I built this around TJ’s beets. I've iterated the Salmon half of the recipe several times before settling on this spice rub that complements the spices and pastes used with the veggies. On the veggies side, one of the greatest points of contention was the Thyme, I felt it necessary to cut through the Miso and Ginger Garlic Pastes. The main challenge is the timing, it doesn't need to be accurate to the second, but at least to the quarter minute or so, else the veggies risk getting soggy and the salmon chewy.

Ingredients

Veggies

  • 8 oz Beets, Pre-Cooked, Quartered (I do 2x2x3 cuts). I used TJ's Steamed & Peeled Baby Beets.
  • 0.5 whole Orange Bell Pepper, Diced into short strips. Or you can use Red Bell or Yellow Bell, but not Green.
  • 0.5 whole Fresno Chiles, Finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Ginger Garlic Paste
  • 1.5 tsp White Miso Paste
  • 0.5 tsp Thyme, Dried, 0.25-0.5 tsp. You can eyeball it.
  • 0.5 tsp Smoked Paprika, Or regular Paprika. You can eyeball it.
  • 0.25 tsp Red Pepper Flakes, Lean on the side of adding more than less, to your heat tolerance of course.

Salmon

Toppings

  • 2 tsp Lemon Juice, 0.25 of a fresh Lemon, or two good squirts from a lemon juice bottle. 1 tsp (half) on the veggies and 1 tsp (half) on the salmon
  • 1 bunch Chives, Optional. Freshly chopped is better. I used about a Tbsp or two. Alternatively, you can use Parsley, or Dill (I'm not a Dill person but it works in this case).
  • 2 Tbsp Pine Nuts

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. Heat oil in an iron skillet (or preferred pan) on High. Sizzle the Thyme, Red Pepper Flakes, Fresno, and Ginger-Garlic Paste for 45 seconds to bloom.
  2. Add the Beets and Red Bell Peppers, and the White Miso and Smoked Paprika.. Stir-fry for 7–8 minutes, stirring every minute to prevent sticking while allowing the veggies to roast.
  3. In parallel, pat the salmon bone-dry. Mix the Ghee, Cumin Powder, Guajillo Chile Powder, Black Pepper, and Nutmeg Powder, microwaving slightly if needed, to create the salmon rub. Slather all sides of the salmon with the spiced Ghee Rub.
  4. For the last 60 sections of the veggies, add the Pine Nuts and the half of the Lemon Juice into the pan. Then, remove the veggies (and the Pine Nuts / everything in the pan) and set them aside.
  5. Keep the residual thyme-miso oil in the pan (add a tiny splash of fresh oil if the pan looks bone-dry). Place the salmon in the center. Lid ON for 2 minutes on Medium to warm the core.
  6. Flip the salmon. Immediately squeeze the half of the Lemon Juice over the top. Baste for 60 seconds with the lid OFF on High.
  7. Turn off the stove when the center is warm pink. Take the salmon off the pan to join the veggies, garnish with Chives, and serve.
