Spring Recipes
Salmon and Spinach Soup
Recipe provided by Willet Feng, student at Texas Culinary Academy		 Asparagus and Tomato Salad
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
 Ingredients
• 1 shallot • Fish bones (preferably from the head and tail)
• Baby spinach • 2 cans of chicken broth (14 oz each)
• Vegetable oil • Cayenne pepper
• Salt • Pepper
 Instructions
Set a pot on medium high heat and drizzle in about one tablespoon of oil.

Thinly slice one shallot and drop it into the pot. Saute until caramelized, but not burnt (otherwise your soup will taste bitter). Once they have taken on some color, add fish bones and sear. Do not crowd the pot; split into two batches if necessary. Remove after searing. Deglaze with 2 cans of chicken broth and season with cayenne pepper and salt. Return the bones and simmer for at least 20 minutes.

Skin and thinly slice your salmon fillet against the grain. Arrange in a single layer in a bowl with baby spinach. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

To serve, heat the soup until boiling, then ladle into prepared bowls. Make sure to submerge the salmon slices so they are cooked. Serve with garlic parmesan toast (recipe to follow). Serves 2 to 4. *
