Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large celeriac (celery root)
- 2 medium-sized potatoes
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Peel the celeriac and potatoes, then chop them into small chunks for easier cooking.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the celeriac and potatoes, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
While the vegetables are cooking, season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the pan.
Cook the salmon for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest.
Once the celeriac and potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, and Dijon mustard.
Mash the mixture with a potato masher or fork until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the celeriac mash and place a salmon fillet on top. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with a lemon wedge on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
