Signature Dishes My Clients Love I specialize in elevated, flavor-packed dishes that showcase the best of pescatarian and vegetarian cuisine, including: • Lobster Risotto – A rich, creamy indulgence featuring succulent lobster, perfectly cooked arborio rice, and a luxurious blend of parmesan and aromatic herbs. • Pan-Seared Scallops with Citrus Butter Glaze – Golden-crusted, melt-in-your-mouth scallops, kissed with a citrus-infused butter sauce and served over a velvety purée or delicate greens. • Crab Cakes with Lemon Aioli – Packed with premium lump crab meat, these golden, crispy cakes are bursting with flavor and paired with a zesty lemon aioli for the perfect balance of richness and freshness. • Honey Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon – A client favorite!
