PAN-SEARED SALMON WITH CAPERS AND GREEN PEPPERCORNS
I got this recipe from an Oprah Magazine back in 2001, I have changed it just a bit over the years. We make this frequently. It is my favorite way to make salmon. The capers and peppercorns are sharp compared to the delicate flavor of salmon. I am only able to find the green peppercorn in brine at specialty food stores. If I can't find them or I'm just too lazy to go out and search, I have made this recipe without them and it is still really good. I like to serve this with a side of couscous with pinenuts and spoon some of the pan juices on it too. Enjoy!

PAN-SEARED SALMON WITH CELERY, OLIVES AND CAPERS
The salsa that I spoon over the salmon here is an explosion of contrasting flavors - sweet, salty and sharp - common in Sicilian cooking. I like serving this with sautéed greens and some bread.

Steps:
- Cover the currants with boiling water and set aside to soak for 20 minutes. In a separate small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of boiling water with the saffron and also leave for 20 minutes or longer.
- Gently rub the salmon fillets with 2 teaspoons of the oil, 1/3 teaspoon of salt and a good grind of pepper. Set aside while you make the relish.
- Add 1/3 cup/75 milliliters of olive oil to a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the celery and pine nuts and fry for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the nuts begin to brown (watch carefully as they can burn quickly). Turn off heat and stir in the capers and their brine, the olives, saffron and its water and a pinch of salt. Drain the currants and add them as well, along with the parsley, lemon zest and juice. Mix well and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add salmon fillets skin-side down and let cook for 3 minutes, until the skin is crisp. Reduce the heat to medium, flip the fillets over and cook 2 to 4 minutes more (depending on how much you like the salmon to be cooked).
- Divide the salmon on 4 plates and serve with the warm relish spooned on top. Scatter reserved celery leaves (if using) and serve immediately.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, high-quality salmon. Look for fillets that are firm and have a vibrant color.
- To ensure that the salmon cooks evenly, make sure the fillets are of uniform thickness. If necessary, use a sharp knife to trim the fillets so that they are all the same thickness.
- To prevent the salmon from sticking to the pan, make sure the pan is hot before adding the fillets. You can also use a non-stick pan or spray the pan with cooking spray.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the salmon fillets in batches if necessary.
- Cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. The salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
- To add extra flavor to the salmon, you can season it with salt, pepper, and other spices before cooking. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of butter to the salmon after it is cooked.
- Serve the salmon immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for salmon include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
Pan-seared salmon is a delicious and healthy meal that can be prepared in just a few minutes. By following these tips, you can ensure that your salmon turns out perfect every time.
