Instructions

  • Pat salmon fillets completely dry and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a stainless steel or cast iron pan over medium-high heat and add neutral oil.
  • Place salmon skin-side down and press gently for 10 seconds to prevent curling. Cook 4–5 minutes without moving until skin is crisp.
  • Flip salmon and cook an additional 1–2 minutes until just cooked through. Remove and let rest.
  • In a small saucepan, combine shallot, white wine, and lemon juice. Simmer until reduced by half.
  • Add heavy cream and simmer briefly, then reduce heat to low.
  • Whisk in cold butter one cube at a time until emulsified. Do not allow the sauce to boil. Finish with lemon zest and salt to taste.
  • Toss asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Sear in a hot pan or roast at 425°F for 8–10 minutes until lightly charred.
  • To serve, spoon beurre blanc onto the plate, place salmon skin-side up, and add charred asparagus alongside.
