This was a meal that was perfect on all levels. The salmon tasted like butter (without adding any), the bean puree was amazing (essentially like eating bean dip with a fork) and it included all of the components for a well-balanced meal: vegetable, protein, fiber and healthy fats – and a few cloves of garlic for good measure.
White Bean Puree
- 1 1/2 cups white beans, hot
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic
Puree all ingredients until desired consistency.
Seared Salmon
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 16 oz salmon filet
- salt & pepper
Season filet with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in large pan. When oil is hot place fish in pan, skin side up and sear for about 5 minutes. Flip over and heat until cooked through.

I think my “go to” recipe is salmon with a light wasabi vinaigrette.
I love bean purees. I’ve never done the white beans, but that looks great. I do edammame puree with the above salmon all to often.

That looks great! Will try for sure. I love salmon, but we don’t make it much at home since I am the only one who would eat it. I let the restaurants prepare it for me most of the time!

The white bean puree looks like a great alternative to potatoes. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, it even tasted a lot like potatoes! I exclaimed that it was like potatoes but better and my BF thought that was a little overboard!

The white bean puree looks and sounds a-mazing. It reminds me of a cauliflower puree I made to go with a steak dinner.
Salmon is one of the foods I wish I liked. For some reason I just don’t like it.

When you cook Salmon, how do you get that fish smell out of the house?
I guess I don’t really notice a fishy smell…unless it just doesn’t bother us?

I love how salmon can just be simply seasoned and it tastes amazing! I also love the white bean puree – it’s almost like a hummus/bean spread, which I could eat every single day! I also love to add lemon slices on top of my salmon sometimes, adds a little bit more flavor.

that white bean puree looks so good! I’ve seen recipes for white bean hummus but I don’t want to buy tahini and waste it for one recipe..this looks so much better and simpler! thank you!
I don’t think you need tahini in white bean dip – I’ve made it a few times with olive oil, salt & pepper and some herbs…it is one of my favorites!

So delicious! What an awesome idea to puree the white beans like a mashed potato of sorts! Love this!
And I usually create a maple-dijon glaze for the salmon, then I bake it.
Have a great Wednesday!

Gosh, that DOEs look perfect…I love that contrast of the white, creamy puree, and the slightly seared salmon…what a wonderful meal!
