BotRG - Iron Chef Style!

Well, this post doesn't quite count, but screw it, its my blog and I cooked the main dish.   The company I work for held a team retreat day.  First half meetings, the second half we had a Iron Chef cook off challenge!  We split the company into 2 teams and had at it.  Each team had a secrete ingredient.  They had chicken and we had salmon.

There was a chef roaming through out the contest helping each team, but once I had my plan I was pretty much on my own.  I was in charge of the main dish, salmon in paper.

I chopped and sautéed veggies (potatoes, onions, peppers, garlic)  and place them in little plies on circle cut paper folds.  The salmon went on top with a little lemon and grapefruit slice.  Into the convection oven for less than 10 minutes.  The salmon was perfect.

Our team served it up with mushroom risotto, french green beans (quick cooked, with oil and garlic) and a near perfect creme brulee.

The other team had a stuffed chicken three way (not what you think) and Kale chips and roasted veggies, and a tart that was a bit more soup like than tart like.

We won of course!

This is our dish....


And theirs....
