-Artichoke
Hey OP, that’s a delicious looking piece of salmon. what’s the green plant bulb?
Not OP but it’s Artichoke
Thanks! I didn’t know they were that large.
It’s also way more artichoke to food ratio, considering most of that artichoke isn’t even edible.
About 75% of that artichoke was edible, but yes, some of the outer petals weren’t worth eating.
Dip the petals in drawn butter & scrape the “meat” & butter off with your teeth.
It is more artichoke than necessary, so I typically save the heart & petals I didn’t eat to make dip.
I’ll have to give that a try the next time I get my hands on some artichokes for a reasonable price.
How do you cook it, just steamed?
Yep! Steamed for about an hour. I also enjoy it with olive oil, sea salt & desired spice blend.
I live in NC & I’ve had it served here with mayo/lemond/dijon/garlic dip. It’s not bad, but haven’t tried to replicate it.
That’s the artichoke
Take the panko and herbs off that poor salmon and put it in that artichoke like nature intended.
Nature taught me to use artichoke petals like a shovel for drawn butter.
