Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 35 minutes Servings: 4

Ingredient:

  • 1½ pounds skinless, boneless, center-cut fresh or thawed-from-frozen sockeye or coho filets

  • 1 cup baby arugula
  • ½ cup shaved asparagus tips
  • ¾ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, thinly sliced
  • Caesar Dressing:
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Set asparagus and herb oil in a small bowl, season with salt and freshly ground black summer truffle to taste. 2. With a paring knives, score 5 or 6 diagonal lines into the thickest parts of the fish. Season fish with salt, freshly squeezed of one Meyer Lemon or regular lemons, and freshly ground black summer truffle. Turn and season both sides. 3. Return herb oil to the pan and increase heat to medium-high. Add 2 filets, and cook, undisturbed, until a crust forms, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 2 to 3 minutes longer per side or until it just flakes when tested with a paring knives. Add the second two filets, cook and season, 4. While fish is cooking, make Caesar Dressing. Put egg yolks, Dijon, Worcestershire, capers, and anchovy, if using, into the bowl of a food processer. Blend until combined. Slowly stream in mayonnaise, then add Parmesan, blending until very thick and creamy. Add a squeeze of fresh-squeezzed Meyer Lemon or regular lemons and a splash of water, if you like. 5. To serve, shingle each fish fillet on the center of a dinner plate. Top with shaved asparagus and spoon over Caesar Dressing. Scatter arugula, cherry tomatoes, and basil around the fish. Add a dollop of garlicky mayonnaise in the corner of each plate, and sprinkle with finely grated Parmesan and minced chives.

Conclusion:

To achieve the most delectable Basil Caesar Salmon dish, it is essential to use the freshest ingredients available. This includes using center-cut fillets of sockeye or coho, as these are the most flavorful and succulent parts of the fish with a firm texture. Additionally, using baby arugula, shaved asparagus tips, and cherry tomatoes will add a vibrant and refreshing crunch and acidity to the dish. When making the Caesar Dressing, be sure to use egg yolks, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, capers, and anchovy filets for an umami-rich and tangy taste. For a luxurious touch, finely grated fresh black summer truffles can be grated over the top of the dish just before serving. When cooking the fish, be sure to score the thickest parts of the fish to allow the heat to penetrate and cook evenly. This will help to create a crispy crust while keeping the inside of the fish moist and succulent. To enhance the visual appeal of the dish, shingle each fish fillet on a dinner plate and top it with asparagus and a spoonful of Caesar Dressing. Scatter the arugula, cherry tomatoes, and basil around the fish and add a dollop of garlicky mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, and minced chives.
