Best Salmon Pasta With Spinach And Artichokes Recipes

PAN-SEARED SALMON WITH ARTICHOKES AND WHITE WINE

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets evenly with the salt and place each fillet flesh-side down in the hot skillet. Cook until deep golden brown, about 3 minutes. Sear the sides of the fillets for 1 minute on each side. Using a fish spatula, flip the fillets so the skin side is down and cook an additional 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and the oregano sprigs to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Baste the salmon fillets with the infused butter for 1 minute. Remove the salmon and oregano sprigs to a plate to rest.
• In the same skillet over medium heat, add the artichoke hearts and shallots. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the shallots are softened and the artichokes are beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the chopped oregano and tomatoes and stir to combine. Deglaze the skillet with the white wine and allow the wine to cook down until reduced by half. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the spinach. Cook until the spinach is just barely wilted. Spoon the vegetables onto a platter and top with the rested salmon. Spoon any remaining sauce over the fish and serve.

SALMON PASTA WITH SPINACH AND ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Coat salmon fillet with 2 tablespoons pesto. Place in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove from oven and flake salmon into chunks; set salmon aside.
• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in rigatoni, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until rigatoni has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain in a colander.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat.
• Cook and stir spinach in oil until wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove spinach and set aside.
• Cook and stir garlic, shallots, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in the same skillet until garlic and shallots are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Pour in extra oil if needed.
• Stir in drained artichoke hearts and cook until heated, about 3 minutes.
• Pour in white wine and simmer until slightly reduced, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Combine 2 tablespoons pesto, cooked spinach, salmon, Parmesan cheese, and cooked pasta in the skillet and lightly toss until mixed, 1 to 2 minutes.
