Directions
Apple Chutney Directions
Heat a heavy, medium-sized skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and onion and sauté until onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Mix in apple, apple juice and vinegar. Cook until thick. Season chutney to taste with salt and pepper. Parsley Potato Directions
Peel potatoes. Add them to a heavy 5-quart saucepan, then cover with salted cold water to a level 2 inches above the potatoes. Simmer uncovered until just tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain in a colander and toss in a bowl with olive oil and parsley. Using a fork, lightly mash the potatoes. Salt and pepper to taste, reserve and keep warm.
Seared Salmon Directions
Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper and dill. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, over moderately high heat, heat 2 tablespoon oil until hot but not smoking. Add 4 fillets, skin-side-up, and sear until undersides are well browned, about 4 minutes. Turn fillets over and sear until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes more.
To Serve
Divide the parsley potatoes on four plates, top with the apple chutney, then a salmon fillet, and then top with celery root and dill salad.
