Ingredients

  • 1 Salmon fillet
  • 1 Hard-boiled egg
  • 2 tbsp Butter

Cooking Steps

  1. Pat the salmon fillet dry and season with a little salt.

  2. Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.

  3. Grill the salmon skin-side down for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for a further 3-4 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork.

  4. Meanwhile, melt the butter gently in a small pan over low heat.

  5. Peel and finely chop or mash the hard-boiled egg, then stir it into the warm melted butter.

  6. Spoon the egg butter generously over the grilled salmon and serve immediately.

Plant & Growing Tips

Dill

  • Not in the recipe, but grow it to serve alongside salmon, as its fresh, anisy flavor pairs wonderfully.
  • Sow seeds directly into well-drained soil in a sunny spot after the last frost, as dill dislikes transplanting.
  • Plant in succession every few weeks for a continuous supply of fresh leaves throughout the growing season.

Arugula

  • Not in the recipe, but grow it for a peppery side salad that will cut through the richness of the salmon and egg butter.
  • Plant in full sun to partial shade during cooler weather of spring and fall, as heat can cause it to bolt and become bitter.
  • Ensure consistent moisture for tender leaves and sow seeds every 2-3 weeks for a continuous harvest.

Natural Pest Control

  • Spray dill plants with a strong stream of water to dislodge aphids.
  • Use floating row covers over arugula to protect young plants from flea beetles.
  • Hand-pick any visible caterpillars or slugs from dill and arugula leaves.

Harvest

Dill

  • Snip outer leaves and stems as needed for fresh use, or allow the plant to flower and go to seed for dill seeds.

Arugula

  • Harvest outer leaves when young and tender for the best flavor, or cut the entire plant at the base for a single harvest.
