When one hears the name Lawry’s The Prime Rib, it’s easy to picture lavish cuts of slow-roasted beef, perfectly carved tableside with all the pomp and ceremony befitting a fine dining institution. But let’s rethink the assumption that Lawry’s menu only begins and ends with steak. While our prime rib is legendary, Lawry’s also offers an exquisite selection of non-beef and seafood options, including the indulgent Salmon Rockefeller—a dish that proves fine dining in Jakarta isn’t just about red meat.

What Exactly is Salmon Rockefeller?

The dish takes inspiration from the classic Oysters Rockefeller, a New Orleans creation dating back to 1899. Traditionally, oysters are baked with a rich, herbaceous butter sauce and a crisp, golden crust, so decadent that it was named after John D. Rockefeller, the wealthiest man of his time. Salmon Rockefeller is a luxurious twist on this classic—replacing oysters with tender, flaky salmon and layering it with a velvety blend of spinach, butter, tarragon, and parmesan.

At home, preparing Salmon Rockefeller can be as simple or as refined as one desires. Celebrity chef Jamie Purviance’s take on the dish calls for a well-balanced combination of fresh baby spinach, anise-flavored liqueur, and a touch of white wine vinegar, enhancing the natural richness of the fish. Grilled over medium heat and served with white rice, this version delivers a smoky, sophisticated flair. Another variation incorporates crispy bacon, shallots, and a buttery cracker topping for a more indulgent finish—baked to perfection in the oven.
