Description
Salmon is a versatile and flavorful fish that pairs wonderfully with various ingredients. In this recipe, inspired by Jamie Oliver, we enhance its natural richness with a sweet and tangy clementine glaze.
Ingredients
- 2 Salmon fillets adjust based on the number of servings
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 to 3 clementines depending on size
- A few sprigs of fresh dill
For the Glaze:
- 120 ml clementine juice
- 120 ml apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Instructions
Prepare the Glaze:
-
In a saucepan, combine the clementine juice, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and soy sauce.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the glaze has reduced by half and slightly thickened.
-
Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Salmon:
-
Rinse the clementines and slice them as thinly as possible. Remove any seeds.
-
Scrape the salmon skin gently to remove any remaining scales, but do not remove the skin.
-
Rub the salmon fillets with olive oil, then season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
-
Place the fillets skin-side down in a baking dish large enough to fit them comfortably.
-
Lay the clementine slices evenly on top of the salmon.
-
Pour the prepared glaze over the fish and citrus slices.
-
Roast the salmon in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 12 to 15 minutes, or until cooked to your preferred doneness.
-
Baste the salmon occasionally with the cooking juices during baking.
-
If the clementine slices begin to brown too quickly, gently turn them over.
-
Before serving, garnish with fresh dill sprigs and spoon over some of the remaining glaze from the dish.
