The Running Bear Salmon isn't just another fish dish; it’s a perfect balance. We start with a premium 200g salmon fillet, pan-seared to perfection. A crisp, golden skin that gives way to that buttery, melt-in-your-mouth texture that only high-quality salmon can provide.
But a legend is nothing without its supporting cast. We’ve paired this beauty with a vibrant mix of seasonal greens - fresh, crunchy, and full of life. To keep things hearty (the Lone Star way), we serve it alongside crispy smashed baby potatoes. Fluffy on the inside with those irresistible craggy, golden edges that soak up every drop of flavour.
Every great meal needs a finishing touch that ties it all together. For the Running Bear, it’s our house-made lemon and caper cream sauce. The zest of the lemon cuts through the richness of the salmon, while the briny pop of the capers adds a sophisticated edge to the velvety cream. It’s light enough for a summer evening but comforting enough for a cozy winter dinner.
At Lone Star, our values of Love, Care, and Generosity are at the heart of everything we do. We believe eating out should be fun, unpretentious, and consistently delicious. The Running Bear Salmon embodies that spirit - it’s honest food, cooked exceptionally well, served in an environment where you can truly kick back and relax.
No legendary meal is complete without the right drop to wash it down. To elevate the flavours of the Running Bear Salmon, our experts recommend the Church Road Grand Reserve Chardonnay.
It’s a match made in heaven. The wine is beautifully creamy and oaky, echoing the richness of the salmon and the lemon cream sauce. You’ll pick up vibrant notes of stone fruit and butterscotch, which provide a stunning contrast to the salty capers and crispy potatoes.
