EASY SALMON PUTTANESCA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF.
• Add sundried tomatoes, roma tomatoes, olives, 1 tablespoon olive oil, capers, lemon juice, parsley, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes to a food processor or blender. Pulse until mixture is minced, but not fully smooth. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in an oven-safe medium skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt and cook until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add minced tomato mixture and bring up to a boil. Lower the heat and continue to simmer for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding salt as needed. Shut off the heat.
• Meanwhile, drizzle olive oil on salmon fillets, and sprinkle seasoning on top. Nestle salmon inside of the puttanesca sauce, and transfer the skillet to the oven.

• Serve immediately, with a side of choice.

CAMPANELLE WITH FRESH PUTTANESCA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil. Salt it heavily. Add the pasta and cook for 2 minutes less than directed by the package, about 5 minutes. Drain well reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet. Season the salmon evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt and add to the hot skillet. Cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on the first side, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, for another minute. Add the tomatoes and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook the tomatoes, stirring often, until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and deglaze with the white wine. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly. Add the olives, parsley and oregano. Stir to combine. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and sprinkle the bare pasta with the Parmesan. Toss well to coat. Add 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water and the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil and toss to combine. Add more pasta water as needed to maintain a silky sauce. Serve with additional cheese and olive oil if desired.

ROAST SALMON AND TARTAR IN PUTTANESCA COULIS

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.
