Ingredients
Serves: 4 Prep Time: 20 min Cook Time: 4 min
• 1 sprig of fresh rosemary, leaves picked and finely chopped
• 10 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 wild salmon fillets
• 1 ½ lbs broccoli
• Cooking fat
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
How to Make Pan-Roasted Wild Salmon With Anchovy-Rosemary Dressing
Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C. Then, use a mortar and pestle and pound the fresh rosemary leaves until they are finely chopped. To this, add the chopped anchovy fillets, and pound it until the mixture has become a thick paste.
In a medium bowl, mix this anchovy paste with the lemon and olive oil. Add more olive oil until it is the consistency you prefer for drizzling. Season with salt and black pepper.
Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. While that is warming, rub the salmon fillets with the cooking fat and season both sides with salt and pepper. Place the salmon in the skillet skin-side down, and cook for 2 minutes.
Place the skillet into the oven, and cook for 4 minutes, or until the salmon has reached 135°F internally at the thickest point.
While the salmon is roasting, steam or boil the broccoli in salted water for 2 to 3 minutes, until just tender. Drain the broccoli, then drizzle with some of the anchovy dressing.
Serve the salmon and broccoli together with additional dressing if desired.
