Recipe: Smart Salmon with Lemon-Herb Veggies
Ingredients:
For the Salmon
- 2 salmon fillets (skin-on)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon chopped dill or parsley
For the Sides (Optional)
- 1 cup asparagus, trimmed
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- Olive oil, salt, pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat via SmartHQ App
Using your SmartHQ app, remotely preheat the Monogram Advantium oven to 400°F with a convection setting.
- Prep Your Salmon
Pat the fillets dry, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, lemon zest, and fresh herbs. Let it marinate while your oven reaches temperature.
- Smart Roast or Speedcook
Place the salmon on a parchment-lined baking tray. Use the SmartHQ app’s built-in seafood setting for the Advantium Oven. Choose Speedcook for fast results or Convection Roast for classic crisp edges. The app will automatically apply the right time and temperature based on your preferences.
- Cook Your Sides on Monogram Induction
While your salmon cooks, use the ZHU36RSTSS Smart Induction Cooktop to sauté asparagus and cherry tomatoes. Its precision temperature control lets you lightly caramelize the veggies while keeping nutrients intact—perfect for a clean plate.
- Serve and Stay on Track
Plate your salmon and vegetables. Optional: Add a side of quinoa, arugula, or lemon vinaigrette. Your fresh, tech-assisted dinner is done.
