- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp water
- 900 g Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1½ tsp salt (for boiling potatoes)
- 4 tbsp butter
- 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
- ¾ cup (180 ml) warm milk
- ¾ tsp salt (for mashed potatoes)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for vegetables)
- ½ tsp salt (for vegetables)
- ¼ tsp black pepper (for vegetables)
Instructions
- Place cubed Yukon Gold potatoes in a pot, cover with cold water, and add 1½ tsp salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 15–18 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and return to the pot.
- In a small pan, melt 4 tbsp butter and sauté 3 cloves of minced garlic for 1 minute. Add garlic butter, warm milk, ¾ tsp salt, and ½ tsp pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Season salmon with salt and pepper and cook skin-side down for 4–5 minutes until golden. Flip and cook another 3 minutes.
- Add 1 clove minced garlic to the pan, sauté 30 seconds. Add honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and water. Simmer 2–3 minutes, spooning sauce over salmon until thickened. Remove from heat.
- In another pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil. Add broccoli, carrots, and green beans. Season with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Serve salmon with mashed potatoes and vegetables, spooning extra sauce over the salmon.
Notes
- Add chili flakes to the salmon glaze for spice.
- Use olive oil instead of butter in potatoes for a lighter option.
- Swap in seasonal vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers.
- Salmon can be baked instead of pan-seared.
- For richer mashed potatoes, add a splash of cream.
