Faroe Island Salmon "puttanesca" Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Salmon

   Season the Faroe Island salmon fillets with salt, black pepper, and a little olive oil. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

   Make the Puttanesca Sauce

   In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add diced tomatoes, capers, black olives, and red pepper flakes. Stir and let simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

3. 3

   Cook the Salmon

   In another skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets skin side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes. Flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through.

4. 4

   Combine and Serve

   Once the salmon is cooked, pour the puttanesca sauce over the top. Garnish with shaved fennel and fresh basil. Serve immediately.
