Monday, its a love/hate kinda day. Today was more love than ever :] It has been awhile since I made salmon and today I made my favorite dish. Garlic stuffed salmon with roasted asparagus and a side of hollandaise sauce. YUM.
Now lets begin! First I washed the salmon steak and patted it dry. Then I cut slits into the salmon and added slices of garlic. I added a dash of sea salt and pepper and drizzled some extra virgin olive oil all over the salmon. I then turned the oven on to broil and cooked the salmon steak for about 5-7 minutes. This method cooks the salmon all the way through so there is no need to flip the salmon over.
As the salmon cooked, I washed some asparagus and snapped off the ends. On a cookie sheet, lined with foil for easy clean up, I added the asparagus which was seasoned with sea salt and black pepper. Covered with extra virgin olive oil, I placed the asparagus in the oven and removed the cooked salmon.
The picture above is the asparagus cooking in the oven on broil. Delicious :] Now the hollandaise sauce I made from a packet and YES I will try making it from scratch another time, promise. So here is another picture of my dinner!
I hope you guys enjoyed this post and thank you Mom for the inspiration for my recipe! <3
Beautiful meal!
