Salmon has long been central to Irish coastal cuisine, especially along the Atlantic. This version keeps the technique grounded and executable: a properly seared salmon fillet with a fresh herb crust and bright green asparagus. The infusion lives in a controlled lemon-herb finishing oil, brushed over the salmon just before serving for precise dosing without compromising texture.

A Note on Dosing:

This recipe serves 4 plates.

Using 1.5g of 15% THC flower:

~55mg THC total (infused into finishing oil).
~12–14mg per plate.

• 1.5g cannabis flower
• 1/2 cup olive oil

Decarb cannabis at 225°F for 35–40 minutes.
Infuse oil at 160–170°F for 2 hours.

All THC is in this oil.

Step 2: Herb Crust (Non-Infused)

• 1/2 cup fresh parsley
