Salmon seasoned (with anything you like), sear each side about 1 minute on a smoking hot cast iron in olive oil and finish in the oven at 425* for about 5 mins.
***We do this with chicken and steak and they both turn out amazing! Finish chicken in the oven for 10 mins. Steak depends on the cut and thickness but I'd say 3 to 7 minutes for medium rare for 3/4"-1 1/2" thickness respectively. Remember, you are only searing the outsides on the stovetop, not cooking. So, don't over do it up top. Let the oven take care of the cooking to avoid drying out.
Roared frozen cauliflower: Bake in 425* oven for about 20 mins. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper and bake an additional 20 mins. Garnish with grated Parmesan.
Amazing asparagus: steam, covered, directly in 1/2" water in a large, shallow pot with 1/2 tsp salt for 7 mins. Drizzle with 1 Tbs butter, salt and pepper.
Simple salad: I have to have one with every meal. Romaine, tomatoes, cucumbers and purple onion drizzled with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. A small shake of Parmesan for texture.
Sorry I need better lighting. This was a beautiful meal but kind of washed out with the dull lighting. Next time...
There is a seared salmon at a restaurant in Austin that I CRAVE! This might be how they do it. I couldn't figure it out. Thanks. Totally doing this tonight.
