Pan-Roasted King Salmon with White Truffle Cream
Farmers Market Wild Arugula, Heirloom Baby Cherry Tomatoes, Avocado
Pine Nuts, French Lentils, Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette
Inspired by a trip to the Farmers Market, fresh king salmon was pan-roasted and served over organic French lentils seasoned with just a kiss of my Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette along with wild arugula, irresistible baby cherry tomatoes, lightly toasted pine nuts, and avocado.
The sauce is made with La Tartufata blended with creme fraiche which added a velvety nuance to the dish. A preserved truffle product from Gourmet Attitude, La Tartufata is an earthy intense white truffle cream. This dinner was a delightful marriage of earth, garden, and sea. It’s the third in a series of three meals, each featuring one of the preserved truffle goodies in the “Trio Boutique.” We especially liked dipping the little heirloom tomatoes in the truffle cream sauce…
Trio Boutique
The folks at Gourmet Attitude suggest serving La Tartufata on rice, tagliatelle, gnocchi, meat and egg based dishes. At little goes a long way, use one teaspoon per person, blending with cooking water, cream and butter.

Wow-the seafood-lover in me is jealous! Where oh where did you find fresh King salmon in March?
I think I’d use that truffle cream on just about everything. Thanks for inspiring me Lori-King Salmon & Truffle Cream looks amazing. I “like” the Gourmet Attitude on FB as well.
Hi Maureen – this fresh king is flown in from New Zealand. They fly whole fish here, and sell it within 48 hours. I bought it at the famers market at the fish stand, she has all kinds of fish, including live sea urchin, which I also brought home and hope to share soon. Have to wait another month or so for my favorite salmon, from our own waters here, off the California coast at Morro Bay. Thanks for your comment.

What a fantastic farmer’s market you have. I’ll look forward to your sea urchin post.
I’m headed to Monterey in May for Cooking for Solutions at Monterey Bay Aquarium. I cannot wait to eat fresh CA seafood!
Yum! Truffles are the bomb, make everything so deeply delicious! Liked Gourmet Attitude on FB too! Thanks for the opportunity!
Another to-die-for dish!
Can’t wait to try one of these deliciously looking products!
I just love the art work on your plates LL! I just love the last photo!
