The final dish is a vibrant vista of textural contrasts and rich colors. The deep pink-orange hue of the salmon fillet is dramatically outlined with a speckled coat of crushed peanuts. The fillet rests on a lush, whimsically swirl of green broccoli puree, with the verdant color echoing in a scattering of edamame beans. A drizzle of glossy, tangy teriyaki reduction adds a dark swiggle on the plate, while a handful of threads of pickled ginger dances on the side as a vibrant pink garnish.

A little about this dish

What better way to celebrate National Peanut Day than with an iconic American dish! Our main star today is the peanut - not only a bit crunchy, but also subtly sweet and packed with protein. We're going to fuse American cuisine with some Asian influence to create a visually striking dish that is as tasty as it is eye-catching.

Ingredients (for 4)

Unsalted, dry roasted peanuts — 1 cup — finely crushed
Skin-on salmon fillets — 4 pieces
Broccoli — 2 cups — steamed and pureed
Edamame — 1 cup — boiled
Teriyaki sauce — 1/2 cup — reduced to a glaze
Pink pickled ginger — a handful — for garnish
Ground black pepper — to taste
Kosher salt — to taste
Olive oil — 2 tablespoons

Preparation

Step 1 — 🔥🌡️⏳

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2 — 🐟🧂🫒

Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and brush each piece with a bit of olive oil.
Step 3 — 🐟🥜✋

Press the top of each salmon fillet into the crushed peanuts, ensuring a good, even coat.
Step 4 — 🐟🥜🔥

Line a baking tray with parchment paper, place the peanut crusted salmon fillets skin-side down onto the tray, and bake for about 15-18 minutes (until salmon is cooked through and peanuts are golden.)
Step 5 — 🥦🍛🍽️

While the salmon is baking, heat your broccoli puree and prepare your plate. Smooth a generous dollop of broccoli puree on the plate, scatter some edamame, then rest a piece of cooked salmon atop the puree.
Step 6 — 🐟🥣🍱

Drizzle the reduced teriyaki sauce around and over the salmon. Finish with a garnish of pickled ginger.

A final fox tip

This recipe is a fun way to help kids appreciate different textures and flavors. They can assist in crushing the peanuts or plating the dish, allowing for a creative and interactive culinary experience. Feel free to adjust the type of protein - chicken or tofu can be great substitutes for salmon. Enjoy!
