Salmon, Potatoes, Artichokes, and Arugula

17/11/2023

Here’s a recipe that pairs salmon, potatoes, artichokes, and arugula to create a balanced and tasty dish. Imagine a sort of warm salad, where salmon and artichokes are the stars, accompanied by flavorful potatoes and fresh arugula that adds a peppery note. Since you haven’t specified a favorite cooking or preparation method, I suggest a simple and tasty version.

Ingredients

  • 4 fresh salmon fillets
  • 4 artichokes
  • 400 g of new potatoes
  • 100 g of arugula
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Chives or fresh parsley to garnish
  • 1 clove of garlic

Preparation

  1. Start by cleaning the artichokes, removing the tougher outer leaves and cutting the tips. Cut them into wedges and immerse them in water with lemon juice to prevent them from browning.
  2. Cook the artichokes in boiling salted water for about 10 minutes, or until tender. Then drain them and set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, thoroughly wash the potatoes and boil them in salted water until soft, then drain and allow to cool slightly before cutting them into halves or wedges, depending on the size.
  4. Heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick frying pan and cook the salmon, starting with the skin side down, until it is well browned and crispy. Turn it over and cook the other side. The cooking time varies depending on the thickness of the fillets and personal preferences. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. In the same frying pan, add another drizzle of oil and lightly brown the artichoke wedges with a clove of garlic to give more flavor.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the chunked salmon, potatoes, artichokes, and washed arugula. Dress everything with oil, salt, and pepper, and mix gently.
  7. Serve the warm salad, garnishing with some chopped chives or fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.

Curiosity

Salmon is a very versatile fish rich in Omega-3, and pairing it with artichokes, which are an excellent source of antioxidants and fiber, creates a healthy and balanced dish. In this recipe, the potatoes provide complex carbohydrates, while the arugula adds a sharp and crispy touch. A salad like this is perfect in the spring season, when artichokes are in season.
