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.

Steps:
- To make the salsa, combine all of the ingredients together, mix well, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Swirl in the olive oil, and place salmon in hot pan, skin side down, and sear until skin is crisp. Salmon should turn pinkish white 1/4 inch around the edge. Place the salmon in oven for approximately 5 minutes to finish cooking.
- To serve, place the salmon in the center of plate, and top with artichoke salsa. Serve with potatoes or rice.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught, sustainably sourced salmon that is fresh and has a bright pink or orange color.
- Sear the salmon skin-side down first. This will help to crisp up the skin and create a delicious crust.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
- Make the artichoke salsa ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
- Serve the salmon with your favorite sides. Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad are all great options.
Conclusion:
Seared salmon with artichoke salsa is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are a seafood lover or just looking for a new and exciting way to cook salmon, this recipe is sure to please.
