If you’re a watermelon lover, your season has finally arrived! Grocery stores and farmers’ markets are stocked with ripe, juicy watermelons just waiting to be cracked open and enjoyed.
When executive chef Javi Perez helped design Pomelo at The Orchard’s menu, he created dishes that were simple yet elegant. “When you read our menu, you know what you’re going to get and almost everything is made from scratch,” he says. The pan roasted wild salmon has quickly become popular with customers, but it also happens to be Perez’s favorite dish on the menu.
Even though there are many steps to follow when cooking the dish, Perez says it’s a great recipe for a home cook. “If you want to impress your friends, it takes a little time, but anyone can make this. Once plated, it looks like it came from a fine dining restaurant.”
