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.

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 - none
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 - none
Kosher salt - to taste - none
Olive oil - 2 tablespoons - none

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.
