The chef serves this salmon over a salad of romaine hearts, artichoke hearts, radishes, green beans, cucumber, potatoes, celery, scallion, olives, tomatoes, and basil with a dressing of lime juice and olive oil.
Ingredients
- 1 small red onion
- 1/4 pound fresh tomatillos*
- 1 fresh green Anaheim chile*
- 1 fresh poblano chile*
- 3 unpeeled garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 scant cup cilantro sprigs
- 1 scant cup packed fresh spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- about 1/4 cup water
- four 5-ounce pieces salmon fillet with skin
- 12 fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Make coulis: Preheat oven to 400 °F.
- Quarter onion. In a shallow baking pan toss onion, tomatillos (in husks), chiles, and garlic cloves with 2 tablespoons olive oil until coated. Roast vegetables in middle of oven until tender, about 25 minutes.
- Wearing rubber gloves, peel chiles. Cut off tops of chiles and remove seeds and ribs. Discard husks from tomatillos and peel garlic. In a blender purée roasted vegetables and all remaining coulis ingredients except water, adding just enough water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary to facilitate blending. Season coulis with salt.
- With a paring knife make 3 slits in top of each salmon fillet and stuff each with a basil leaf. With a mortar and pestle or an electric coffee/spice grinder coarsely grind peppercorns. Brush salmon with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with ground peppercorns and sea salt. In a large nonstick skillet heat olive oil over high heat until hot but not smoking and sear salmon fillets, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and just cooked through, about 7 minutes total. Serve salmon with coulis.
