Lemon Butter Salmon Dinner
6
The family’s version
- Pan-seared salmon
- Steamed broccoli
- Rice pilaf
The Level 6 version
- 140 g salmon fillet
- 100 g broccoli florets, steamed very soft
- 120 g well-cooked mashed-texture rice or soft polenta
- 2 tbsp lemon butter sauce
Convert it
- Poach or bake the salmon gently until it flakes: avoid searing, which creates a tough crust.
- Steam broccoli past “crisp-tender” to genuinely soft; stems should squash under a fork.
- Swap rice pilaf for soft polenta or well-moistened mashed potato. Plain rice scatters and is hard to control.
- Cut everything to 1.5 cm pieces (about the width of an adult thumbnail).
- Dress generously with lemon butter so every bite is moist. Fork-pressure test a piece of each component.
EquipmentSteamer, fork for testing
SLP tipAt Level 6 the knife test is your guide: if it needs a knife, it isn't tender enough yet.
Before serving: run the fork pressure test on the finished plate. Recipes guide you to a texture. Only the test confirms it.
