This Salmon Dish is easy and delicious, it takes no more than 30 minutes, feel free to follow along and comment down below how yours taste! D'Andra's Easy Salmon Recipe 1 10-12 ounce wild-caught salmon filet (I am using sockeye tonight) Olive Oil Spray 3TBLSP of Butter 3TBLSP of Olive Oil 2 finely chopped large Shallots 2 finely chopped Serrano Chiles 1/2 package of thin Chives (normally they are about 0.75 ounces in a package in the produce section) 1-2 TBLSP of Dill 2 Campari tomatoes chopped or small to medium size tomatoes like this type 2 TBLSP of Cilantro, plus 4 TBSLP or more to top the dish at the end 1 TBLSP of Soy Sauce (I used Yamaroku Shoyu Pure Artisan Dark Sweet Japanese Premium Gourmet Barrel Aged 4 Year Soy Sauce "Tsuru Bisiho", 18oz) Preheat oven to 400 degrees Farenheit For the salmon seasoning: Paul Prudhomme's Magic Salmon Seasoning Lawry's Seasoned Pepper Celtic Sea Salt (finely ground in mortar and pestle or already fine ground in package) Season Salmon generously with the above 3 seasoning ingredients. Spray olive oil to coat cast iron skillet or whichever pan you would like to use. In another sautee pan or pot, add butter, 2 TBLSP of olive oil, shallots, and serrano chiles and cook on medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until shallots are translucent. Add chives, dill, Campari tomatoes and sautee for another minute or so then add cilantro and soy sauce. Total cooking time should be about 4 minutes for these items. Heat skillet on medium-high heat with an additional 1 TBLSP of olive oil. When the pan is hot, add salmon skin side down to start to get crispy. In about 2-3 minutes flip it and cook another 1 minute before adding the above-sauteed ingredients. Put in the oven in cast iron skillet and cook for 7-8 minutes until medium-rare. Remove from oven and let sit to continue resting. Add additional cilantro for garnish and serve. I like to serve alongside a rice or potato dish and a green salad. Enjoy!

Crust Ingredients: -Graham cracker crumbs 1 ½ cup -¼ cup sugar -¼ tsp cinnamon -6 Tbsp Melted butter Put all of the ingredients into a food processor and pulse until it is blended. Once combined, pour the crust mix into the base of a springform pan (grease the pan with Crisco because butter will burn). Press down ingredients and make sure crust is even (I use the bottom of a glass to press down) and bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes. Cheesecake base -1.5 lbs cream cheese -1 cup sugar -2 tsp vanilla - 3 eggs Start by placing cream cheese in your KitchenAid mixer. Gradually pour in and add sugar. Next, add the vanilla. I ALWAYS double the vanilla in all of my recipes. Incorporate the eggs one at a time in the mixer. Pour into Springform pan and bake at 300 for 45-55 minutes. I actually cooked the cheescake for *60 minutes. Cool for a minimum of two hours. I let the cheescake cool on my island for two hours or until completely room temperature, and then I put it in the refrigerator overnight. Whipped Sour Cream topping -1 cup sour cream -2 tbsp vanilla -¼ cup sugar -⅛ tsp salt *zest from 1-2 lemons Put all of the ingredients into a KitchenAid mixer or other hand-held mixer.
