Crispy Skin Salmon with Orange Glaze and Peach Herb Salad
Pan-seared salmon with crispy skin, orange glaze, and a fresh peach and herb salad with parsley, mint, and basil
Athena: "We're going to do a crispy skin salmon with a peach and herb salad and an orange glaze underneath the salmon... We're gonna use some parsley, mint, and basil."
Timothy (presenting to judges): "We made a crispy skin salmon with an orange glaze and a peach herb salad on the side."
Joe Bastianich: "It just begs the question that even a perfectly cooked piece of salmon with crispy skin and peach and herb salad, is that a dish? I know you limited yourself a lot with time, and I'm not sure that strategy really worked out for you, because at the end of the day, this may even be good. But is it a dish that can create redemption for you and save your spot in the MasterChef kitchen? I don't know."
Tiffany Derry: "I just hope it's cooked beautifully inside. Beautiful... Mine's under, almost raw. I'm looking at both of their salmons, and theirs look great, but mine here is still under. Yes, you can eat it, but I didn't know I was eating sushi today. What I will say is the orange glaze that I don't really see, but I definitely taste is a winner. It is bright, it has citrus, it brings sweetness. Just feels like there should be more."
Gordon Ramsay: "It's a shame, because the problems with this dish are not in my dish. They're really in Tiffany's dish. Look at this. It's cooked perfectly of this crispy, perfect salmon... Mine is pink crisp on top. That skin tastes like the bacon of the sea, but I can't say it's highly skilled. Chopping up peaches and sticking them with some fresh mint. There are some very good dishes tonight. And this doesn't match those dishes. What a shame. I want to see more."
