Ingredients
4 salmon fillets
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
3 bell colored peppers, roasted and peeled
4-5 tomatoes, blanched and skinned
4-5 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp paprika
1 bay leaf
1 cup fresh basil, coarsely chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
High-quality olive oil
Instructions
1
Begin by heating a spacious pan on your stovetop. Add a drizzle of premium olive oil to coat the pan's surface lightly.
2
Season the salmon fillets with a pinch of salt and pepper. Start by placing the fillets skin-side down in the preheated pan. Allow them to sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until they achieve a perfectly golden and crisp texture. Once cooked to perfection, carefully remove the fillets from the pan and set them aside momentarily.
3
To craft the delectable piperade, heat a generously-sized heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add enough high-quality olive oil to generously coat the pan's bottom.
4
Begin by julienne-cutting the roasted and skin-peeled bell peppers. Dice the blanched and skinned tomatoes. With the pan at a low heat, sauté the thinly sliced onions, the vibrant julienned bell peppers, diced tomatoes, and minced garlic. Allow this symphony of flavors to mingle and develop for approximately 5-8 minutes.
5
As the ingredients meld together, introduce the thyme, paprika, and the distinctive bay leaf. Continue sautéing the mixture until it gradually cooks down and reduces, yielding a harmonious blend of flavors. This process typically takes around 8-10 minutes.
6
When ready to serve, create a stunning presentation by spooning and artfully spreading the piperade onto a generously-sized plate. Gracefully place the pan-seared salmon fillets on top of the flavorful bed of piperade.
7
To add a final touch of freshness and vibrancy, gently toss the coarsely chopped fresh basil with a drizzle of exquisite olive oil. Sprinkle this aromatic basil over the dish, creating a burst of color and aroma that perfectly complements the rich flavors.
