Pan Sauteed Salmon Over Mediterranean Vegetables Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a large heavy skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes.
• Coat salmon with olive oil. Place in skillet, and increase heat to high. Cook for 3 minutes. Sprinkle with capers, and salt and pepper. Turn salmon over, and cook for 5 minutes, or until browned. Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
• Transfer salmon to individual plates, and garnish with lemon slices.

Steps:

• Heat 1/2 teaspoon oil in a small nonstick skillet over low heat. Add prosciutto; saute 5 minutes, or until crispy. Stir in garlic; turn off heat.
• Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and mushrooms and saute 8-10 minutes, or until golden. Stir in tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes. Add spinach and basil and cook for 3 more minutes. Stir in prosciutto-garlic mixture. Cover, keep warm.
• Season salmon filets with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil in the same skillet used to cook prosciutto over medium heat. Add salmon, skin-side down, and cook covered, 10-12 minutes or until fish flakes easily. Use a spatula to loosen fish from its skin, which will stick to skillet. Divide vegetables among 4 plates, top with salmon and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Make a horizontal slice in the center of each salmon fillet but do not cut all the way through.
• Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add spinach and cook uncovered until tender, about 40 seconds. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain thoroughly and transfer to a bowl.
• Add sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, and feta cheese to the blanched spinach; mix to combine. Divide evenly and stuff into the salmon "pockets." Season fillets with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Place salmon fillets, skin-sides down, in the hot skillet and sear for 5 minutes. Gently flip and sear the other sides for 5 minutes. Flip again to finish cooking, about 5 minutes more.
