SALMON WITH SWEET POTATO PURÉE AND BROCCOLI

Yesterday I prepared this dish and today I'm posting it for you. It's nothing too complicated or time-consuming. In half an hour your dinner is ready! And it's also a nice idea for a romantic dinner.

Pan roasted salmon with sweet potato purée and broccoli


Ingredients

2 salmon fillets

1 big sweet potato
1 (normal) potato - optional
1 knob of butter
100 ml milk (roughly)

1 medium head of broccoli

salt, pepper
olive oil

For the sauce, optional:

75 gr (roughly) natural yogurt 
a pinch of ginger
a pinch of oregano
a pinch of salt
a teaspoon of lemon juice

Instructions

1. Prepare the broccoli: wash the head of broccoli under running water; cut into florets; peel the stem and cut into pieces. Cook in a small amount of water (or steam them) until soft. Let them cool down, then put them in a bowl and season with salt, pepper, olive oil and, to taste, vinegar. 

2. Prepare the purée: peel the potatoes, wash them and cut into pieces. Put in a pot and cover with water; add salt. Cook until soft (10/15 minutes). Drain and pass through a food mill into the pot used for boiling the potatoes. Add butter, stir and gradually pour in the milk. Stir in cream mixture.

3. Cook the salmon: preheat a pan; Place the salmon on the skin side. Cook without moving until the skin in crispy (almost 5 minutes). Turn the salmon on the over side, Cook until the salmon is ''opaque pink''. Do not overcook it!

4. Prepare the sauce: in a cup, pour the yogurt; add ginger, oregano, salt and lemon juice. Mix well.

5. Arrange the salmon on plates, top it with a spoon of sauce and place purée and broccoli on a side.
