Chef Michael Stebner prepared this savory, succulent salmon in his cooking class at True Food Kitchen.
Seeing is believing, and watching Chef Michael Stebner put this dish together so quickly validates his claim that the recipe is easy to make. This dish is an ideal example of good fats at his class on Good Fats vs. Bad Fats, also held at True Food Kitchen. Salmon is tops in flavor and omega 3s and expeller press canola oil is monounsaturated, the healthiest category. The “wok’d” vegetables still had a satisfying crunch, and the tangy sauce added brightness to the dish. Stebner spoke about yuzu*, a citrus fruit often difficult to find. “Yuzu is absolutely a different flavor than lemon. It’s a flavor I love. It is important to use a high grade because the low grade has a chemical or soapy taste to it. So if you can’t get fresh yuzu, use the highest grade available.”
