Method
 

Instructions
  1. For the Garlic Parmesan Smashed Potatoes: Place the baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil.
  2. Cook the potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Lightly smash each potato with the bottom of a glass or a fork, keeping them relatively intact.
  5. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  6. Pour the garlic butter over the smashed potatoes, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
  7. Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden and crispy.
  8. For the Blackened Salmon Bites: Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized cubes.
  9. Sprinkle the blackening seasoning evenly over the salmon pieces.
  10. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon bites in a single layer.
  11. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and has a blackened crust. Remove from heat and serve with lemon wedges.
  12. For the Ribeye Steak: Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  13. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  14. Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke.
  15. Add the steaks to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes without moving them.
  16. Flip the steaks, add butter, minced garlic, and herbs (if using) to the skillet.
  17. Baste the steaks with melted butter and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
  18. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
