Directions
For the Salmon
Sear Salmon in hot pan. Turn when browning. Cook approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Depends on thickness and desired cooking temp.
For the Crispy Salmon Skin
Remove skin from your portions and dehydrate for 24 hours. Fry in really hot oil. Remove before it burns.
For the Pea Asparagus Puree
Cook asparagus and peas in stock of choice until tender. Puree with mint and butter. Salt to taste
For the Froth
Thin out some puree in blender. Fail to put enough stabilizer (soy lecithin) in foam. Call it a froth. Genius.
