Ingredients

Four 6 ounce portions of sockeye salmon filets, skin on and pin bones removed
1 granny smith apple and 1 red delicious apple, cored and cut in 8 wedges
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
3 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/2 cup fish or chicken stock

Salad

3 cups green cabbage shaved thin
1/3 cup shallots shaved into rings
1/4 flat leaf parsley, leaves picked
2 cups red delicious apple, shaved
2 cups granny smith apple, shaved

Vinaigrette

5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tablespoon whole grain mustard
1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard
1.5 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
flake salt to taste
black pepper ground coarse to taste

Directions

Soak the shallots

Soak the shallots in ice water while preparing the apples & cabbage. When ready to build the salad remove any excess water from the shallots in a small salad spinner or in a small strainer.

Score salmon

With a sharp knife, make 2 slices in the skin that just go through the skin. This will help the skin get crispy and prevents the fish from curling when it cooks.

Sauté salmon

Place a sauté pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Place the Salmon filets in the hot pan skin side down and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.

Season Salmon

Season the salmon filets with salt and pepper on both sides.

Caramelize apples and glaze

In a separate pan over medium-high heat, add the butter and the apple wedges and quickly caramelize each side, then add the whole grain mustard, and deglaze with cider vinegar and the stock to make the sauce.

Flip salmon

Flip the salmon, and cook for 4 minutes to a nice medium, then have the warm dinner plates ready.

Prep salad

Dress the salad with the vinaigrette and mix thoroughly.

Plate

Place the salmon on the plates evenly distribute the salad then sauce the fish while adding two cooked apples per dish.
