PEANUT BUTTER-GLAZED SALMON AND GREEN BEANS



Peanut Butter-Glazed Salmon and Green Beans image

This fast and fun weeknight meal reveals an unexpected use for peanut butter, transforming it into a savory five-ingredient sauce. The pantry favorite is combined with tangy lemon juice, fragrant ginger and toasted sesame oil to create a rich, supernutty glaze that pairs well with fatty salmon. Here the salmon is roasted on a rack of green beans, but a bed of broccoli florets would be an excellent alternative. The sweet-salty glaze can be made a day ahead and brought to room temperature before using.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound green beans, trimmed
1 bunch scallions (about 6), halved lengthwise then cut crosswise into thirds
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons neutral oil, such as safflower or canola
Salt and black pepper
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter (either conventional or natural works)
2 tablespoons lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon grated peeled ginger
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
4 (6-ounce) center-cut salmon fillets
1/4 cup chopped unsalted roasted peanuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, combine green beans, scallions, garlic and 2 tablespoons of the neutral oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to evenly coat, then spread in an even layer.
  • Prepare the peanut butter glaze: In a small bowl, combine peanut butter, lemon juice, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil and 1 tablespoon water. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk until smooth.
  • Rub salmon with the remaining 1 tablespoon neutral oil and season with salt. Arrange salmon on top of beans and spoon half of the peanut butter glaze on top of the fish. Roast for 5 minutes, then spoon over the remaining glaze. Roast until salmon is cooked to medium and beans are crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes more, depending on thickness.
  • Divide salmon and beans among serving plates. Top with peanuts and serve with lemon wedges.

GREEN PEAS WITH FRESH PARSLEY AND GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE



Green Peas With Fresh Parsley and Garlic Butter Sauce image

From Bon Appetit May 1998. Meant to be served alongside of rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce.

Provided by COOKGIRl

Categories     Vegetable

Time 7m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup unsalted butter
4 -5 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
1 lb frozen green pea, thawed
1/4 cup vegetable broth, unsalted (homemade is best)
1/3 cup fresh curly-leaf parsley, chopped
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a pan over medium-low heat and saute the garlic until highly fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the green peas and vegetable broth. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the mixture until the peas are tender but not shriveled, about 4 minutes total.
  • Stir in the parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: Use fresh green peas for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen peas, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the peas: Peas should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked peas will be mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use a good quality peanut butter: The peanut butter you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for a natural peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts.
  • Add some spice: A little bit of spice can help to balance out the sweetness of the peanut butter. Try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • Serve immediately: Green peas with peanut butter is best served immediately after it is made. The peas will start to lose their鮮嫩 once they are cooked, so don't let them sit for too long before serving.

Conclusion:

Green peas with peanut butter is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
