  • Add about 1 tablespoon olive oil to a nonstick skillet over medium low heat. Place the salmon seasoning side down and let the crust develop without moving it.

Cook The Gnocchi

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt the water. Cook the gnocchi according to package directions, about 2 minutes or until the dumplings float.

  • Reserve 1 C of the starchy cooking water, then drain. Toss the gnocchi gently with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
