Instructions

1

Prepare the ingredients:

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Large dice the potatoes. Finely chop the walnuts. Peel the onion and cut into large wedges; separate the layers. Roughly chop the capers. Peel and mince the shallot to get 2 tablespoons of minced shallot (you may have extra); place in a medium bowl with the vinegar.

2

Cook & drain the spinach:

In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the spinach; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until wilted. Transfer to a strainer; hold or rest the strainer over a bowl. Using a spoon, press down on the cooked spinach to release as much liquid as possible; discard the liquid. Transfer the drained spinach to a cutting board. Wipe out the pan.

3

Make the hash:

In the pan used to cook the spinach, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the potatoes; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes, or until the potatoes and onion have softened. Divide between 2 plates and set aside in a warm place. Wipe out the pan.

4

Make the pesto:

While the hash cooks, finely chop the drained spinach and transfer to the bowl with the shallot-vinegar mixture. Stir in the walnuts, capers and cheese; season with salt and pepper. Slowly stir in enough olive oil to create a rough paste; season with salt and pepper to taste.

5

Cook the salmon:

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. In the pan used to make the hash, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned fillets, skinless sides down, and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired degree of doneness. Remove from heat.

6

Plate your dish:

Divide the cooked salmon fillets between the plates of hash. Garnish with the pesto. Enjoy!
