Servings: 1

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

Salmon

• 1 salmon fillet, skin-on (approx. 6 oz) (cook time will vary depending on size of salmon, or wether its straight out the fridge or room temp) (aim for room temp before cooking)

• Salt (optional)

• Freshly ground black pepper

• 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Edamame-Wasabi Purée

• ½ cup shelled edamame

• 1–2 Tbsp dashi

• 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

• ¼–½ tsp wasabi paste (adjust to taste)

• Salt to taste

• Optional: a small squeeze of lemon or ACV

Garnish

• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

• 2 shiso leaves, chiffonade

• Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Make the Purée:

   
   

   Combine edamame, dashi, olive oil, wasabi paste, and a pinch of salt in a small blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, adding more dashi if needed for a creamy texture. Adjust seasoning with lemon or vinegar if desired.

2. Toast the Garlic:

   
   

   In a small skillet over medium-low heat, add a drizzle of oil and the chopped garlic. Sauté until golden brown and crisp. Remove and drain on a paper towel.

3. Cook the Salmon:

   
   

   Pat the salmon dry. Season lightly with salt (if using) and pepper. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and press gently to ensure full contact with the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden. Flip and cook another 4-5 minutes, or until just cooked through. (aim for internal temp. 125) Take it off heat, and let it rest for 1-2 minutes. (medium rare)

4. Plate the Dish:

   
   

   Spoon the edamame-wasabi purée onto a plate. Set the salmon on top, skin-side up. Sprinkle with toasted garlic, shiso, and a touch of fresh ground pepper.

Why It Works

The crispy salmon provides rich flavor and texture, while the edamame-wasabi purée delivers creaminess with a subtle kick. The fresh shiso lifts the dish with herbal brightness, and the toasted garlic adds a savory crunch—each component bringing balance and depth.
