Spinach & Garlic Scapes Salsa With Salmon - cooking recipe

Ingredients

SALSA
2 cups spinach, rinsed & dried (preferably baby)
1/2 cup chopped garlic scape
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
salt & freshly ground black pepper
SALMON
2 lbs salmon fillets, on the skin
1 tablespoon olive oil

Preparation

Place spinach, scapes& parmesan in food processor and pulse until mixture is chunky.
With machine running, pour in olive oil.
Process until mixture is smooth.
Add butter, salt& pepper& mix.
If you didn't ask the fish monger to slice the salmon into scallops (LONG SLICES) then do it yourself by placing a carving knife at a 45 degree angle and slice down through the raw salmon to the skin but NOT through it.
Now place your knife at a 45 degree angle& remove the scallops from the skin; discard the skin.
Place the scallops on a plate& cut each long slice into 2 inch pieces.
Heat oil in nonstick skillet.
Season salmon& place flesh side down; fry 1 side only for 1 minute or until browned.
Flip salmon onto baking sheet, browned side up.
Spread some salsa on top of salmon.
Bake in preheated 450F oven for 1 or 2 minutes - just until white juices begin to appear.
