PAN-SEARED SALMON WITH CELERY, OLIVES AND CAPERS



Pan-Seared Salmon With Celery, Olives and Capers image

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.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2/3 cup/100 grams currants
Generous pinch of saffron
4 salmon fillets (about 4 ounces each), skin on
About 1/2 cup/100 milliliters olive oil
Salt and black pepper
4 sticks celery (about 6 ounces/180 grams), cut into 1/2-inch/1-centimeter dice, leaves removed and reserved for garnish
1/4 cup/30 grams pine nuts, roughly chopped
Scant 1/4 cup/40 grams drained capers, plus 2 tablespoons of their brine
8 large green olives, pitted and cut into 1/2-inch/1-centimeter dice
1/3 cup/20 grams parsley, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon lemon juice

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.

EASY PAN-SEARED COD WITH LEMON, OLIVES AND CAPERS



Easy Pan-Seared Cod with Lemon, Olives and Capers image

A southern Mediterranean recipe for pan-seared fish, with bright, assertive flavors!

Provided by Marilena Leavitt

Categories     Seafood Main

Time 14m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pieces of cod, ¾"- 1" thick, (about 6 oz. each)
--- sea salt and freshly ground pepper
2-3 TBSP. olive oil (or, neutral oil)
½ medium lemon (zested and sliced)
1 garlic clove, finely minced
6 olives, black and green, chopped
1 TBSP. small capers, rinsed and dried
2 TBSP. tender celery leaves (or parsley)

Steps:

  • Pat dry the fish fillets very well, then season them generously with salt and pepper and set them aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the garlic, olives, and capers.
  • Zest the lemon and cut it into thin slices
  • Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. It should be large enough to accommodate the fish and the lemon slices. Add the olive oil and, when it gets hot, carefully lower the two fish fillets into the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Using a fish spatula, gently press the fillets against the skillet ensuring that the whole side of the fish is in contact with the heat (this is important especially when cooking fish with the skin still on - it ensures crispy skin). Let the fish cook for about three minutes and then shake the skillet gently to check if the fish releases from the pan. If it does not, let it cook for another 30 seconds (when the fillets form a crust, they will easily release from the pan). Flip the fish to the uncooked side, then add the lemon slices to the pan around the fillets. Cook the fish for two minutes more (the cooking time depends on the thickness of the fish and how well you want the fish cooked). With a fork, check the flesh of the fish to make sure it flakes easily. Flip the slices of lemon. Add the garlic mixture to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Transfer the fish to two plates and spoon the mixture of olives and capers over the fish. Sprinkle the fillets with the reserved lemon zest and celery leaves. Serve with extra lemon on the side.
