Salmon with burnt butter colcannon is a delightful dish that combines the rich flavors of crispy salmon with the creamy, buttery goodness of colcannon, a traditional Irish potato dish. Perfect for a special dinner, this recipe brings together simple ingredients to create a memorable meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- While the potatoes are cooking, melt the 1/3 cup butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook the butter until it turns a golden brown color and takes on a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Be cautious not to let it burn.
- Set aside all but 2 tablespoons of the burnt butter.
- In the same saucepan, add the minced garlic to the reserved 2 tablespoons of burnt butter.
- Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not burnt.
- Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Add the sautéed garlic and burnt butter, 3/4 cup milk, and the 2 tsp lemon juice.
- Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the chopped scallions and arugula until evenly distributed.
- Keep the colcannon warm on low heat, stirring occasionally.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the salmon fillets, skin-side down first, for about 4-5 minutes.
- Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve immediately, optionally garnishing with additional chopped scallions or a wedge of lemon.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture.
- To ensure your potatoes are creamy and smooth, mash them thoroughly and consider using a potato ricer.
- When making the burnt butter, watch it carefully to avoid burning. It should be a golden-brown color with a nutty aroma.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, mince the garlic cloves finely or add more according to your taste.
- Feel free to substitute arugula with other greens such as spinach or kale if you prefer.
By following this recipe, you'll be able to create a delicious meal that's sure to impress. The flaky salmon pairs beautifully with the creamy, flavorful colcannon, making for a balanced and satisfying dish. Enjoy your culinary creation!
