Ingredients
Directions
Ingredients:
- 3-4 fillets of Pure Pasture Farms King Salmon
- 6-8 cups fresh rocket (arugula) leaves
- 2 medium red bell peppers, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup capers, drained
- Fresh parsley, finely chopped for garnish
- 2 lemons: one thinly sliced for garnish, one for juicing
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Preparation of King Salmon:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper.
- In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add two tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down, ensuring they're not overcrowded. Cook for about 3 minutes until the skin becomes crispy.
- Gently flip the salmon fillets and sear the other side for another 2 minutes.
- Transfer the salmon fillets to a baking dish and place them in the oven. Roast for 6-8 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. The center should still be slightly pink.
- Rocket Salad Preparation:
- In a large mixing bowl, toss together the rocket leaves and red bell pepper slices.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, juice from one lemon, salt, and pepper to create a simple dressing.
- Drizzle the dressing over the rocket and red bell pepper mixture, tossing gently to combine.
- Serving the Dish:
- On each plate, place a generous serving of the rocket salad.
- Gently lay a roasted King Salmon fillet atop the salad on each plate.
- Sprinkle each dish with capers and freshly chopped parsley.
- Garnish with lemon slices and an additional sprinkle of black pepper if desired.
- Optional: For added flavor, you can also drizzle a bit of the pan juices from the roasted salmon over the top of each serving before presenting.
