Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 salmon fillet skinless, 6 ounces each
  • ½ cup black raisins
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 4 celery discard all green leaves, diced, stalks
  • 1 ounce pine nuts roughly chopped
  • 3 tablespoons capers
  • 2 tablesppons capers juice
  • ¼ cup green olives pitted and chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon saffron placed in 1 tablespoon hot water, strands
  • 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

  1. Rehydrate the raisins with hot water in a small bowl with enough water to cover them. 20 minutes meanwhile proceed with the recipe below.
  2. Rub the salmon’s fillets with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
  3. 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. 
  4. 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.
  5. 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. 
  6. 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.
