Instructions

FOR THE CRISPY SKINNED SALMON

Season the salmon with the salt and pepper.
1 1/2 pounds salmon
Heat the ghee in a large all purpose pan. Use medium to medium high heat.
1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, 2 tablespoons ghee
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.
When the salmon is cool enough to handle, carefully remove the skin and set aside for garnish.

FOR THE VEGETABLES:

Reserve 2 tablespoons of the fat in the pan and discard excess.
Add in the shallots. Use medium heat. Sauté 2 to 3 minutes until it is fragrant and begins to look translucent .
1 shallot
Add in the carrots and rosemary sprigs. Mix to coat with the shallots.
5 medium carrots, 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
Add in garlic. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix. Cook 30 to 60 seconds.
5-6 cloves fresh garlic
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
1 bunch broccoli rabe
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.
1 1/2 pint grape tomatoes
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.
