PAN-SEARED SALMON WITH CELERY, OLIVES AND CAPERS
The salsa that I spoon over the salmon here is an explosion of contrasting flavors - sweet, salty and sharp - common in Sicilian cooking. I like serving this with sautéed greens and some bread.

Steps:
- Cover the currants with boiling water and set aside to soak for 20 minutes. In a separate small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of boiling water with the saffron and also leave for 20 minutes or longer.
- Gently rub the salmon fillets with 2 teaspoons of the oil, 1/3 teaspoon of salt and a good grind of pepper. Set aside while you make the relish.
- Add 1/3 cup/75 milliliters of olive oil to a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the celery and pine nuts and fry for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the nuts begin to brown (watch carefully as they can burn quickly). Turn off heat and stir in the capers and their brine, the olives, saffron and its water and a pinch of salt. Drain the currants and add them as well, along with the parsley, lemon zest and juice. Mix well and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add salmon fillets skin-side down and let cook for 3 minutes, until the skin is crisp. Reduce the heat to medium, flip the fillets over and cook 2 to 4 minutes more (depending on how much you like the salmon to be cooked).
- Divide the salmon on 4 plates and serve with the warm relish spooned on top. Scatter reserved celery leaves (if using) and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon possible. Fresh salmon will have a bright pink color and a firm texture. Avoid salmon that is dull or has a slimy texture.
- Season the salmon liberally. Salmon is a mild-flavored fish, so it needs to be seasoned well. Use a variety of spices and herbs, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Sear the salmon in a hot skillet. This will create a crispy crust on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and flaky.
- Cook the salmon to your desired doneness. Salmon is typically cooked to medium-rare, but you can cook it to your liking. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the fish.
- Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best served hot off the skillet. You can garnish it with lemon wedges, capers, or fresh herbs.
