Creamy whipped ricotta with sweet caramelized onion and pepper pair perfectly with this deliciously spiced salmon. It's all kind of spectacular!
Ingredients:
1/2 lb salmon fillets
2 tsps olive oil
1 tsp minced garlic
zest from 1/2 lemon
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp dry oregano
salt and pepper to taste
2 tsps olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp minced ginger
2 tsps red wine vinegar
pinch of brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste
Whipped parmesan ricotta:
4 oz ricotta
4 tbsps parmesan
cracked black pepper to taste
First, place the ricotta and parmesan in a food processor and purée for 2 minutes. Stir in the black pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Pat the salmon dry then rub with olive oil. Mix the garlic, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, oregano, salt and pepper together and coat the salmon. Let sit 20 minutes. Heat oil in a skillet to medium low and add the onion cooking 10-15 minutes. Then add the bell pepper, ginger, red wine vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper for 5 minutes. Set aside and keep warm. Bake the salmon in a 400°F oven for 12-14 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork. Spoon or schmear the whipped ricotta on the plate. Place the salmon on top covered in caramelized onion and pepper. Serves 2
