Description
Here is an easy spring dish that’s light, full of flavor and perfect for any night of the week. The salmon and artichokes are a match made in heaven.
Ingredients
- 4 center-cut fillets of salmon, (approximately 6 ounces each) skin removed
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves, chopped
- 1 shallot, diced
- 12 ounces marinated artichoke hearts, drained
- 3/4 cup oil packed sundried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 3 cups fresh spinach, chopped
Instructions
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a sauté pan over medium high heat. Season the salmon on both sides with salt and pepper and place in the hot sauté pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden-brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes. Add butter and oregano leaves to the pan and baste the salmon with the butter and oregano using a spoon. Remove the salmon fillets from the pan and place on a plate. Cover the plate with foil.
Add the diced shallot and artichoke hearts to the pan and sauté for 4 minutes or until the artichokes start to brown. Stir in sundried tomatoes and deglaze the pan with the white wine, scraping up the bits with a wooden spoon. Cook until wine has reduced by half.
Add spinach and sauté until barely wilted. Place salmon back in the pan with the artichokes, sundried tomatoes and spinach and cook for 1 more minute. Serve.
