Ingredients
For the Red Pepper Sauté
- 1 large leek (about 1 lb)
- 1/4 cup olive oil extra virgin
- 1 lb bell pepper seeded and julienned
- 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp thyme freshly, chopped
For the Salmon
- 1 bunch dill fresh, divided
- 4 wild salmon fillets (4-6 oz each)
- 4 tsp salt
- 1 lemon thinly sliced
For the Arugula Salad
- 12 oz arugula salad
- 3 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- 1 tbsp lemon juice, fresh
- salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the green top and root section from the leek, and then slice the white section in half lengthwise. Rinse well under cold water, shake to drain out the excess liquid, and then cut ¼ inch thick slices. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil then the leeks. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, and then add the peppers. Stir in the garlic.
- Continue to cook for an additional 7-8 minutes, allowing the veggies to soften and their flavors to meld together
- As the veggies cook, prepare the salmon by arranging some of the dill on the bottom of a lightly oiled cast iron pan or Pyrex baking dish. Lay the salmon fillets on top, sprinkle with sea salt, and top with a lemon slice and cover with more dill. Place the fish in the oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes, just until the fish becomes slightly firm.
- To finish the veggies, season with the salt and stir in the thyme. In a bowl, mix the arugula with the olive oil, lemon, and salt, toss well and serve.
