Seared Salmon with Green Olive Salsa Verde

Ingredients

1/2 cup coarsely chopped parsley leaves
1/3 cup pitted Castelvetrano olives, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoon sliced chives
1 tablespoon minced shallot
2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
1 each garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, divided
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
4 each Sockeye Salmon 6oz Skinless, PBO 408910
2 small lemons, halved

Directions

Stir together parsley, olives, chives, shallot, zest, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil tossing to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle and rub paprika mixture onto filets.

Heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat until hot; add remaining 11/2 tablespoons oil swirling to coat. Add fillets skin side up and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn fillets over and cook until golden and just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and let stand a few minutes. Cook lemon halves cut side down until charred, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Arrange fillets on a serving dish. Spoon salsa verde on top of filets. Serve warm with charred lemons.
