Salmon Puttanesca Food

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.
• Bake until the salmon is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 170ºF, about 8-10 minutes.
• 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.

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.

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.
