Easy Salmon Puttanesca Recipes

Steps:

• Coat fish with mustard. Heat oil in medium skillet on medium-high heat. Add fish; cook 3 min. on each side or until browned on both sides. Remove fish from skillet; cover to keep warm.
• Add onions and garlic to skillet; cook 3 min., stirring occasionally. Add all remaining ingredients except 1 Tbsp. parsley. Cook 5 min.; stir. Top with fish; cover. Cook 4 to 5 min. or until fish flakes easily with fork.
• Sprinkle with remaining parsley.

Steps:

• Stir together the garlic powder, basil, and salt in a small bowl; rub in equal amounts onto the salmon fillets.
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook the salmon in the butter until browned and flaky, about 5 minutes per side. Serve each piece of salmon with a lemon wedge.

Steps:

• The Veggies:
• First Roast the Garlic: Place 2 cups of the garlic cloves and 2 cups of canola oil in a saucepot. Heat on medium-low heat to the lowest detection of simmer; do not fry the garlic. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes until the garlic is golden brown.
• Drain and separate the garlic cloves from the oil reserving both ingredients. To puree the garlic, place the roasted garlic in a food processor and puree until smooth. Reserve.
• Butcher the Salmon: The salmon should be about 2 1/2 to 3 ounces in weight with no skin or fat. With a ring cutter, gently cut a nice circle of salmon from the center of each fillet. Reserve. Save all the salmon scraps to grind for the tartar.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Now, cook the salmon. First, season with garlic oil then salt and pepper. In a hot, oiled saute pan, add the salmon and let it sear on the topside first until golden. Flip over and brush the salmon medallion lightly with the garlic puree. Roast for a few minutes depending on your preferred doneness. Reserve.
• Note: This dish was created by using the salmon scraps. They are diced and mixed with classic ingredients of tartar.
• For the Tartar: Hand dice or grind all the salmon scraps and place in a bowl. Fold in the remaining ingredients, except butter and the quail eggs, using a spatula and reserve.
• Cook the Quail Eggs: Melt a little butter in a non-stick pan. Pre-crack the eggs and place in small, individual containers. Then cook them 'up' over low heat and reserve.
• Saute the Veggies: In a hot, oiled saute pan, add the shallots and carrots. Saute for 30 seconds. Add the green beans. Saute for an additional 30 seconds and add a splash of stock. Saute for 1 to 2 more minutes, add salt pepper and butter and continue to saute until nicely cooked. Reserve.
• To plate: A bowl works nice for this dish. Pack about 1 1/2 ounces of the tartar into a ring mold; remove the mold. Place the salmon on top of the tartar. Tightly spoon the coulis around the center ingredients. Spoon some veggies tightly on top of the salmon. Then top it with the 'up' quail egg. Now top with chervil and serve.
• In a blender, add the garbanzo beans, anchovy paste, capers, chili flakes, salt, pepper, and a splash of the chicken stock. Puree and add a touch more of the chicken stock to loosen. Now add the olive oil to smooth out the coulis.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a small saucepan, over medium heat, add 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup rinsed lentils. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Season the salmon steaks with salt and pepper on all sides. In a large nonstick saute pan, over medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. When the oil is hot and shimmering add the salmon fillets. Cook for 3 minutes, then turn and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on the other side. Remove the fillets to a baking sheet fitted with a rack and put in the oven.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same pan, over high heat. When the oil is hot add the onions, capers, olives and anchovies. Stir often until the onions are just starting to caramelize. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and saute for 2 minutes more. Stir in the tomatoes, red wine vinegar and the lemon juice. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the lentils and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Stir in the basil and parsley and remove from heat.
• Remove the salmon from oven, and transfer the fillets to serving plates. Top each serving with the puttanesca and garnish with a whole basil sprig.
