Tips for Experienced Cooks

To elevate the flavors, consider lightly toasting the herbs before adding them to the salmon. This extra step can bring out their oils and enhance the dish's aroma and taste. Additionally, be precise with your seasoning on each component, emphasizing balance. For the cauliflower mash, infusing the cream with garlic by gently heating it before adding can add a subtle complexity to the dish. Lastly, consider the presentation; layering the salmon and asparagus artistically over the cauliflower mash can make the dish visually appealing.

Step 1: Preheat oven and prepare salmon

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Top with lemon slices, dill, and parsley.

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Step 2: Roast asparagus

In a separate baking sheet, toss the asparagus with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Put both baking sheets in the oven and roast for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the asparagus is tender.

  • 1 lb asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Step 3: Prepare cauliflower mash

Meanwhile, cut the cauliflower into florets and steam until tender. Drain well. In a large bowl, mash the cauliflower with butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
