Have you ever wished for something to happen and then it does?!! Not me, I just execute my dreams into submission on the regular! Case in point, I felt like making something with pine nuts that was going to make it rain on my taste buds. I usually look very confused in the market because I am always so conflicted about proteins. Sometimes I over think my selections of proteins, but today it worked out in my favor and I got some wild ass salmon. Make note salmon may be quite the delicacy in the future. The next time I make a dish similar to this, I definitely want to use an immersion circulator and  that would take it over the top! I went ahead and pan seared this salmon. I kind of have this technique I use, where right at the end of cooking salmon, I cover it for about for 2-3 mins with the heat off. It works for me and produces a sexy medium rare salmon, just like I thought it should! Anyhow, I also threw together a brown rice risotto like dish. The only reason why I did the latter is I had some left over brown, from a previous endeavor. I am not a fan of wasting things at all. As I finishing note, I also had the luxury of having some Brown Dog Chardonnay. Seek it out, its delicious and paired perfectly for a meal of this nature.

Directions

Salmon

  • Dash of Salt
  • Dill(a sprinkle til it looks pretty!)
  • Dash of pepper
  • 1 tablespoon of EVOO
  • 1 tablespoon of pan roasted pine nuts

Cooking this salmon was fairly easy and quick. I pan seared this salmon skin down on medium heat. I enjoy salmon, medium-rare(more on the side of rare) and that means the cook time was about 8-10 mins. That time may vary based where your at elevation wise and etc, so its best to just keep a vigilant eye on the salmon. At about minute 7, I cut off the heat and covered the pan. In midst of all this, I had the pine nuts roasting alongside the salmon. So that was essentially it, but if you need any assistance, hit up the comment section!!

Also if you want to know the brown rice risotto, gotta hit up the comments!
