Cooking Tips

• Make sure to pat the salmon fillets dry before seasoning them. This will help them sear evenly.
• For extra flavor, you can marinate the salmon in a mixture of lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for 30 minutes before cooking.
• If you don't have purple potatoes, you can use regular potatoes for the puree.
• To make the pureed potatoes even creamier, you can add a splash of heavy cream or sour cream.
• Feel free to add some lemon zest or a squeeze of lemon juice to the pureed potatoes for a citrusy twist.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• The purple pureed potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.
• The French green beans are best served fresh, but you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
