‘Salmon alla Puttanesca’
Ingredients:
For the Salmon
- 2 x Salmon Fillets skin on
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- Dash Himalayan sea salt
- Dash freshly ground pepper
For the Puttanesca
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil (I removed most of the oil)
- 2 Roma tomatoes (or 1 cup whole peeled plum tomatoes)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1 1/2 tbsp capers
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp parsley
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp basil
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- Optional: 1/4 cup kalamata olives, drained and pitted
For the Puttanesca
1. In a food processor, immersion blender, or a high-speed blender combine garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, onion, tomatoes, 1 tbsp capers, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, parsley, red pepper flakes, and freshly ground pepper and pulse for 1-2 minutes. You don’t want it fully smooth, so don’t over mix
2. Once done, transfer mixture to a medium saucepan and cook over low heat for 10 minutes. Add in additional 1/2 tbsp capers while in saucepan
For the Salmon
1. Rub salmon with 1/2 tbsp oil and sprinkle with salt, and pepper
2. Heat other 1/2 tbsp oil in a pan – medium heat
3. When the oil begins to heat place your salmon skin side down in the pan and sear for 1-2 minutes or until it has browned
4. Flip and cook on other side until cooked hald way through
5. Place salmon on a plate, top with puttanesca sauce and garnish with fresh basil
Serve on a bed of grilled asparagus, steamed broccoli or Asian greens
