angry salmon with garlicky clams
In terms of cooking, Angry generally means a dish will be spicy. The term seems to have originated with the popular Italian sauce, Arrabbiatta, which translates to "Angry Sauce" due to the hot  'peperoncino' pepper used to create the dish. If you like hot and spicy foods, this of course will delight the taste buds and bring a nice flush to the face. Here we have master chef David Burke's Angry Salmon with garlicky clams in a tomato based sauce served over macaroni.

Serves 4

Ingredients:
Directions:
  1. Season salmon with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes & chili powder & chopped basil. 
  2. Wrap in saran wrap, zip lock bag tightly.  Place in dishwater and steam for 8-10 minutes or  poach in water under a boil for 8-10 min
  3. After salmon is steaming, heat a skillet with the ½ cup olive oil.  Add clams, garlic, lemon zest, tomatoes, pepper flakes.  Add white wine, lemon juice, cover and steam until clams open.
  4. Add Macaroni, basil, butter (optional) and broth or water if needed
  5. Season with salt and pepper and more basil leaves.
To Build This Dish
Remove salmon from plastic. Place salmon on steamed spinach or green beans.  Top each filet with approximately 5 clams, macaroni and some sauce, or in the case of this photo it appears the salmon is placed ontop of suggested vegetables or macaroni and topped with steam clams.

Love the name, love the look - think I'll poach my salmon vs. dishwasher steaming!
