Artichoke And Salmon Salad 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.

ARTICHOKE AND SMOKED-SALMON SALAD

Steps:

• Place parsley in large bowl of water. Trim artichokes of stems and leaves, leaving only smooth bottoms with prickly centers inside, and place in water.

Lay artichokes on top of vegetables. Cover and steam, turning 2 or 3 times, for 10 minutes. Add bay leaves, peppercorns and 1/2 cup water. Cover, and simmer until very tender, 30 minutes. Cool.
• Scoop out artichoke hearts, pat dry, and cut crosswise into thin strips. Place in large bowl. Cut haricots verts into smaller pieces and add to bowl with remaining celery and fennel, red onion and olives. Toss to combine.
• Drizzle salad with 2 1/2 to 3 tablespoons oil and toss. Add a good pinch of salt and pepper and toss. Squeeze lemon juice over and toss again. Lay smoked salmon and basil over, and mix gently so fish does not break up. Divide among four salad plates, drizzle a little oil around each, and serve.

ARTICHOKE CRUSTED SALMON WITH MINT VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• To make artichoke crust, place the artichoke bottoms, thyme, garlic, buttermilk or yogurt, mustard, bread crumbs, salt and pepper in a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until smooth. Sprinkle the salmon with the salt and pepper. Divide the artichoke crust into 4 portions and place dollops on the top side only of the salmon fillets. Pat down to form a crust. Cover the artichoke crust with the artichoke slices or sprinkle with bread crumbs. To make the mint vinaigrette, combine the tomato, shallots, mint, lemon juice, salt, pepper and vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place a large non stick skillet over a medium high heat and when it is hot, add the salmon fillets skin side down. Cook until the skin is crispy, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the oven and bake until the salmon is rare, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately with the mint vinaigrette.

ARTICHOKE SALAD WITH ORANGES

Steps:

• Fill a large pan with water and bring to a boil. Add the artichokes and half of the lemon to the pan. Cover and cook the artichokes until they are barely tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
• When artichokes are cool enough to handle pull off the leaves and cut out the fuzzy chokes. Slice the hearts into bite size wedges and squeeze the other half of lemon over the hearts, set aside. Peel and section the oranges discarding the seeds and white pith in a large bowl.
• When ready to serve, alternate orange sections and artichoke wedges on individual plates. Garnish with radish slices, olives and a mixture of the olive oil and lemon juice that will be drizzled over the salad. Sprinkle with paprika and salt, serve immediately.

ARTICHOKE AND OLIVE FARRO SALAD

Steps:

• Set aside a sheet pan or a large plate. Bring a medium pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the farro and give it a stir. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook according to package instructions, skimming off any foam that rises, until the grains are tender and plump. Depending on the type of farro used, this can take anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes. Drain the farro and transfer to the sheet pan or plate; spread out and cool to room temperature, 10 to 15 minutes. (If the farro is left to cool in the strainer, it will keep cooking, take longer to cool and turn mushy.)
• Transfer the farro to a medium mixing bowl. Add the vinegar, oil and ½ teaspoon salt, and stir to combine. Add the olives, artichoke, feta, dill, red onion and chives, and season with black pepper to taste. Stir and taste. Add more salt, vinegar and oil, as needed.
• Serve right away or store in the fridge for up to 2 days. The farro will absorb the vinegar and oil the longer it sits. Adjust seasoning, vinegar and oil before serving.

Place a small lid or saucer on the lemons to keep them submerged and simmer for 10 minutes until they are soft when tested with the point of a knife. Tip the lemons into a sieve and cool under the cold tap.
• Dry roast the almonds in a small frying pan until golden brown, stirring frequently to make sure they don't burn, then set aside. In a large bowl, mix the thyme with the honey, vinegar and olive oil. Squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon and add to the honey mixture.

Pile into a serving dish, cover and keep at cool room temperature.
• To serve: arrange the cold meat on a platter. Toss the rocket into the salad with the roasted almonds (add the nuts at the last minute so they remain crunchy) and serve in a bowl.
