Steps:
- Make the creamy shallot potato puree: Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
- Add the garlic and another tablespoon of butter and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the shallots are browned.
- Add the milk, white pepper, and salt and stir to incorporate.
- Transfer the shallot mixture to a food processor and process until smooth.
- Mash potatoes in a large bowl. Add the shallot puree and continue to mash until fully incorporated. Set aside.

- Push the mushrooms to one side of the pan and add a bit more oil. Add the asparagus and season everything with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Make the salmon: On a cutting board, cut 4 slits in the salmon skin, roughly ¼-inch (6 mm) apart and ½-inch (12 mm) into the salmon flesh. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme leaves.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add the salmon, skin-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until a lighter pink color has reached ⅓-½ of the way up the side of the salmon.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon you can find. Look for fish that is bright pink or orange in color, with firm flesh and no fishy odor.
- Cook the salmon to your desired doneness. Salmon can be cooked rare, medium, or well-done. The best way to check for doneness is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the fork comes out clean, the salmon is done.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. If you're not sure how long to cook the salmon, err on the side of caution and cook it for a shorter amount of time.
- Season the salmon simply. Salmon has a delicate flavor, so you don't need to overdo it with seasonings. A simple sprinkle of salt, pepper, and lemon juice is all you need.
- Serve the salmon with your favorite sides. Salmon goes well with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
Salmon is a delicious and versatile fish that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you're grilling, baking, or pan-frying salmon, there are a few things you can do to ensure that your fish turns out perfect every time. By following these tips, you can create a gourmet salmon dinner that will impress your friends and family.
