Oh, Whole Foods! Every time I go to visit you I get sucked in by the aroma of some fabulous dish that has been prepared! While getting last minute groceries for Maya's birthday lunch I passed by some King Salmon with fresh peaches. Even better, it's $10 off per pound right now to celebrate Father's Day! Salmon just happens to be my daughter's favorite thing in the world. One more indulgence for my special girl... I'm not sure how it is prepared at Whole Foods, but here is how I prepared it tonight:
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb King Salmon
3 very ripe peaches
1 Tbs plus 1 Tbs plus 1 Tbs butter (or butter substitute)
Juice of one lemon
1 Tbs honey (optional)
1 tsp salt
Fresh ground pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a large skillet heat 1 Tbs of the butter until it is melted over medium heat.
3. Lay the salmon in the skillet and cook for three minutes on each side.
4. Place the salmon in a baking pan and squeeze the lemon juice over the salmon.
5. Sprinkle the salt and freshly ground pepper over the salmon.
6. Place bits of the 1 Tbs of butter all over the top of the salmon.
7. Cook for 5 - 10 minutes (depending on how thick your fillet is and how "done" you prefer your salmon).
8. In the meantime melt the last Tablespoon of butter in the skillet and saute the peaches with the honey for 3 - 5 minutes.
9. Remove the salmon when done and place the sauteed peaches on top. You can also serve with fresh uncooked peaches.
