Salmon With Gnocchi & Green Garlic

Recipe Directions

1. Heat a skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. When the pan has warmed up, add 1 tbsp of oil or enough to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the asparagus and zucchini (a) to the pan. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
2. After 2 minutes, add the gnocchi (b) to the pan and spread them out so that each gnocchi is touching the bottom of the pan. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Let the gnocchi cook without stirring for 60 seconds. Then stir and turn the heat down to medium. Add the green garlic pesto (c) to the pan. Stir to coat everything with pesto and cook for 3 minutes.
3. While the pesto gnocchi is cooking, open the package of salmon (e) and place on a plate. Season on both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat another skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. When the pan has warmed up, add 1 tbsp of oil or enough to coat the bottom of the pan. Place the salmon in the pan with the nice-looking / presentation side down and sear for 3 and 1/2 minutes.
4. When the gnocchi has cooked for 3 minutes, add the spinach (d) to the pan. Turn the heat down to low and keep everything in the pan while you cook the fish.
5. When the salmon has seared for 3 and 1/ 2 minutes, use a spatula to flip the fish over. Sear the other side for 1 minute.
6. Drizzle the chili oil (f) over the gnocchi and spoon the pesto gnocchi and vegetables on to your serving plates. Serve the salmon on the side.
