Ingredients

• Salsa:
• 2 (6 oz.) jars marinated artichokes, coarsely chopped
• 2 cups chopped tomatoes
• 3 Tbsp. minced shallots
• 2 Tbsp. capers
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tsp. sugar
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• Salt & pepper to taste (Note: I use some cayenne pepper, too)

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients before preparing salmon.

4 Salmon filets
2 Tbsp. olive oil

Preheat oven to 400.

Heat a large skillet over medium –high heat. Swirl in olive oil and place fish in hot pan, skin side down, and sear skin until crispy, approx.. 2 minutes. Salmon should turn pinkish white ¼ inch around the edge. Place salmon in oven for anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes to continue cooking, depending on how done you prefer it.

To serve, place fish on plate and top with artichoke salsa.
