Method

Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.

Add onion and cook until translucent, 7 to 9 minutes.

Add garlic, tomato and Old Bay seasoning.

Cook 1 minute, stirring occasionally, until spices smell toasty.

Add chorizo and littleneck clams.

Add wine, cover and simmer until clams open, 3 to 5 minutes.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Turn off heat, stir in butter.

Add lemon juice and parsley.

While onions cook, heat 1/4-cup oil in another sauté pan over medium heat.

Rub salmon with one tablespoon oil and season with salt.

Press a generous amount of pepper on one side of the fillets.

Sear fish, pepper side down for 5 minutes, turn fillets over and sear an additional 3 to 5 minutes, until the fish is cooked through.

Set aside and cover with foil to keep warm.

To serve, spoon clams and chorizo over salmon and garnish with additional parsley.
