Pan-Seared Salmon Puttanesca with Gnocchi
1 pkg (16 oz) Italian Classics Gnocchi with Potato, prepared per pkg directions, keep warm
4 fresh salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
Salt and pepper
Wegmans Pan Searing Flour
1 Tbsp Wegmans Pure Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Wegmans Basting Oil
1 tsp Wegmans Butter
1 jar (24 oz) Italian Classics Puttanesca Sauce
1.Season fish with salt and pepper. Dust both sides with pan-searing flour; pat off excess.

3.Reduce heat to MEDIUM. Cook 4-5 min, until internal temp reaches 120 degrees (check by inserting thermometer halfway into thickest part of salmon).
4.Add basting oil and butter to pan; swirl. Baste with spoon, 1-3 min, until internal temp reaches 130 degrees.
5.Transfer salmon to clean platter; let rest at least 2 min.
6.Heat sauce in saucepan on MEDIUM. Combine pasta and sauce; portion onto serving plates and top with salmon.
