Seared Salmon with Artichoke Salsa

Seared salmon with artichoke salsa features a golden-crusted fillet topped with a bright, tangy mix of artichokes, herbs, and lemon. This elegant dish pairs rich, flaky salmon with fresh Mediterranean flavors.

Ingredients

2 (6-ounce) jars marinated artichokes
2 cups chopped vine ripe tomatoes
3 tablespoons minced shallots
2 tablespoon capers
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 (6 to 8-ounce) salmon fillets, skin on

Directions

To make the salsa, combine all of the ingredients together, mix well, and season with salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Swirl in the olive oil, and place salmon in hot pan, skin side down, and sear skin until crispy, approximately 2 minutes. Salmon should turn pinkish white 1/4-inch around the edge. Place the salmon in oven for approximately 5 minutes to finish cooking.
To serve, place in the center of plate, and top with artichoke salsa.
