Brad's harvest king salmon

This is my harvest inspired salmon dish. I tried to focus on the freshest ingredients available locally. The salmon I caught. And the vegetables and dairy are all from small local businesses. This dish includes a pan seared salmon, with a herb parsnip puree. A harvest leek succotash. And topped with a pancetta marscapone cream sauce. Fall is awesome.....

Cooking Instructions
- 1
First, get a large pot of salted water boiling. Peel and chop the parsnips. Add then to the boiling water. Reduce to a simmer and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until tender.

Get fish portioned and remove all bones. Wash and pat dry the meat and skin. Set aside.
- 3
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Shuck the corn and place directly on oven rack. Roast corn until kernels start to turn golden brown. Rotate cobs every 5 minutes or so. Should be done in about 12 to 15 minutes. When done remove and cool enough to handle. When cool cut kernels off of cob with a sharp knife. Set aside.

Heat 1 large frying pan over medium high heat. Preferably one with deep walls for the succotash. Add pancetta, leeks, and asparagus stalks. Leave out the florets for now. Saute until leeks are wilting. Add garlic and Saute one minute longer.

Meanwhile, Heat a sauce pot over medium high heat. Add pancetta. Saute until pancetta renders off and just begins to brown. Add sherry, lemon juice, and vinegar. Deglaze pan and simmer off all liquids.

After adding garlic to succotash, get another large frying pan heating on medium high. Add sherry to the succotash and let simmer until all liquid evaporates.

Add a small amount of oil to salmon pan. Place salmon in skin side down. Add thicker pieces first. Wait a couple minutes and add thinner pieces. Season fish. Sear until skin gets golden brown and a little crispy. You can see the color rising around the edges while cooking.

Brad's seared salmon w/ squash noodles & shallot mushroom sauce Brad's seared salmon w/ squash noodles & shallot mushroom sauce
This turned out amazing. The key is using fresh fish. I use the tail section of the fillets. They are more even rather than a thick shoulder and a thin belly, and Sear way better. The squash noodles can be made with a food processor, a salad machine or several other hand operated gadgets. Some stores will make these as well. wingmaster835 -
Brad's seared salmon w/ gnocchi carbonara Brad's seared salmon w/ gnocchi carbonara
It is spring king salmon season again, and there is nothing like fresh spring king. High oil content and super firm meat. I personally think this is the best salmon to pan sear. I went with Italian flavors this time. I also served this dish with roasted asparagus and a sundried tomato, feta, and lemon antipasto. I didn't have any fresh basil so I used dried. I recommend using fresh. wingmaster835
