step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Roast the salmon:

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Line a sheet pan with foil. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels. Transfer to a cutting board, skin side down; halve each fillet. Drizzle with olive oil and season on both sides with salt and pepper. Transfer to the sheet pan; arrange skin side down. Roast 15 to 17 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through.* Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven.

* An instant-read thermometer should register 145°F.

2 Cook the quinoa:

Meanwhile, using the flat side of your knife, smash the olives to release the pits. Discard the pits, then roughly chop the olives. Roughly chop the capers. Add the quinoa to the pot of boiling water. Cook, uncovered, 16 to 18 minutes, or until tender. Reserving the pot, drain thoroughly, then transfer to a large bowl. Add the chopped olives, chopped capers, and butter; stir until combined and the butter is melted. Refill the pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high.

3 Roast the cauliflower & finish the quinoa:

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce for bulk cooking. Line a separate sheet pan with foil. Cut out and discard the core of the cauliflower; cut into small florets. Transfer to the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 21 to 23 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven. Transfer to the bowl of cooked quinoa; stir to combine.

4 Cook & finish the noodles:

Meanwhile, cut off and discard the stem ends of the green beans; halve crosswise. Add the noodles to the pot of boiling water, stirring gently to separate. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Add the halved green beans. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and the green beans are bright green and slightly softened. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and rinse under cold water 30 seconds to 1 minute to stop the cooking process. Return to the pot; stir in the sautéed aromatics until melted and combined.

5 Cook the shrimp:

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels; remove the tails. Season with salt and pepper. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned shrimp. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until opaque and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate.

6 Make the curry sauce:

To the pan of reserved fond, add the coconut milk (carefully, as the liquid may splatter) and curry paste. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring frequently and scraping up any fond, 3 to 4 minutes, or until combined and thickened. Turn off the heat and stir in the vinegar.

7 Make the Creamy Cilantro Sauce:

Combine the cilantro sauce and crème fraîche.

8 Make the Harissa Yogurt:

Combine the yogurt, harissa paste, and 2 teaspoons of water.

9 Make the Sweet Chili-Sambal Sauce:
