Ingredients

FOR THE CRISPY SKINNED SALMON

FOR THE VEGETABLES:

  • 1 shallot peeled and sliced
  • 5 medium carrots I use organic. Peeled and sliced diagonally about 1/8 inch thick.
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 5-6 cloves fresh garlic peeled, smashed and can roughly chop.
  • 1 bunch broccoli rabe Rinsed thoroughly and trim off the very hard ends
  • 1 1/2 pint grape tomatoes halved. Can use cherry tomatoes or a mixture of grape and cherry.
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Instructions

FOR THE CRISPY SKINNED SALMON

  1. Season the salmon with the salt and pepper.

  2. Heat the ghee in a large all purpose pan. Use medium to medium high heat.

  3. When the oil begins to shimmer, carefully add the salmon skin-side down. Cook until the skin releases easily using a spatula. Takes about 3 to 5 minutes depending on the heat. Remove the salmon and set aside. It will be returned to the pan later. Turn off the stove.

    Note: Adjust the heat as needed if the pan begins to smoke.

  4. When the salmon is cool enough to handle, carefully remove the skin and set aside for garnish.

FOR THE VEGETABLES:

  1. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the fat in the pan and discard excess.

  2. Add in the shallots. Use medium heat. Sauté 2 to 3 minutes until it is fragrant and begins to look translucent .

  3. Add in the carrots and rosemary sprigs. Mix to coat with the shallots.

  4. Add in garlic. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix. Cook 30 to 60 seconds.

  5. Add in the broccoli rabe with any water drippings in the bowl. Season with some salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cover the pan and allow the broccoli rabe to cook until it begins to wilt. Takes about 1 to 2 minutes

  6. Add in the tomatoes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix. Cover pan and allow tomatoes to wilt and broccoli rabe is tender. Takes about 2 to 3 minutes. The carrots will be fork tender and the broccoli rabe will be bright green.

  7. Carefully return the salmon to the pan. Spoon some of the juices over the fish. Cover and allow to cook 2 to 3 minutes until cooked to your desired doneness.

    Note 1: Do not return the crispy skin to the pan – use them as garnish to retain the crispy texture.

    Note 2: I cook the salmon for 2 minutes to achieve medium doneness.
