- Hey guys, it's Sandi, from Shape Up Sandi.
Welcome back!
Today's episode is how to make a gourmet crusted salmon,
from Chef Jason of Premier Fitness Camps.
This salmon is so yummy, oh my God.
I cannot wait for you to try it,
and, yeah, let's get our yum on.
Let's go.
Well, as you can see, I like to eat.
I'm really comfortable on this side of the counter,
but I'm really, really not comfortable on this side.
I don't like to cook.
In fact, I am terrified of it.
And, you know what?
Between you and me, like, that three o'clock hour
when I have to figure out what to make for my kids
is the most stressful hour of my life, every single day.
So, I've gotta conquer this and I've gotta learn how to cook
and I gotta admit, I'm kinda nervous.
I don't like knives, I'm scared of cutting my fingers.
As a balloon artist,
my fingers are a little bit important to me.
But, we're gonna do this thing anyway,
and we're gonna learn how to make something super yummy.
So, come on, let's go into the kitchen,
and let's see what Chef Jason has in store for us.

- [Jason] What do you like to do for fun?
- [Sandi] Okay, I'm ready.
- Welcome, Sandi!
- Hey! - How are you dear?
- Good, oh, thank you, thank you.
- So glad to have you here today.
So, today's dish, are you okay with salmon?
- Oh, I love salmon, yeah.
- Good, so we brought in
this awesome, wild Alaskan-- - I don't know how
to cook salmon, though.
- Okay, well, I'm gonna walk you through it.
We've brought in a wild Alaskan salmon,
in fact, we've brought in 15 pounds of wild Alaskan salmon,
head on, and everything.
We cleaned it up thoroughly,
and, we broke it down into the fillet form.
So, that's actually a fillet of salmon right there,
as you can see.
That's a five ounce piece of fillet.
Now, why don't you just kinda rub it real quick?
Now, what you're feeling there is all the natural oils
that actually come off this great fish, okay?
- Is it sushi quality?
- It is not sushi quality. - Not sushi quality, okay.
- But, we are gonna sear it.
But these are the natural oils that we consider all
the omega oils that we hear a lot about,
the essential fatty acids.
So, let's start with some asparagus.
Let's grab some of these asparagus spears.
Beautiful asparagus spears.
Most of the asparagus that I remember,
came out of Yakima, Washington,
but these are coming out of Peru.
And, a lot of times you'll hear people just,
when it snaps, and that's when you do it.
We can save some time and we can just cut too.
The cut is, I'm just gonna show you the move.
My fingers are back, choked up on the knife,
and it's a cut like this,
so it's-- - Okay.
- One, two, three. - Okay, let's see.
- [Jason] Try it.
Yes, yes!
You're an expert, you're an expert.
- [Sandi] They're not exactly like perfect.
- [Jason] The only change is choking up on that knife.
- [Sandi] Oh yeah, I got that.
- [Jason] You got the hang of how to cut.
Get that to spritz now. - What is that EVOO?
- [Both] Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
- Okay. - I just put regular
olive oil in there, It's just a container but I like it
because I don't put too much oil when I'm cooking.
- That's really cool.
- So give it a spritz. - I never thought about that.
- Spritz that. - Is that enough?
- One more. - One, two?
- Ah, yes, okay, good.
Okay, grab some of this salt here
and sprinkle a little bit of salt.
We're using our fingers and add extra very lightly.
You don't need a lot on that.
Throw that around.
I've got a seasoning blend here.
Don't ask how many ingredients are in there.
There's 15 magic spices.
Okay, mix that all up with your fingers if you don't mind?
Yeah, get in there,
yeah use those fingers. - That I can do.
- [Jason] And what I'm gonna do just take more of this oil
and I'm gonna kinda spritz our sheet pan.
- [Sandi] I really like that spritzer.
- [Jason] We'll get you one.
- [Sandi] Yeah, I need to get me a spritzer.
- [Jason] After that we need to get you a knife
and get you a cutting board.
Now put those asparagus right here on the sheet pan.
I've got an oven already set at 450 degrees.
We are gonna cook this at a very high heat.
It will take about 5-6 minutes in the oven.
- We're gonna do the salmon, huh?
- We are gonna do the salmon.
But prior to doing the salmon
we're gonna actually season this thing.
- Okay.
- So, because there's two steps.
We are gonna actually sear it
then we're actually press it in a press.
- All right. - So, what I'd like
for you to do is take that salmon
again a little bit of our sea salt over the top.
A little bit of that seasoning.
- [Sandi] So, I know you have the feel for this
but how do I figure out what's the right amount
and what's too much?
I would think I would kill the fish in the desert.
- [Jason] I would just start paying attention to recipes
and seeing exactly what they put.
Okay, pull it to you and just spray it.
(oil splashing) Okay keep going,
keep going, keep going.
Okay, put it back on the flame.
All right, just give it a couple of seconds there.
Take that piece of salmon with your hands.
Put it lightly into the pan.
You're gonna hear it, you're gonna hear it.
Yeah, put it back on the flame.
Let it go.
Perfect!
Right here!
- Woo!
- Pull it away from the flame and flip it over lightly.
There ya go, oh, you got it, you got it.
And good, put it back on that flame.
Awesome!
- Woo!
(laughing)
Okay!
- Now we don't need to go too long on this.
We need another minute. - Okay.
- Pull our salmon over here
where we move it we won't get burned.
We're gonna take bread crumbs.
Bread crumbs in a bowl here.
- Okay.
- We need that.
Do you know what that is? - Rosemary, right?
- It is rosemary, yes.
To peel the rosemary, do you know how to do that?
- No. - Okay, so we're gonna
strip the rosemary back like so,
and it comes right off right there.
Keep going, keep going, you've got it.
Yes, beautiful!
Cut the chives like so.
- Oh, just like we did the asparagus.
- Choke up on it.
You got it.
I'm gonna reach in front of you, grab this egg.
- Okay.
- [Jason] Perfect, yes.
I'm gonna crack this egg right in there
while you're doing that, you keep focus on that.
- Yeah, I'm still not comfortable with the knife.
I don't know if I ever will be.
I mean choking up on it like that.
That's kinda scary to me.
Like I just picture, you know,
like holding it around too much
and the blade going straight
through my fingers or something,
I'm, yeah, I don't know.
Somehow I need to find a way
to cut everything without cutting it.
(laughs)
(upbeat music)
- Now mix those up and add a little salt to that.
We've already seasoned our fish
and we don't want to go too heavy on the salt, correct?
- Right. - Okay.
- Okay. - Beautiful.
- Little bit of salt.
- Yeah, I don't know if you can see this
but we put the egg right over the fish.
- Uh-huh, yeah.
- [Jason] Now put some of those breadcrumbs
over the top. - So basically--
(Jason mumbles)
- [Sandi] Right.
So basically our tools are just the knife,
the pan and the tongs.
Like everything that we're doing is just using
those three things. - Exactly!
- [Sandi] Now we have the salmon in the oven cooking.
- Yes, we do.
- How long does-- - We should look at that
and see, go ahead, what were you gonna ask?
- [Sandi] I just wanted to know
how long it should stay in the oven.
- [Jason] That's gonna go about 10 to 12 minutes.
- 10 to 12 minutes.
And what is it on?
- That's still at 450 degrees.
It's the same temperature as the asparagus.
That's the nice thing about this is you can put
all of this in the same oven
but accordingly at the different times.
So you just have to kinda plan it out.
Now what I like to do is, actually add the topping
to this fish when it comes out.
So, if you don't mind,
what kind of apple do you want to use?
Do you wanna use green, do you wanna use red?
- I like green.
I like the tart one.
- [Jason] Okay, you want to slice that apple up.
So, I'll show you the first cut.
- [Sandi] What, do you want me to do this?
- [Jason] Now I'm just gonna cut first.
I'm gonna quarter it with my knife.
And what you're gonna do is you're just gonna
make some slices, okay?
There ya go!
Perfect, perfect!
Just get those fingers tucked back.
Uh huh!
They're actually julienne.
So you take I take these, as you can see, right?
And I'm just gonna--
- [Sandi] Wait, what does julienne mean?
- [Jason] Julienne is fine strips.
- [Sandi] Oh, okay!
- [Jason] Can you see that?
How we did that? - Yeah.
- [Jason] Now they are a lot smaller.
So we've got the star anise
and we got the fennel bulb there.
- [Sandi] The fennel bulb, okay.
- [Jason] You would probably better understand
and see it better if it had the stalks
still coming out of it, actually looks like dill coming out.
- Right. - So we're just gonna
cut pieces of that,
and we can put some of that in our bowl as well.
- [Sandi] Right.
- [Jason] Now just cut up some fresh mint there.
- I love mint. - Yeah.
Now, move your fingers.
Move your fingers.
I just see you creeping up.
- [Sandi] Yeah.
- Just concentrate.
Done, now take some of our olive oil spritz.
Give it a little spritzer there.
Spritz, spritz, spritz away.
- So I'm still loving the spritzer.
- Now, we're gonna do a splash of this.
- [Sandi] Port, which is a kind of wine, right?
- [Jason] Yes, just a splash.
(Sandi giggles)
Just in time!
There ya go!
Look as beautiful that is now.
- [Sandi] Ooh, wow!
That looks really good, doesn't it?
There's the asparagus. - There's our asparagus.
You see the nice golden brown on there.
- Yeah, that looks good.
- Now what I want you to do is I want you
to top a little bit of that apple-fennel slaw
right on top of that salmon.
Put it right in the middle.
That's it but make it come down however.
Yes, okay, now we've got some beautiful
local pea shoots right here.
- [Sandi] Pea shoots.
- [Jason] Yeah, pea shoots
Now this is where you just get creative.
I don't have to even tell you what to do.
(mumbles)
- I mean, you can make the exact same thing
and put it in just like Army, you know,
with the little spots for each individual portion
and look, it just doesn't look very appetizing, right?
And then you can plate it beautifully with a little drizzle
and even though it might not be that much food
like it just looks so much more appetizing
and for some reason it feels more filling.
There's gotta be some kind of psychology behind that.
We'll have to look into that another time.
- So, somebody like myself, who's not a professional
like you, start to finish, what would you estimate
would the time to do this, say, for a family of four?
Or in my case, a family of three.
- Well, I want to say, I mean,
you could make this easily in 30 minutes.
- This is pretty awesome.
Good job.
- Awesome.
- Good work.
I'm gonna take my meal out now and, yeah, thanks.
- Thanks, thanks for coming by.
- This was awesome.
