Reservations are filling fast for Salt Lake’s favorite Mother’s Day brunches! A relaxing weekend brunch is a great way to spend time with Mom, whether you prefer a grand buffet like Little America, an intimate plated brunch like Franck’s, gorgeous gardens at La Caille, or a mountain getaway like the Homestead Resort. Mother’s Day 2012 is Sunday, May 13.
For those who prefer a Saturday option, The Harvest Restaurant at Thanksgiving Point will serve an elegant Mother’s Day buffet brunch May 12 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. The buffet includes this salmon recipe from Chef Jason Merryweather:
Seared Salmon Salad with Avocado and Pineapple
Salad components:
- 1 lb. mixed greens
- 2 medium ripe avocados (diced)
- ½ medium Pineapple (diced)
- 1 medium cucumber (peeled and diced)
- 1 lb. grape tomatoes
- 4 or 5 portions salmon filet
- 1 T. olive oil
Combine first five ingredients in a large bowl. Heat up large saute pan over medium heat. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Add olive oil to the pan, place salmon skin side up and cook halfway. Turn salmon and cook until done.
Citrus Vinaigrette:
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon, 1 lime and 1 orange
- 1 T. sugar
