One-skillet salmon all’Arrabbiata. The recipe combines the beloved arrabbiata sauce with pan-seared salmon. This version has all of the traditional essentials as well as some additions, including salty anchovies and plenty of wilted spinach for a feel-good hit of green. So delicious. Plus, it’s ready in about 30 minutes.
If you’re that person who loves to sprinkle red pepper flakes on just about every single dish, this recipe is for you. The fiery arrabbiata sauce adds the perfect amount of depth and spice to the crispy seared salmon.
This sauce is made up of garlic, tomato paste and crushed tomatoes, anchovy and red chili simmered to perfection and topped with a garnish of parsley.
The anchovy cooks off, leaving an irresistible richness to the sauce. As it cooks, it melts into the oil alongside garlic and chili pepper, creating an unbelievably flavorful base for the sauce in a short amount of time.
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by-step VIDEO.
