Easter table.
Most of this menu can be made ahead of time and either reheated or served at room temperature. This pea puree is made with frozen baby peas because I find that they thinner skins and puree more easily. Fresh peas are great as well, but you might get a more chunky texture. I did not add mint this time, but process a handful of mint leaves along with the peas for an added boost of spring flavor.
To finish the dish add some lemon zest to make the plate pop. Microgreens are the early sprouts of vegetables and add a fresh element to the meal. Enjoy!
