One Pot Creamy Tomato Salmon Gnocchi
Description
This recipe begins with pan-searing skinless salmon fillets until cooked and set aside. Onions and garlic are sautéed in the same pan, then deglazed with white wine. A canned diced or pureed tomato base is added along with Italian seasoning, capers, salt, and pepper, simmering to reduce slightly. Potato gnocchi and heavy cream are incorporated, cooking together until the gnocchi is tender and the sauce thickens. Fresh spinach is folded in at the end for color and subtle greens.
The salmon is returned to the pan and served with the creamy gnocchi sauce. The dish combines the richness of cream and cheese with the acidity of tomatoes and briny capers, balanced by tender gnocchi providing a soft, pillowy texture. The seared salmon contributes a flaky, meaty element.
This one-pot approach simplifies cooking and cleanup. Using skinless, thick salmon fillets ensures even cooking. Substituting different onions or wine types will slightly alter flavor without compromising the dish. Shelf-stable gnocchi can be found in most supermarkets, ready to cook directly in the sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil divided
- 2 salmon see note 1, fillets
- 1 onion - see note 2
- 4 garlic cloves
- ¼ cup white wine - see note 3
- 1 diced tomatoes 14.5oz/400g can, or pureed, canned
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon capers
- 1 ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 lb potato gnocchi see note 4, uncooked
- 1 cup spinach fresh
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil, in a skillet or high-sided frying pan, over medium-high heat.
- Sear the salmon for 4 minutes on each side (or until cooked to your liking), then transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
- While the salmon is cooking peel and finely chop one onion and 4 garlic cloves.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and saute the onion for 4-5 minutes until soft.
- Add the chopped garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the white wine and let the mixture simmer for 1 minute.
- Add in the can of diced/pureed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper and 2 tablespoon of drained capers.
- Cook this for 5 minutes, uncovered over medium-high heat until thickened slightly. Stir regularly, so it doesn't catch on the bottom.
- Add the gnocchi and heavy cream, bring back to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add in the fresh spinach.
- Flake over the cooked salmon and serve.
Notes
- Use skinless, thick salmon fillets for easier cooking and a meatier texture.
- Any type of onion can be used; brown onions are a suitable choice.
- Dry white wine works well in the sauce but can be substituted with vegetable broth or fish stock if preferred.
- Pre-packaged gnocchi from the pasta aisle can be cooked directly in the sauce, simplifying preparation.
