Ingredients
- 4 6 ounces each salmon fillets skinless
- ½ cup black raisins
- ½ cup olive oil
- 4 celery stalks discard all green leaves, diced
- 1 ounce pine nuts roughly chopped
- 3 tablespoons capers
- 2 tablesppons capers juice
- ¼ cup green olives pitted and chopped
- ¼ teaspoon saffron strands placed in 1 tablespoon hot water
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Rehydrate the raisins with hot water in a small bowl with enough water to cover them. 20 minutes meanwhile proceed with the recipe below.
- Rub the salmon’s fillets with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet add 1/3 cup of olive oil over high heat. When hot add the celery and the pine nuts and cook for 4 to 5 minutes stirring constantly. Remove from the heat once the pine nuts start to color.
- Away from the heat add the capers and the juice, the diced olives, saffron strand with the water and a pinch of salt. Drain the raisins and add them to the skillet as well as the parsley, lemon zest and lemon juice. Set aside.
- In another skillet add 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Sear the salmon fillets, 3 – 4 minutes each side. A bit more if you like the salmon well done.
- Place a salmon fillet on each dish and arrange generously the olive sauce over it.
Notes
- Stove Top Method
- In a large enough skillet to hold your salmon fillets, add olive oil and sear the salmon for three to four minutes per side.
- Oven Method
- An alternative to searing the salmon on the stove is to bake it in the oven at 375F for 10 to 12 minutes. I prefer it.
- Place the salmon on top of parchment paper, and add salt and pepper for seasoning.
- Once the salmon is in the oven, cook all the other ingredients.
