As spring arrives across Colorado—from sun-drenched afternoons in Denver to the thawing trails of Aspen—our appetites shift with the seasons.
Winter's stews and roasts give way to fresh, vibrant dishes that reflect the lighter mood of longer days. One dish that perfectly captures this transition is pan-seared salmon with citrus beurre blanc—crisp skin, tender flaky fish, and a silky butter sauce kissed with spring citrus.
Elegant yet unfussy, this recipe is a perfect way to showcase the cooking precision of the Fisher & Paykel RDV3-485GD-N 48" Dual Fuel Range, available now at Specialty Appliance.

A light, refined spring recipe for Colorado kitchens that perfectly showcases the precision of dual fuel cooking.
Ingredients:
- 1 salmon fillet (6 oz, skin-on)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp unsalted butter (optional, for basting)
- 1 tbsp finely minced shallot
- 2 tbsp dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc works well)

Instructions (Using the Fisher & Paykel Range):
- Sear the Salmon
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat on the Fisher & Paykel's gas burner. Add olive oil. Pat the salmon dry, season both sides with salt and pepper, and place skin-side down in the hot pan. Sear for 4–5 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula to prevent curling. Flip and cook for 1–2 minutes more, basting with butter if using.
- Make the Citrus Beurre Blanc
- In a small saucepan over low heat, add shallot, white wine, lemon juice, and orange juice
- Simmer until reduced by half
- Remove from heat and slowly whisk in cold butter, one cube at a time, until the sauce is creamy and emulsified
- Season with a pinch of salt
- Plate and Garnish
- Spoon the citrus beurre blanc over the salmon
- Garnish with lemon zest and fresh herbs
- Serve with roasted spring vegetables, herbed couscous, or a fresh arugula salad
