-Artichoke
Take the panko and herbs off that poor salmon and put it in that artichoke like nature intended.
Nature taught me to use artichoke petals like a shovel for drawn butter.
Hey OP, that’s a delicious looking piece of salmon. what’s the green plant bulb?
Not OP but it’s Artichoke
Thanks! I didn’t know they were that large.
It’s also way more artichoke to food ratio, considering most of that artichoke isn’t even edible.
About 75% of that artichoke was edible, but yes, some of the outer petals weren’t worth eating.
Dip the petals in drawn butter & scrape the “meat” & butter off with your teeth.
It is more artichoke than necessary, so I typically save the heart & petals I didn’t eat to make dip.
I’ll have to give that a try the next time I get my hands on some artichokes for a reasonable price.
How do you cook it, just steamed?
Yep! Steamed for about an hour. I also enjoy it with olive oil, sea salt & desired spice blend.
I live in NC & I’ve had it served here with mayo/lemond/dijon/garlic dip. It’s not bad, but haven’t tried to replicate it.
That’s the artichoke
