BBQ Salmon Ingredients Two 6 oz Salmon Fillets2 tsp mild chili powder2 tsp smoked paprika1 tsp salt1 tsp crushed black pepper2 tsp granulated garlic4 oz BBQ sauce2 oz of olive oil Salmon procedure: Start by putting oil into a non-stick sauté pan and placing it on medium high heat. While you are waiting for the pan to preheat combine all the spices in a small bowl. Rub spices on to both sides of the salmon. Once the oil starts to ripple it is hot enough. Place the salmon flesh side down in the pan. Cook for approximately 5 minutes. Then flip the salmon over. Place 2 oz of barbecue sauce on each salmon fillet and continue to cook. After 5 minutes flip the salmon and cook another 2 minutes to caramelize the sauce. The salmon is done when it reads an internal temperature of 140. Cauliflower Ingredients One head of cauliflower6 oz of grated parmesan6 oz of cream2 tsp salt Cauliflower procedure: Place a sauce pot with 3 quarts of water on high heat and bring to a boil. Break down cauliflower into florets. Once water comes to a boil add cauliflower and salt. Take cream and place it in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Once cauliflower is fork tender remove it from heat and drain off water. Mash the cauliflower completely then slowly stir in a third of the cream with half of the parm. Then another third of the cream and the rest of the parm. Slowly add just enough of the rest of the cream to get the consistency you are looking for. Chef Kevin Stacy Green Bean Ingredients ½ lb snapped green beans½ tsp of saltOne roasted red bell pepper cut into strips4 cloves of roasted garlic2 oz olive oil Green bean procedure: Place a sauté-pan on medium high heat and heat the oil.
