Anyway, this week, I said no more! I'm trying out a new recipe tonight, I'm not sure how it'll come out, but I can only hope that we'll enjoy it.
Here's what you'll need:
6 pieces Salmon fillets
2 large leeks, washed and chopped
1 large onion, sliced
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
6 to 8 small potatoes, peeled and sliced
2 cups saffron infused water
1/4 tsp thyme or oregano (2 very different flavors, oregano give a Greek flare the thyme something completely different)
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp kosher honey
2 tbsps olive oil
salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 400F on Roast, then marinate the salmon in the honey, a touch of Dijon and a splash of olive oil, salt and pepper and when the oven is hot, place them on a baking sheet and in the oven for about 20 minutes, then at 325F for another 5 to 8 minutes, till golden, then set aside.
In a large skillet, add the olive oil, then toss in the onions and sweat them for 5 minutes on medium heat, then add in the leaks and sweat them for 5 to 7 minutes, after that toss in the tomatoes and saute them till they burst and finally add in the potatoes. Stir everything together, making sure nothing sticks to the bottom, then add 1 cup of the saffron water, lemon juice, Dijon, spices, salt and pepper. Bring everything to a boil, cover, then reduce the heat, the sauce should reduce by half, taste to make sure it's well seasoned, then add in some more saffron water, about 1/2 cup, keep the rest for later.
Lower the heat to a minimum, uncover and let everything cook down for about 20 minutes. You still want a little sauce at the bottom of your pan.
Now in a small saucepan, add the remaining saffron water, 1/2 tsp of honey, some salt and pepper and bring to a boil, then let it reduce by half, you'll be able to use it as a sort of glaze.
To assemble, lay a couple of large spoons of the leak and potato mixture, lay a piece of salmon on top and drizzle the glaze over top.
Enjoy!
