SPICY TUSCAN SALMON RECIPE
Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
- Salmon fillets
- 2 tbsp. Olive oil
- 1 Shallot
- 1 tbsp. Chopped/crushed garlic
- 1 Scotch bonnet pepper
- 3 Roma tomatoes chopped
- 1 tbsp. Pesto Genovese or basil
- 1 tbsp. Crushed chilies
- 1 tbsp. Paprika
- 1 tbsp. Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp. All purpose seasoning
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 1/2 Dry white wine
- Spinach handful
- 1 tbsp. Butter stick
Instructions
- Remove the skin from the salmon and season it with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, paprika, and crushed peppers.
- In a hot skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the salmon on both sides. Cook for 5 minutes and set the salmon aside.
- In the same skillet, add 1-2 tablespoons of butter. Then, add the shallots, garlic and Scotch bonnet peppers. Cook for 2 minutes until it's fragrant, and the shallots become translucent.
- Add the Roma tomatoes and basil/pesto Genovese. Cover the skillet and cook the tomatoes until they start to blister. Then, add more crushed pepper, chicken seasoning, and dry white wine. Cook on medium heat for another 3-5 minutes.
- Adjust the seasoning at this point if needed. Then, add a handful of spinach. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the spinach becomes wilted. Add back the salmon and cook for 2-3 minutes. (Do not overcook, as salmon quickly becomes overcooked)I added some pasta to this, but you could serve it with rice if you prefer. Enjoy!
