This recipe is a real highlight for anyone who wants to enjoy salmon in a new way: juicy, pan-seared fillets meet crispy vegetable polenta – all brought together in a warm bowl inspired by Mediterranean couscous style. The combination of warmth, freshness, and rich flavors makes this dish a true all-rounder with serious wow factor.
- Heat the vegetable broth, stir in the polenta, and quickly fold in the butter, cream, and tomato paste. Season with salt and transfer the mixture to an ovenproof dish. Bake at 180 °C (350 °F) for about 10 minutes, until the polenta develops a slightly crumbly texture.
- Meanwhile, dice the vegetables into small cubes and set aside.
- For the vinaigrette, mix elderflower syrup, apple vinegar, mustard, and a pinch of salt. Slowly whisk in the pumpkin seed oil until a creamy emulsion forms.
- Now generously season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Sear them skin-side down in a hot pan with a little oil until crispy, then flip and let them finish cooking gently on the flesh side over low heat.
- Final step: Mix the slightly cooled polenta with the prepared vegetables, then gently fold in the vinaigrette and season to taste. Place the seared salmon on top and garnish with fresh herbs. Enjoy while still warm!
This is my tip
Vegetarians can simply leave out the salmon and instead add crispy fried tofu to the polenta salad or sprinkle it with flavorful feta cheese.
