Bistro-Style Salmon Poêlé and Avocado Salad with Homemade Dressing 🇫🇷

Bonjour, this is Nonno.

First, a word of thanks♪
Hijiki-san, a fellow dieter on Note, made some very delicious-looking mountain jellyfish kimchi. It was well-received as being addictively tasty. Thank you, Hijiki-san 😊

Takashi-san, another fellow dieter on Note, made Goya Chanpon. It was a very high-quality Goya Chanpon and looked absolutely delicious. Thank you, Takashi-san 😊

Now then, this time I've upgraded my usual 'grilled salmon' to be a bit more stylish, French bistro-style 😊

Even though it's bistro-style, it's actually much easier than it looks! By utilizing store-bought sauces and pre-made items, both the cooking process and ingredients are minimal. This is a menu I can confidently recommend even to cooking beginners.

The star of this dish is, without a doubt, the ensemble of 'sounds'! The crunch of the enoki mushrooms, the crispiness of the salmon skin, and the crunchiness of the oatmeal. Please enjoy the exquisite harmony that these three textures play in your mouth with all five senses.

Avocado Salad with Homemade Dressing

Ingredients (for 2 servings)
1/2 avocado, diced *sprinkle with a little lemon juice
3-4 small broccoli florets
2 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 boiled egg, cut into large cubes
Paprika, etc., to taste

Japanese-style dressing
2/3 tbsp mayonnaise
2/3 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tbsp grated onion
1/3 tsp grated garlic
1/3 tsp Lakanto

Instructions
1.Mix the dressing ingredients together.

2. Combine the dressing with the ingredients, mix gently, and place in the refrigerator. Top with the boiled egg when plating.

Bistro-Style Salmon Poêlé

For the basil sauce this time, I used this 'edible olive oil'.

Ingredients (for 1 serving)
1 salmon fillet
Basil sauce (store-bought is fine), as needed
Used homemade edible olive oil

Enoki mushrooms, bite-sized? 2-3 bunches
A pinch of salt
A little potato starch
Oatmeal, fine-cut, 1 teaspoon
A pinch of herb salt or dried basil

Instructions
1.Cook the salmon skin-side down in a small amount of olive oil for 7-8 minutes until crispy. Before it finishes cooking, arrange the enoki mushrooms alongside it.

2. Remove the salmon, sprinkle the enoki with a little salt and potato starch, and press down with a spatula to release moisture and make them crispy.

3. Once the enoki are removed, add the oatmeal to the pan and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and crunchy. Adding a pinch of dried basil or similar herbs will enhance the aroma.

4. Plating
Spread the sauce near the center of the plate, layer the enoki, salmon, oatmeal, and pea sprouts (optional), add your side dishes, and it's ready.

Since we're at it, let's give
this dish a cool,
bistro-style name.

The potage is just my usual dal,
the bitter melon was just massaged,
and the orange liqueur
doesn't actually smell like anything, haha.

But when the name sounds a bit cool,
it makes it feel special, doesn't it?

Thank you for waiting.

Here you go... ((꜆˙꒳˙)꜆𓌉◯𓇋

Authentic poêlé is
cooked with plenty of oil to make the skin crispy. This time, I used a small amount of oil for a diet-friendly version.

I named the Enoki Mushroom Croque Sauté
after the 'croque' (to crunch or bite) in dishes like Croque Monsieur. It sounds pretty cool, right?

( *´︶`*) Hehe

Salade Folle literally
means 'crazy salad,' referring to a salad that breaks the mold of standard combinations, where the chef freely packs in delicious ingredients. In Japan, it's similar to what we call a 'chef's whim salad.'


The Japonaise dressing is
a secret recipe from the restaurant where I worked part-time in high school. It actually has a few more ingredients, but this simplified version is also delicious.

The appeal and health benefits of this dish

This menu is not only delicious, but it is also packed with nutrients that are great for dieting and beauty.

Anti-aging and skin-beautifying effects
The "astaxanthin" found in the main salmon and the "vitamin E" in the avocado both have powerful antioxidant properties. This is the ultimate combination to prevent cellular oxidation and support youthful skin and a healthy body.

A strong ally for gut health and dieting
Enoki mushrooms and oatmeal are rich in dietary fiber. They suppress spikes in blood sugar levels and keep you feeling full longer, so you can enjoy a satisfying meal without any guilt, even while dieting.

Healthy fats for smooth blood flow
The unsaturated fatty acids found in avocados and olive oil are expected to help reduce bad cholesterol and improve blood circulation.

Fatigue recovery and immune system boost
The abundant vitamin C in broccoli and lemons helps soothe daily fatigue and boosts your immune system. While it looks like a fancy bistro-style dish, it is essentially an "edible spa treatment" that thoroughly conditions your body.
