Large sauté pan
Instructions
Makes 4 servings | Chef Jordan’s Tips: Fresh herbs, from basil, cilantro and thyme would all add incredible freshness to the plate.
In medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, combine celery root, water, cashews, ¼ tsp (1 mL) salt and pepper and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until celery root is fork tender, about 20 minutes.
Transfer celery root and cashews and cannabis oil to a blender, reserving the cooking liquid. Puree until smooth, adding the reserved liquid until you achieve the desired consistency. Set aside.
Warm a large sauté pan over medium/high heat. Add oil and the salmon, skin-side down. Using a spatula, lightly press the salmon down, spreading it out and exposing the entire surface of the skin to the heat.
Turn heat to medium and cook the salmon until the skin is crispy and releases naturally from the pan, about 20 minutes. Flip the salmon and sear the flesh for five seconds. Remove salmon from the heat and transfer to a plate, skin-side facing up, to rest.
To serve, add the juice released from the salmon during resting to the celery root puree and puree well to combine. Evenly divide puree and place salmon, flesh-side down into the puree, preserving the crispy skin. Season with remaining salt and pepper and serve immediately.
Fried Chicken
Instructions
2-4 servings | Chef Jordan’s Tips: I use avocado oil but feel free to use your favourite frying oil. When choosing a pan to fry in, ensure the oil does not go higher than 1/3 the height of the pan. Any cut of chicken works in this recipe, including boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
In a blender, combine cherry tomatoes, basil, hot sauce, vinegar, cannabis oil and salt and puree until smooth. Transfer to a boil and set aside.
In a mixing bowl combine potato starch, ¼ tsp (1mL) salt, ¼ tsp (1 mL) pepper and mix well to combine and set aside.
In another mixing bowl, combine egg, vinegar and ¼ tsp (1mL) salt and ¼ tsp (1 mL) pepper and whisk well. Set aside.
Place chicken into the potato starch mixture to thoroughly coat and transfer to a plate and set aside for at least 30 minutes.
In a large saucepan or using a fryer, heat oil to 350F.
Add chicken, one at a time, and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove chicken from the oil and toss immediately in the sauce. Coat well and transfer to a plate to rest.
Continue frying until all chicken is cooked and serve immediately.

Using a sharp knife, make three cuts into both sides of the fish, about an inch apart, from the fin to belly.
Season fish evenly with olive oil and salt and set aside.
Crumple parchment paper into a ball and place the paper into the cavity of the fish. Place fish onto a baking sheet, pressing down to flatten the bottom of the paper, enabling the fish to stand on its own. Repeat so all fish are sitting on their pedestal of parchment paper and transfer to a preheated oven.
Roast until eyes are white and flesh is opaque, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
