Directions

Make the Salmon Glue:
Blend all of the salmon glue ingredients together, until smooth.

For the Salmon breading:
Place 2 cups shredded potatoes into a shallow pan.

Using a rubber spatula spread 1/8 cup of salmon glue evenly onto one side of a 6 ounces salmon filet.

Place the coated side of the salmon filet into the shredded potatoes. Repeat the process for the opposite side. Ensure that salmon is evenly coated in shredded potatoes.

For the Lemon butter sauce:
In a saute pan add white wine, lemon juice, cream, garlic, turmeric, salt and pepper. Heat on high heat and reduce by 1/2 its original volume. Remove from heat and swirl in diced butter.

Plating procedure:
Place the potato crusted salmon onto griddle over medium high heat. Allow to cook on one side until potatoes are golden brown. Flip salmon and complete cooking and browning of salmon. Approximately 3 1/2 to 4 minutes for each side.

Place 2 ounces of the garlic mashed potatoes onto the center of a dinner plate, ladle sauce around the mashed potatoes, and place vegetables atop the mashed potatoes.

Place browned salmon atop the vegetables. Garnish with julienned green onions.
