Best Poached Salmon With Sweet Onions And Balsamic Vinaigrette Recipes

SALMON SALAD WITH SWEET BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Prepare the vinaigrette according to recipe #229445 by Chef Fordido.
• Pour wine into medium sized frying pan, add the Old Bay seasoning, then gently place the salmon into the pan. Turning burner to high, poach the salmon for about 4 minutes, turning the heat to medium, as the cooking action becomes vigorous. Gently turn salmon over to poach for another 4 minutes. Do not over cook, lest the salmon becomes dry in flavor, rather then moist.
• Meanwhile put all the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Add the vinaigrette, mix throughly and allow flavors to mingle before plating the salad.
• Place the salad on a plate, top with the poached salmon fillet. The salmon may be served warm, room temperature or cold. Enjoy!

BALSAMIC GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (avoid parchment paper), then coat with non-stick cooking spray.
• In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes, watching carefully so that it does not burn.
• Add the balsamic vinegar, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk and simmer until the mixture thickens; about 4 minutes.
• Place salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush liberally with the glaze.
• Bake for 5 minutes and then remove from the oven.
• Baste with the glaze, then bake 5 to 10 additional minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
• Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.

BALSAMIC-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• For the glaze: In a small saucepan, bring the vinegar, maple syrup, mustard and garlic to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until thick, about 12 minutes. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
• For the salmon: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the salmon on the baking sheet. Drizzle both sides of the salmon with the olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
• For the vegetables: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cook until the shallots are softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the edamame and snap peas and cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the vegetable mixture among 4 serving plates. Top with a piece of salmon and drizzle with the glaze.
