Levantine Seared Salmon Bake

Method

1. Start by prepping your olive oil, lemon, garlic so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the yellow onion in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the seared salmon and let it herb-crusted, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the black pepper and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Add the vegetable stock and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with cracked black pepper right before serving.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
