Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil divided
  • 2 salmon fillets - see note 1
  • 1 onion - see note 2
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • ¼ cup white wine - see note 3
  • 1 can diced/pureed tomatoes (14.5oz/400g can)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon capers
  • 1 ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 lb uncooked potato gnocchi - see note 4
  • 1 cup fresh spinach

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil, in a skillet or high-sided frying pan, over medium-high heat.
  2. Sear the salmon for 4 minutes on each side (or until cooked to your liking), then transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
  3. While the salmon is cooking peel and finely chop one onion and 4 garlic cloves.
  4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and saute the onion for 4-5 minutes until soft.
  5. Add the chopped garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Add the white wine and let the mixture simmer for 1 minute.
  7. 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.
  8. Cook this for 5 minutes, uncovered over medium-high heat until thickened slightly. Stir regularly, so it doesn't catch on the bottom.
  9. Add the gnocchi and heavy cream, bring back to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes.
  10. Remove from the heat and add in the fresh spinach.
  11. Flake over the cooked salmon and serve.

Notes

  • Buy skinless salmon fillets to make this dish easier. Pick nice meaty thick fillets. For four people, 10oz/280g will be plenty.
  • Any onion will be fine. I use standard brown onions.
  • Any dry white wine, or swap for vegetable broth or fish stock.
  • You can find shelf-stable pre-packaged gnocchi in the pasta aisle at the grocery store. DeLallo is my favorite brand.
