Salmon with Balsamic Onion Marmalade
Salmon with Balsamic Onion Marmalade
1 red onion
2 t. olive oil
½ C. orange juice
¼ C. balsamic vinegar
2 salmon fillets (about 6-oz. each), rinsed
salt and pepper to taste
Peel onion and cut into 8 wedges. Pour 1 t. oil into a 2 to 3 qt. pan over medium heat. When pan is hot, add onion and cook, turning once. Lightly brown, about 5 minutes. Add orange juice and vinegar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until onion is very tender when pierced, about 45 minutes. Shortly before onion is done, pour remaining oil into a nonstick 10” to 12” frying pan over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, add salmon. Cook, turning once, until fish is opaque but still moist-looking in thickest part (cut to test), 7 to 9 minutes total. Transfer the salmon to plates and serve with onion mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Prep and cook time: about 1 hour.
Makes: 2 servings.
